Current platform analytics has limited capability and functionality at this time.
For Contact Information, we require this from depositors and verify it upon deposit, but we do not go
back and check that it is still valid at a later date.
Full-text indexing is available on PDF files and any metadata only.
Most of the above is for libraries collections.
Terms of use are in review by the university counsel’s office.
Terms of use provided when known and specified by the depositor.
Use analytics only include data viewed and download totals.
We are a part of SHARE.
We are currently reviewing and revising our terms and conditions with the goal of simplifying them
and perhaps converging on a Creative Commons license instead.
We require one author to be designated as the corresponding author for each dataset, however, we
have no ability to update this information if the person leaves the university or otherwise declines
to update their contact information in the repository. We provide limited full-text indexing with
various approaches for enhancing how the content of datasets can be leveraged to improve findability,
thumbnails, snippets, etc.
