The Data Stations are a service offered by DANS, the Dutch national centre of expertise and repository for research data. DANS’ focus is to support researchers in the Netherlands by enabling them to make their data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).
A DANS Data Station is a domain-specific digital repository for research data. If you are a researcher or working at an organisation performing research you can deposit your data so they are archived for the long term. You can make data available for reuse or you can impose access restrictions if they contain sensitive information. All published datasets are findable through the data stations, making your research discoverable by others.
DANS offers data stations for different domains to serve the needs of specific scientific communities:
- Archaeological data can be deposited in the DANS Data Station Archaeology,
- Data from the Social Sciences and Humanities can be deposited in the DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities,
- Data from the Medical, Health and Green Life Sciences can be deposited in the DANS Data Station Life Sciences,
- The DANS Data Station Physical and Technical Sciences can be used to deposit research data from the physical and technical domain.
