Datasets Archaeology: finding and publishing

Research data can be stored in data archives. These repositories can be used in two ways: for storing your own research data and to consult the data of others.

NARCIS offers access to thousands of scientific datasets and e-publications in the Netherlands.

ARIADNE is a search engine which allows one to search through several archaeological repositories simultaneously.

UvA/AUAS figshare

Since 2017 all UvA researchers have access to the UvA/AUAS figshare. UvA/AUAS figshare allows you to save your research data safely and in an accessible manner; your files are stored on ISO certified servers in Switzerland which you can access from any computer with an internet connection.

Furthermore, UvA/AUAS figshare allows you to safely share, archive, and publish your research data. Every published item is allocated a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), a unique and permanent link, which you can use for articles and presentations.
