Digital Curation at ETH Zurich

YouTube – ETH Library (external link)

  • Would you like to make sure your research data remains available in the longer term? 
  • Would you like to reference the primary (raw) data your publications are based upon permanently?
  • Would you like to improve the impact of your publication?
  • Is it important to you that your file formats will still be readable in ten or even fifty years?
  • Would you like to ensure that your digital collections are preserved for future generations?
  • Would you like to have a say in for how long your data will remain available and who will be allowed to access it?

With the Research Collection (external link) and the ETH Data Archive, ETH Library provides an infrastructure for publication and medium or long-term storage of digital information such as research data, software code, documents, images or websites. Members of the ETH Zurich staff are entitled to publish their data in the Research Collection, which is the publication platform of ETH Zurich. For automatic uploads of bigger volumes of data, the ETH Data Archive is the appropriate solution with special interfaces.

The Digital Curation Office is your point of contact for technical and conceptual issues concerning long-term electronic archiving and data management. Furthermore, it offers researchers help and support in managing and publishing their data as well as in following the requirements stated in the Guidelines for Research Integrity of ETH Zurich (external link).
