About HilReDa

HilReDa is the research data repository of the University of Hildesheim, in operation since May 2020. Members of the university use it to publish their research data as open access, so that it is preserved long term and publicly available. Each published dataset receives a persistent identifier (DOI) and can be cited. Sensitive research data can be published with restricted access.

Access to publishing is tied to university membership: users sign in with their university account through Academic Cloud, and the repository team can be contacted by email for help with uploads. The site states that the repository is built on the open source Dataverse software from Harvard University and is hosted by GWDG in Göttingen, which is responsible for data security, backups, access control and availability. The source also notes that other subject-specific repositories, research data centres and data journals exist, and that the team can help choose a suitable place for publication.
