The PolyU Research Data Repository (Beta)

Overall Workflow

Only researchers affiliated with PolyU have the privilege to share datasets via our repository. The level of access and functions available to a user within the repository is determined by their roles.

The workflow of depositing datasets is summarised below:

Folder & Dataset Organisation

In PolyU Research Data Repository, datasets must be deposited inside folders.  Folders are organised as follows:

• Faculty, school, unit and departmental folders are the highest-level non-editable folders
• Master folders are personal folders and hosted under departmental folders.
  • ARA staff can create a master folder by filling in the online form 
  • Sub-folders, for projects or students, for instance, could be created under the master folders 
  • Datasets could be deposited under the master folders or sub-folders
  • Other repository users, e.g. research assistant or students of the master-folder owner, may be granted a curator role to manage folders and datasets

You may refer to Roles & Rights for the rights of different users in folder and dataset management.
