Recommendation

eLife Recommended Repositories and Standards

eLife has identified a set of trusted and established repositories for hosting data alongside eLife articles; this is a starting point rather than a non-exhaustive list of repositories we recommend and we do not mandate using only these.

This record is maintained by: wm.chan

This recommendation is taken from the following policy:
