Orgs using Dataverse as an Institutional Repository

[Deirdre Kirmis]

Hi All .. we are wondering which organizations out there are using their Dataverse installations as an Insitutional Repository?

Do you have other separate repositories, or do you just use Dataverse for IR, data repo, exhibits, etc?

Deirdre,

Here's is the world of Dataverse map:

https://iqss.github.io/dataverse-installations/

with descriptions of each repository. I see a few mention a repository for publications and not necessarily "datasets".  QDR has "print" works - PDFs in its repository.

I am interested in the answer to your question.

As for the University of Virginia, we have another IR (Samvera-based) for "papers", presentations, posters, etc. But have been wondering lately, if dataverse would be a good place to host that material as well. 

Figshare is now advertising its repository as more than just "data", calling it now "all in one repository": https://knowledge.figshare.com/institutions

Hi,

just to clarify QDR's holdings: while we have a lot of PDFs, those are qualitative data, e.g. scans of archival documents, interview transcripts, etc. We don't hold, nor would we accept, publications and other non-data holdings. As currently designed, Dataverse's metadata entry isn't particularly well suited for anything other than data and code, in my opinion, though I think it could be done with some customization, especially with the recent updates to Datacite's metadata that make it more suitable for publications.

As an open source alternative to figshare that supports all types of items out of the box, I'd recommend Invenio (the software on which Zenodo runs). I know CalTech runs their repository on that and is quite pleased.

All the best,

Sebastian
