Share data
SciLifeLab Data Centre promotes Open Science and data sharing according to the FAIR principles, (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). In the SciLifeLab Research data management guidelines (RDM guidelines), you can find data type specific information on this topic. For datasets that do not fit into domain-specific repositories using a general repository e.g. SciLifeLab Data Repository is recommended.
SciLifeLab Data Repository
The SciLifeLab Data Repository, powered by Figshare and supported by SciLifeLab and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation through the Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program, 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 units the opportunity to upload and publish their research data through a dedicated portal.

GDPR for life science data
On 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, replaced our Swedish Personal Data Act. The biggest changes were that individuals’ rights are now more strongly protected and the Regulation applies in all EU countries.
The General Data Protection Regulation requires a legal basis for all processing of personal data. Individuals are given greater control over their personal data in various ways. Their right to access data that they have submitted themselves is strengthened, as is the possibility of having information corrected or being forgotten and having information erased. All processing of personal data must comply with the fundamental principles specified in the GDPR.
SciLifeLab is a national resource and a collaboration between universities, therefore specific guidelines from each university should be followed. To facilitate your compliance with GDPR, general information has been collected below.
