The Dryad Digital Repository is a curated resource that makes the data underlying scientific
publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Dryad provides a general-purpose
home for a wide diversity of datatypes.
Dryad is governed by a nonprofit membership organization. Membership is open to any
stakeholder organization, including but not limited to journals, scientific societies, publishers,
research institutions, libraries, and funding organizations.
Publishers are encouraged to facilitate data archiving by coordinating the submission of
manuscripts with submission of data to Dryad. Learn more here.
Dryad originated from an initiative among a group of leading journals and scientific societies in
evolutionary biology and ecology to adopt a joint data archiving policy (JDAP) for their
publications, and the recognition that easy-to-use, sustainable, community-governed data
infrastructure was needed to support such a policy. See this page to learn more about JDAP.
Data are the foundation of the scientific enterprise. By preserving and making available the data
underlying the scientific and medical literature, Dryad provides benefits to individual researchers,
educators and students and to a diversity of stakeholder organizations.
Researchers: Dryad benefits researchers by providing free access to data they can use for a
host of different purposes: to study and validate published results, for methodology development,
for meta-analyses, and to address novel questions using historic observations. Submitting to
Dryad helps researchers get more credit for their work by increasing the usability and citability of
their data.
Educators and students: Dryad provides educators and students with the opportunity to teach
and learn a broad array of analysis techniques, and general data literacy skills, using both
classic and recently published research data.
Scientific societies: Archiving data in Dryad strengthens the legacy of a scientific society by
permanently preserving the data and increasing the research impact of its members and
community. The availability of data creates new opportunities for research and education and
promotes public trust in science.
Journals and publishers: Dryad frees journals and publishers from the responsibility and costs
of publishing and maintaining supplemental data in perpetuity. By encouraging a broader range
of reuse, journals and publishers increase the impact, citations and the prestige of their
publications.
Research institutes and libraries: Dryad provides institutions with a new method their
researchers can use to showcase their work. It provides infrastructure for the preservation and
dissemination of research data collected at the institution, as well as data from other institutions
of value to its patrons.
Research funding organizations: Dryad provides a cost-effective mechanism for free, long-
