Data/Code Publication

While research funders and publishers mandate the dissemination of data and code underlying the published results, little guidance is provided on how to do it. This workshop addresses the selection of suitable data repositories, explores the role of data journals, and examines data publishing beyond the basic requirements of funders. The session includes a hands-on demonstration of Zenodo, the preferred data repository among EPFL researchers. We will also explore how Zenodo integrates with GitHub repositories, ensuring all necessary publishing metadata is available to disseminate your academic work. Additionally, we will cover the appropriate licensing for your datasets and address data anonymization concerns.

At the end of this workshop, which will be held in presence only, you will be able to:

• Choose the right repository for your code/data;
• Publish your code/data in the EPFL Zenodo community.

While not mandatory, basic knowledge of Research Data Management is recommended: for an introductory training, please register for the workshop ABC of Research Data Management.
