I’m passing on some information, which may be of interest to members of this list.

 

Dryad and DANS have released a press release today announcing a new collaboration.

 

Dryad and DANS are partnering to ensure long-term preservation and accessibility to curated scientific data. Public content on Dryad servers, currently over 15,000 data packages and 50,000 files, will be backed up in the DANS archive regularly to minimize the risk of loss or corruption of data over time.

 

Dryad’s Executive Director, Meredith Morovati, commented: “Dryad and DANS share a deep commitment to the stewardship of global scientific data on behalf of more than 50,000 researchers. We are excited that this partnership ensures that data on Dryad will remain accessible and linked to the scholarly literature.”
