re3data - The Global Registry of Research Data Repositories | Research Data Community

​For over a decade, our reliable service, re3data, has captured the landscape of these infrastructures. Initiated in 2012, we've diligently mapped the global research data repository terrain. Today, we provide a comprehensive registry of more than 3,000 research data repositories, all grounded in a detailed metadata schema, which we recently released in its 4.0 version.  

Our article, titled “re3data – Indexing the Global Research Data Repository Landscape Since 2012” in Scientific Data, encapsulates our journey with re3data. Herein, we dive deep into ten pivotal aspects pertinent to administrating an Open Science service dedicated to global research data repositories.
