Knowledge Mobilization & Research Impact
How Dryad Supports Research
What's the Research-Related Purpose?
- To monitor reuse of your data by promoting data citation and the tracking of data reuse.
- To provide an accessible location for data files (including software scripts) associated with published articles in the sciences or medicine.
Additional Information:
- Data files receive persistent, resolvable Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) that can be used in a citation as well as listed on your CV.
