Digital Commons Data
Datasets are required to have a title, description, and at least one named contributor. Datasets must be scientific in nature and consist of research data. For example, raw or processed experimental or observational data is acceptable, rather than the narrative research article which may have resulted from the research. Datasets must NOT have already been published, and therefore may not already possess a DOI. They must NOT contain:
- Executable files or archives that are not accompanied by individually detailed file descriptions
- Copyrighted content (audio, video, image, etc) to which you do not own the copyright
- Sensitive information (for example, but not limited to, patient details, dates of birth, etc.)
- Data generated by an AI/LLM; nor depend on AI to verify dataset accuracy
