This is a community for curated datasets and software originating from research performed at Cornell University by researchers affiliated with the University.

(For publications, presentations, and other forms of research outputs, please deposit your files in the Cornell University institutional repository eCommons or in “regular” Zenodo.)

What is curation:

The curation process involves a review of a researcher’s data and documentation to ensure the data are as complete, understandable, and accessible as possible.  The extent of the dataset review will depend on the size of the dataset deposited, how well documented it is, and general curator availability. These reviews are not peer review and do not judge the core scientific analysis, methodologies, or conclusions behind the data. Instead, the purpose of review is to ensure metadata completeness, and data usability and discoverability. 

Cornell University Library is also a member institution of the Data Curation Network (DCN), which expands our capacity to curate data from a large number of disciplines and data types by accessing a network of curators across multiple institutions.
