About Duke's Research Data Repository

The Duke Research Data Repository (RDR) is a service of the Duke University Libraries. Our mission is to curate, publish, and archive Duke digital research data from any discipline. We provide long-term public access to support research transparency, reproducibility and to foster new discoveries. Our service is designed to help researchers share their data ethically and to meet the FAIR Guiding Principles (making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) (Wilkinson, et al., 2016).
