As of June 2023, MIT is as an institutional member of the Dryad Data Platform (datadryad.org. Use the insitutional login option using your kerberos). Dryad meets some of the open repository/ open publication needs on campus including those brought to the fore by the 2023 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy. Overall, Dryad 1) Offers integrations with manuscript submission systems for Science, Engineering and Social Science journals 2) Supports code publications associated with open data 3) Provides ease of open data publication and curatorial support.

This workshop will give an overview of open data publishing services provided by Dryad and what type of data publications it is best suited for. Please bring your computers, your data, and questions along! Feel free to check out https://datadryad.org/stash/requirements
