SPEC Kit 334: Research Data Management Services · 53
Individual files deposited in eCommons should normally be less than 1 GB in size. The total size of a collection of files
associated with a research project and deposited into eCommons should not exceed 10 GB per year. In many ways this
is merely a functional limit as large files are very hard to handle/download with our current infrastructure. In the future
these limitations may be revised if usage or technology dictates a change.
No total limit, but individual files can’t be larger than 700–800MB because of problems with uploading and
downloading through DSpace.
There is no hard limit but if there is a large data set, we check with Scholars Portal.
Upload limits of 1GB per file (repository limitation).
We accept up to 2 TB of data per project, but we will consider exceptions to this rule.
We are still working on establishing appropriate limits.
We try to keep videos to no larger than 4GB. We have negotiated coverage of 1 TB of collections for a fee.
We’re not sure at this point of the limits. When uploading if there are issues, we can have the vendor load them for us.
Data Archives
2 TB per project, but a researcher could pay for additional storage.
Currently 50MB for data associated with a project is not part of a grant. 100G for data associated with projects that are
supported by a grant.
We currently mediate deposits of data so the limits—if there were any—would be based on our capacity limits for
ingest as they relate to storage, personnel time, etc.
IRs with Data Answered No
Have ability to override limits.
There is a limit of 100 MB per file per upload, but no limit per project or researcher.

For DSpace, some staff involvement is required to set up an account. For Dataverse, no staff involvement is required.
