Repository of SPSTL SB RAS Research Data

The initial data accumulated in the course of research activities is a valuable resource that can become the basis for further study, reinterpretation, revision of results, combining or comparing with other sets of comparable data in a specific field of knowledge, conducting meta-analysis, etc. Providing this data to open scientific access makes it possible to increase the visibility of research results. The article focuses on the form of organization of the initial research data: an online repository. The purpose of the article is to present the repository of the scientific library as an information system providing open access to the original research data for their promotion in the scientific information space. The analysis of domestic and foreign publications on the topic “Research Data Repository” (RID) has shown that there are not enough domestic works on this issue yet, although the range of problems considered by specialists is rather wide: from theoretical understanding of various aspects of the study of RID to the description of practical experience. Foreign publications are marked by a higher level of generalization and theorization of practical experience. The presence of l some Russian repositories of research data on the Internet and their small number registered in the Registry re3data.org suggest that this is a fairly new phenomenon for Russia or not widely spread. The creation of a repository of initial research data at the State Scientific Research Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is one example of the movement towards openness of data sets: it will allow specialists, experts and reviewers to place, store and provide access to the initial data sets to verify the findings.
