The re3data platform is an international directory of trusted data repositories. It allows you to find a suitable subject repository for your data. You can search by discipline, data type (e.g., audio file, database) or country.

The Austrian Social Data Archive (AUSSDA) offers a subject-specific data repository and, as a central research infrastructure in Austria, enables both the archiving of research data and data re-use. In addition, AUSSDA is the Austrian representative in the European network of data archives (CESSDA ERIC). AUSSDA is organised as a consortium consisting of the universities of Vienna, Graz, Linz and Innsbruck and currently focuses on social science data from subjects such as sociology, political science and economics. The AUSSDA team offers support in the preparation and archiving of data for all social scientists in Austria. In addition to expertise in preparing, archiving and providing data, AUSSDA also offers advice on research data management (http://aussda.at/services/).

AUSSDA implements international standards to make research data discoverable, accessible, interoperable and usable according to the FAIR principles, thereby supporting the open science movement and increasing the potential for data use. In doing so, integrity in archiving, compliance with data protection and ethical principles in research data management have the highest priority.

Since the beginning of 2023, WU has been participating in the AUSSDA consortium as an observer and, within the framework of this observer status, which is limited to one year, can participate in the meetings of the steering committee and the user advisory board in order to gain insights into the consortium and to evaluate future design and participation possibilities.

Zenodo is an interdisciplinary repository for all diciplines. It is operated by CERN and OpenAIRE (EU). You can upload up to 50 GB free of charge. Zenodo can also be used to create communities that map the research output of projects, institutes or entire institutions. If your are affiliated with WU, you can upload your data directly to the WU Zenodo Community. We check your affiliation before we make the data set available in the WU community. WU Research Data Management team will be happy to answer any questions related to the uploading process.
