Emerging requirement: Deposition Databases • To respond to needs of funders and journals regarding data management policies, and data access requirements • Life scientists not only need to • Find the information that is essential to their research, but also • Safely deposit and share their precious research results • ELIXIR Deposition Databases • are part of an ELIXIR Node portfolio of services • accept deposition of experimental data from an international community of researchers beyond the funding envelope of the database itself • In addition ….
ELIXIR Deposition Databases – Emerging need • The ELIXIR Deposition Databases meet the technical quality and governance criteria expected of ELIXIR Core Data Resources. • May be at an earlier stage of development, meeting an emerging scientific requirement, or maybe narrower in scope. • Some, but not all, of the ELIXIR Deposition Databases also appear in the ELIXIR Core Data Resources list. https: //www. elixir-europe. org/platforms/data/elixir-deposition-databases
