Description
The repository selection flow chart is a product of the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) and is designed to guide users in the biomedical domain through a series of considerations for selecting the right repository for sharing data. In response to community feedback, version 2 of the flowchart includes additional guidance, improved figure clarity, and a better navigation experience. It is intended to be a companion resource to the GREI generalist repository comparison chart, which provides additional details about the features of each of the GREI repositories. Similar to the previous version, this tool has been developed for use by researchers or research services personnel during consultations.
