A web based system for unit communication with prospective users. We can provide you with an instance configured according to your own specific requirements. Try out a demo instance at orderportal.scilifelab.se, contact us or Per Kraulis directly.
The Data Centre built and maintains the SciLifeLab Publications database where the results of research assisted by SciLifeLab units can be found. A second database was set up for publications of researchers and fellows affiliated with SciLifeLab.
We encourage SciLifeLab units to support users with data management plans. We provide templates and a software system to manage such plans, the SciLifeLab instance of the Data Stewardship Wizard.
A unit management system (scheduling, invoicing, pricing, operational management etc) has procured by KI and UU, Agilent Technologies iLab Operations Software was awarded the contract. The implementation process is ongoing at KI and UU.
The online survey tool Typeform is offered to the units and administration. It allows to collect questionnaire responses from users/researchers. Email us for access.
This service is currently under construction. The primary goal of the delivery system will be to provide cloud based storage for data delivery for units and their users.
The Data Centre can provide hosting of some services and data for units, and in specific cases also for research groups. In most cases, the hosting will require a Docker image of the service, but we may also be able to host e.g. Shiny apps. Please fill in and send the service request form to datacentre@scilifelab.se for inquiries.
The Data Centre provides support for the SciLifeLab and DDLS community for data publishing through brokering services. We assist the submission of data that spans from genomics, proteomics, microscopy, chemical biology, and several other areas to public repositories. For more information or to request brokering services please contact datacentre@scilifelab.se.
The Data Centre provides access to Anubis, a proposal submission and review handling system. Please contact datacentre@scilifelab.se for inquiries.
Confluence is a tool for team collaboration. It can be used to share and edit documents, manage tasks and project plans, and much else. Visit our Confluence guide for a quick overview of the system and how to get started.
For sharing files we provide you with a Nextcloud solution, all granted projects will be able to use this Dropbox style file sharing option for their files and data. See Nextcloud user guide. Log in using your scilifelab.se email or contact datacentre@scilifelab.se to get an account.
A cloud based system for project planning and storing documents, made available through agreement with UU, and approved also for storage of non-sensitive personal data.
Slack is an online lightweight communication tool. Anyone with an email address that ends in scilifelab.se, scilifelab.uu.se, bils.se or nbis.se can immediately register themselves in the SciLifeLab Slack workspace. Anyone else: request an invite by emailing the Data Centre.
The SciLifeLab Forum is good for more substantial, permanent reference information that is still easy to update. It is a public Discourse instance. Sign up using the blue Sign Up button at the top. See Guide to getting started.
The Data Centre has a mandate from the SciLifeLab board to express the voice of SciLifeLab units towards host universities, SNIC and other parties for issues concerning IT and data management, and to promote better coordination of the data infrastructure of life sciences in Sweden.
As a part of this work, we will host meetings on a regular basis to meet with the units, so you can talk to us directly about your current IT, systems or data management needs.
We will follow up on these meetings by meeting SciLifeLab management, as well as SNIC, to present and discuss what you tell us and work to get the decisions and the funding to concretely address your needs, in synergy with the needs of all SciLifeLab units. Your input is invaluable and there will be many other ways for you to interact with us to improve IT and data handling in SciLifeLab.
As a way of documenting and tracking your IT/data needs we have a Service Request Form to be used. It can be brought to us at one of the meetings or sent to us by emailing datacentre@scilifelab.se:
The SciLifeLab Data Repository, powered by Figshare and maintained by the Data Centre, is a repository for publishing any kind of research-related data, e.g. documents, figures, or presentations.
The Data Centre maintains the Swedish National COVID-19 Data Portal. The aim of the portal is to provide information, guidelines, tools and services to support researchers in utilising Swedish and European infrastructures for data sharing.
If you are a researcher at a Swedish academic institution working in SciLifeLab’s areas of activity, you can get help from the SciLifeLab Data Management support team with publishing your human data and managing access requests or alternatively with setting up an access request system in your own safe environment.
The Data Centre regularly organizes workshops and events on IT and data management for SciLifeLab units, researchers and fellows.
SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series, launched by SciLifeLab Data Centre, combines scientific highlights from SciLifeLab-affiliated researchers and invited experts on the general topic of AI applications in Life Science. The SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series will be held virtually on Zoom and videos will be published openly after the seminars at the SciLifeLab YouTube channel.
If you have questions regarding data management, systems or data access contact the Data Centre using datacentre@scilifelab.se. For other inquiries, please see the general SciLifeLab contact page.
