A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements for inclusion in re3data.org are met: the repository
has to be run by a legal entity, such as a sustainable institution (e.g. library, university) and clearly state
access conditions to the data and repository as well as the terms of use. Additionally, an English graphical
user interface (GUI) plus a focus on research data is needed.[5]

Partners and cooperation

re3data.org is now a regular service of DataCite. It has been a joint project of the Berlin School of Library
and Information Science, the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and the Library of the
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The project has been funded by the German Research Foundation
(DFG).[1] The project cooperates with other Open Science
initiatives like Databib,[7] BioSharing,[8] DataCite[9] and
OpenAIRE.[10] Several publishers, research institutions and
funders refer to re3data.org in their Editorial Policies and guidelines
as a tool for the identification of suitable data repositories, e.g.
Nature,[11] Springer[12] and the European Commission.[13]
