According to OpenAIRE[4], there are several certification instruments to identify suitable Open repositories for research.
- CoreTrustSeal (CTS): this is based on Data Seal of Approval (DSA) and World Data System (WDS) van ICSU. All digital repositories that have one or more of these certifications are listed at https://www.coretrustseal.org/why-certification/certified-repositories/
- Nestor Seal: verification according to DIN 31644
- ISO 16363 certification
Requirements[edit]
According to OpenAIRE and European guidelines for research[4], researchers are requested to deposit in Open data repositories
- research data which allow to validate the results presented in scientific publications
- data identified in the data management plan
- tools necessary to validate the research results
The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has a set of criteria for repositories and it provides a list of data repositories which are suitable according to its criteria[5]
