REDU is the institutional repository of data resulting from research projects at UNICAMP, comprising the corresponding metadata and data files. The data themselves may not be included in REDU, but in other recognized institutional repositories for specific disciplines. The associated metadata must be obligatorily registered in REDU.

Metadata is a set of information needed to catalog the data and allow it to be easily found without having to open the corresponding data files. These files contain the actual data resulting from the research projects. REDU requires the registration of 7 metadata fields – (1) Title of the file. (2) Names and ORCIDs of the authors of that data. (3) Textual description of the file's contents. (4) Keywords and subjects. (5) Contact and email for more information about the data (6) Agencies funding the research that generated the data. (7) associated project numbers.

If the project that generated the data has not received any funding, the funding agency must be informed as “none” and the project number as “0000”. are accessible

A Data Management Plan is a text that must answer two basic questions:

1. What data will be collected and generated by the project to ensure its reproducibility

2. How the data generated will be preserved and made available for reuse, considering ethical, legal, confidentiality and other issues.
To write a Data Management Plan, it is recommended to use the dmptool.org online tool. UNICAMP has some basic forms registered.
For more information on Data Management Plans, check the pages www.fapesp.br/gestaodedados🇧🇷 If you still have questions, send an email to redu@unicamp.br.

Not. REDU is the official repository of data produced by any research carried out at Unicamp, even if it has no funding.

Teachers, researchers and collaborators previously registered in REDU, and people authorized by them, by completing a co-responsibility form.

Each file can be a maximum of 4Gbytes. For requests for more space, send an email to redu@unicamp.br.

Only if the person responsible for your research authorizes this submission, by completing the co-responsibility form.

Yes, as long as you eventually deposit the data, or inform the URL of the repository where they are found.

Not. Only people with a formal connection with Unicamp can publish data and metadata in REDU. Researchers external to Unicamp and who are part of a project coordinated by Unicamp may deposit data from that project, under the responsibility of the project coordinator, who must obligatorily appear as co-author and authorize the deposit via the co-responsibility form.

REDU is a data repository. Scientific articles and any type of text (reports, monographs, and the like) must be deposited in Unicamp's Repository of Scientific and Intellectual Production https://www.repositorio.unicamp.br/.

Yup. The ideal in this case is to place all the tables in a single compressed file, which can be cited in the original work.

Yes, but normally due to volume, climate data must be stored in specific worldwide repositories, and only metadata must be registered in REDU.

Not. Files with DNA sequences must be sent to repositories recognized worldwide for such data types, for example GenBank. In these cases, only the metadata must be registered in REDU, indicating the external repository as the storage location.

It depends on how the bibliographic surveys are tabulated and registered. Consult the CGDP for more details.

Not. TCC are deposited in the Institutional Repository of Scientific and Intellectual Production at Unicamp – https://www.repositorio.unicamp.br/.

Yes, as long as they are inserted by the Unicamp researcher, who must declare the external researchers as co-authors of that data set, always assuming the consent of the external co-authors.

Data created within research carried out at Unicamp can be stored in any public databases or repositories. However, the metadata must be mandatorily registered in REDU.

Just enter REDU and change the file.

Yes.

Data whose metadata is registered in REDU becomes immediately visible to international research data networks. Metadata is “exported” following global standards for these networks. Data can be found using web browsers, or search engines, with metadata being used as a search field (for example, keywords or file titles, or description of file contents).

Any data entered into REDU immediately becomes public once submitted for publication and with approved metadata. To enable grace period, send
an email to CGDP (cgdp@unicamp.br), explaining the reasons for the grace period and the desired period.

Not. All data published via REDU is automatically accessible by any researcher worldwide.

No – see answer to question 3.

No, because the posting will only be carried out with authorization from the advisor regarding the scientific value of those data and their subsequent reuse.

Data collected outside of research projects may only be deposited with express authorization from the CGDP. In these cases, contact the CGDP cgdp@unicamp.br to detail the nature and origin of the data, and other information necessary for the use of REDU.

The publication of personal data of individuals who are the subjects of a research project is subject to the ethical rules of each discipline and the General Data Protection Law. Such data may be published as long as they are duly pseudonymized in order to prevent the identification of individuals and such publication is authorized by the project's ethics committees.

There are two types of responsible – (a) the person responsible for entering the information (data or metadata) and who will be registered in the metadata as a depositor. and (b) the people (or person) responsible for generating the data and metadata, who must be registered as “authors” in the metadata. Both categories are co-responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the deposited data.

Not. The curation and quality of data is the sole responsibility of the people responsible for registering and depositing data in REDU. The Central Library does a preliminary check of some types of metadata, but most of the metadata is also the responsibility of the authors and depositors.

Yup. This DOI can be cited whenever it is used in any research, contributing to the visibility of the authors and their research.

The DOI of a dataset is part of its metadata. It is created at the time the metadata is entered and submitted for publication, and activated once the metadata is deemed ready for publication by the Central Library.

Data can be migrated, just update the metadata field that informs the url where the data is hosted. The DOI is assigned automatically and changing this field does not change the DOI.

Protocol texts normally form part of scientific methodologies and appear in the text of an article. Frequently used protocols can for example be transformed into algorithms and, in these cases, the algorithm can be deposited in REDU.

The publication and sharing of research data has 3 winners – the advancement of knowledge (and, therefore, the whole of society), the researcher, and the instuon (in this case, Unicamp)

For researchers
Data files deposited in REDU immediately become public worldwide, being indexed by all search data indexing engines on the Web. This is proven to attract research collaborations around the world, often unexpectedly. In addition, the registration of these data will generate a DOI for the corresponding data, which can thus be cited whenever they are used in any research, contributing to the visibility of the authors.

for Unicamp
The publication of data resulting from research carried out at Unicamp increases the visibility of your research, in addition to providing you with more subsidies to account to society for the investments made at the University. It also allows attracting more research collaborations with other institutions inside and outside Brazil.
