Storing and managing data
Funding sustainable access
If there is an expectation that the current data holders provided sustained access, you will need to ask how this will be funded.
As an alternative you could consider depositing data with a third party. In this case you need to question their approach to sustainable access to data, including:
- funding
- conflicting interests
- commercial interest
For example an agreement between the research repository FigShare and the LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) alliance means that if a “trigger event” is caused on FigShare (e.g. they cease to exist or a commercial interest changes access permissions) then the controlled copy in the LOCKSS archive can be released.
