Why Deposit Data in our Repository?

Traditionally, researchers disseminated their research data through personal websites or emails. Now, sharing through data repositories is more efficient. Data in open repositories generally gain greater visibility and potentially leading to increased usage and citations.

The PolyU Research Data Repository is an option for PolyU Researchers. Our repository also stands out from other repositories by authenticating the uploader's identity. However, if you have other needs, you may also consider other data repositories and peer-reviewed data journals.
