Storage and Repository Decision Chart

The RCS ShareFile is a storage service available for Carleton faculty, students, and collaborating outside researchers. ShareFile is an excellent resource to be used as a sandbox throughout all stages of the research data lifecycle. Contact us at Dataservices@carleton.ca to discover different options for publishing your data in a repository when the data is ready
