Guide to Hosting, Collecting & Working with Data: Overview
With Digital Commons @ Georgia Southern, the library provides a secure infrastructure for collecting, managing, and securely storing many types of "working" data with flexible access controls and no storage limits. Likewise, you may need to provide limited public access to working data during the active phase of research.
Hosting your "working" data in Digital Commons at Georgia Southern may also facilitate curating and sharing your data when the time comes. For an example of how researchers are using Digital Commons to manage and distribute "working" data while meeting IRB requirements, see this video:

For help determining whether Digital Commons @ Georgia Southern is the right home to store your "working" data, contact Jeffrey Mortimore, Digital Scholarship Librarian.
