Yoda and your grant proposal
As a researcher, it is important that you meet research data management requirements to get your research funded. When you use Yoda, you can be sure that this is the case. In your grant application, funders expect you to provide information about data management policies. Besides, you need to develop and maintain a research data management plan during your research project. Information about the costs when using Yoda can be found on this page.
"Our research uses the research data management system Yoda. Yoda facilitates collaboration on data during research, archiving of data during and after research, and publication of research data. Data along with its metadata is shared within a closed user group, accessible to authorized users anywhere via an internet connection. Client user workstations can be any platform that supports WebDAV protocol (e.g. Mac, Windows, Linux). Research data integrity is enhanced through the use of the Yoda Vault, data can be deposited in the vault where it becomes read-only. Vaulted data can be published (findable and citable via DOI Datacite identifier) and as such can be made available to the research community at large. All Yoda data is stored in at least two geographically spread locations. The data is stored and transmitted in encrypted format, Yoda complies with Utrecht University's Information Security policy for data classified as public, internal use, sensitive and critical."
"As a minimum, the metadata in Yoda will comply with the Datacite V4 standard. In addition, the system facilitates validation by per-research-configurable metadata schemas based on JSONschema to support discipline specific metadata. The metadata is stored persistently along with the data and in the Yoda repository database. It is findable in Datacite upon publication of data. The metadata in the Yoda repository can also be retrieved via a service that complies with the Open Archives Initiatives Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)."
"Yoda is Utrecht University's institutional research data repository. It is registered as such with re3data.org. Yoda complies with Utrecht University's Information Security policy for data classified as public, internal use, sensitive or critical. "
"Using Yoda, we aim to describe our data in compliance with the FAIR principles. Our published data has the following characteristics:
- Our data is Findable via its DOI persistent identifier and the associated metadata.
- Our data is Accessible as it has been deposited in the Yoda repository along with accessibility classification and available either publicly downloadable as Open Data or available upon request in case of Restricted Data (sensitive data).
- Our data is Interoperable via information on semantics as part of the data itself.
- Our data is Reusable as per its explicit license that is part of the metadata."

All Yoda data is stored in at least two geographically spread locations. The data is stored and transmitted in encrypted format. Metadata scheme in Yoda complies with the Datacite V4 standard, supplemented by discipline specific metadata. The metadata is stored persistently along with the data in the Yoda repository database. Data or metadata (if data cannot be published) is findable, harvestable, and searchable by Datacite upon publication of data or metadata. Metadata is stored in machine readable formats. Yoda allows referencing of other datasets or publications that are part of the same publication or project and will show up in the metadata."
