Assessing Data Sharing Under Preprints: Value And Contribution Of Data Repositories – ASAPbio

"Here, we survey the websites of four preprint servers, and seven data repositories, focused on the life sciences. The preprint servers (bioRxiv, medRxiv, Open Science Framework (OSF), and ResearchSquare) host manuscripts. The repositories house a variety of types of data, from gene expression of humans and non-human species (GEO, SRA, EGA), to protein structure (PDB), and other research outputs (Zenodo, figshare, Dryad).

Our purpose was to determine the policies repositories may have, or not have, around hosting data that has not yet been published in a traditional academic journal, as well as policies preprint servers may have around inclusion of data."
