Guide to Hosting, Collecting & Working with Data: Overview

With Georgia Southern Commons, 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 Georgia Southern Commons may also facilitate curating and sharing your data when the time comes. For an example of how researchers are using Georgia Southern Commons to manage and distribute "working" data while meeting IRB requirements, see this video:
