Welcome to datastore, the research data repository of the University of Münster. With datastore, you can make your research data permanently available and citable in accordance with the FAIR principles. Once published, your data can also be discovered through a variety of search engines.
datastore helps you meet the requirements of the University and of funding organizations such as the DFG, which call for the publication of research data – unless there are valid reasons not to do so. All datasets submitted for publication are curated by the Service Center for Data Management to ensure compliance with metadata requirements and repository standards.
Our repository is based on the InvenioRDM framework, which was developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and is continuously being further developed by a globally active community, which also includes the University of Münster.
Easy
Publishing research data in three steps: describe data, cite authors, upload files.
Visible
Best visibility in search engines thanks to standardized metadata and persistent identifiers.
Worldwide
Permanent worldwide retrievability of the published research data and their metadata.
Our service is available to all staff members, doctoral candidates, and research assistants at the University of Münster who need a reliable solution for publishing their research data.
