Dryad is being utilized for the NEOMED community data repository. This guide will present the tools and contact information for support with submitting data to the Dryad community.

Getting Started with Dryad

 

Dryad & NEOMED

 NEOMED is an Institutional Member of the Dryad data repository, a platform that makes research data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable (.Dryad Data Repository | NC State University Libraries (ncsu.edu))  This means that you can submit data to Dryad at no cost to you. This is especially useful if you have a grant that requires you to share your data (NIH grants) or if you would like to make your data discoverable. 

If you have any questions on how to submit your data, please contact Dryad directly at help@datadryad.org. 

Also, please note that you will need to be on the NEOMED campus or logged into the NEOMED VPN the first time you create an account with Dryad. Otherwise, your Dryad account will not be connected with your NEOMED affiliation and you may be asked to pay for the service instead of taking advantage of NEOMED's membership. 

For general questions about Dryad, please contact help@datadryad.org or library@neomed.edu.
