IEEE Data Port

 in News

IEEE DataPort is a valuable tool for researchers who need to store, share, access other research datasets, and manage research data over time. The IEEE DataPort platform serves the global technical community and can be used by individuals and institutions. To get started, individuals can go to https://ieee-dataport.org and log in. No membership is required, although IEEE Society members will receive a free Individual Subscription upon logging in.

Datasets will receive a free DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and will be stored indefinitely by IEEE. All data owners retain ownership and copyright to their datasets when they are published on the IEEE DataPort platform. The platform is not exclusive, so even if someone has stored their dataset on another platform, they can still publish their data on IEEE DataPort.
