Help

Welcome to the Radboud Data Repository (RDR) help page. Here, you can find information on various topics regarding the RDR.

INFO

Since Monday May 6th, the RDR has a new feature. All Data Sharing Collections (DSCs) now have an additional step in the publication process, namely the FAIR review. In this step a FAIR reviewer will help to make your data collection more FAIR. This ensures that when you publish a data collection with the RDR, the quality of that data collection is high and potential data users will be better able to find and reuse it. For more information on what this step entails, see our help page on FAIR review. Be aware that this new feature will probably effect your time schedule when publishing a DSC.
