Important Points to Note

For data that cannot be accommodated by the UTokyo Repository, we may refer to external data reporitories or similar services.

There are no restrictions on file formats; however, due to the constraints of the repository system, you cannot deposit files using a directory structure as shown below.

Example: 
 sampledata
∟_ data1.txt
∟_ data2.txt

If you wish to deposit files while retaining their directory structure, please provide them in a compressed format, such as a ZIP file.

Example: 
sampledata.zip

Please ensure in advance that the research data you intend to deposit with the UTokyo Repository is eligible for public release.

Research data such as the following may need to be designated as private or restricted-access.

• When consent for data publication has not been obtained from all collaborators
• Subject to disclosure restrictions under joint research agreements with companies or other entities
• Contains personal information, patent information, national security information, etc.

The FAIR principles are recommended as standards for data publication.

You are encouraged to create a Readme file as a text file containing a description of the data and publish it along with the actual research data files.
