A '''data repository''' in its broadest sense is a destination for data storage. There are many online data repositories, and several organizations, such as [http://re3data.org re3data.org] (Registry of Research Data Repositories) and [http://biosharing.org biosharing.org] Information Resources provide curated listings of data repositories. | |||
Although iDigBio is a repository for recordsets of primary biodiversity data of vouchered natural history collections, it is not a "data repository" as defined by most journals. Accepting individual researcher datasets, even those consisting of vouchered, natural history specimen digitized data and media, currently falls outside of the Scope of iDigBio. | Although iDigBio is a repository for recordsets of primary biodiversity data of vouchered natural history collections, it is not a "data repository" as defined by most journals.

Journals such as [http://www.nature.com/sdata/ Scientific Data], [http://biodiversitydatajournal.com/ Biodiversity Data Journal], and others, are starting to mandate that researchers submit their data to a publicly accessible data repository prior to article publication for peer review, discoverability, repeatability, and reuse. Some journals will host data, others require that the datasets be submitted to community-recognized repositories or to general-science repositories. Further, researchers are being increasingly required by funding agencies to better account for, manage, archive, and make publicly accessible the digital data resulting from federally funded scientific research. | Journals such as [http://www.nature.com/sdata/ Scientific Data], [http://biodiversitydatajournal.com/ Biodiversity Data Journal], and others, are starting to mandate that researchers submit their data to a publicly accessible data repository prior to article publication for peer review, discoverability, repeatability, and reuse.
