Publishing and archiving research data
- WueData is the institutional research data repository of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg for publishing data according to FAIR principles
- The Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg Archive server for long-term data storage not actively used in research
Scientific data repositories
- The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics - Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) specializes in the 3D structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids
- The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) acts as a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data, as well as other types of molecular abundance data
- PROSITE offers a database of protein families, domains, and functional sites, facilitating the understanding of protein function and the identification of significant patterns
- The Image Data Resource (IDR) focuses on image data, serving as a resource for the storage, integration, and analysis of microscopy data in the scientific and biomedical research fields
Publishing code
- GitHub is a widely used platform for hosting and sharing code repositories. It supports collaboration by tracking changes in source code using Git, a distributed version control system. It's ideal for open-source projects
- Similar to GitHub, GitLab provides a web-based Git repository manager with wiki, issue-tracking and CI/CD (continuos integration/ continuos deployment) pipeline features, allowing for comprehensive project management and code sharing
- Bitbucket is a Git repository hosting service that offers free accounts with unlimited private repositories (with a small team limit), making it a good option for private or small-scale projects
- SourceForge is a web-based service that offers software developers a centralized online location to control and manage free and open-source software projects
General purpose
Zenodo is a general-purpose open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program, allowing researchers to share and preserve any research outputs in any size, any format, and from any discipline
