SciLifeLab Data Repository

The SciLifeLab Data Repository, powered by Figshare, is a repository for publishing any kind of research-related data, e.g. documents, figures, or presentations. Figshare is an open data repository used by researchers in numerous disciplines. Through an agreement with Figshare, SciLifeLab offers researchers and facilities the opportunity to upload and publish their research data through a dedicated portal. 

Why use the SciLifeLab Data Repository

  • Data is made citable through its DOI
  • Connect data with its publication
  • Datasets are indexed by Google Dataset Search
  • Data can be indexed by Google Scholar
  • Increase the FAIRness of data
  • Permanent storage of data

Description of Service

The purpose of the SciLifeLab Data Repository is to serve publishing of data. The Repository is not meant for restricted data sharing between project partners only or as temporary storage, and all data uploaded is expected to become public at some point. However, data that requires controlled access can also be handled, by submitting a meta data record without the actual raw data itself.

Individual users automatically receive 50 GB of storage space which can be increased by request. When uploaded data is published, a permanent DOI link is created which can be used for citations.
