The Bolin Centre Database primarily publishes data from scientists at the Bolin Centre for Climate Research and their collaborators, including researchers at other universities. Data related to climate and the Earth system from scientists at Stockholm University, but who are not members of the Bolin Centre, are also welcomed.

Data are provided with searchable metadata and persistent identifier (DOI). Support is provided for curation of data and metadata. All data are made openly available. The repository does not host sensitive data. Data are stored and backed up in the Sunet storage system.

FEGA Sweden (Federated European Genome-phenome Archive Sweden) is a national repository for making research data containing sensitive personal data available. The repository is part of the international network Federated European Genome-phenome Archive (FEGA), which works to ensure that data are handled securely and in accordance with the FAIR principles. The main focus is on genomics data, but other types of life science research data can also be accepted. Public information about the data deposited in FEGA Sweden is searchable via Researchdata.se as well as via ega-archive.orgOpens in a new tab.

Data deposit is free of charge for academic research projects. FEGA Sweden also offers controlled sharing of data with other researchers, facilitating international collaboration and knowledge exchange. To facilitate data deposit, general data processing agreements have been signed with several major higher education institutions. Some HEIs are currently working to put routines in place that will enable the deposit of the HEI's data in FEGA Sweden.

GBIF Sweden is the Swedish node of the global network Global Biodiversity Information FacilityOpens in a new tab (GBIF). We facilitate the publication and sharing of biodiversity data, including for example species observations, collection data from natural history museums, genetic data, and ecological surveys and inventories. GBIF can be used by scientists, governments, and other organisations to make data available in a global context in accordance with the FAIR principles.

All data published through GBIF are freely available for research and analysis according to the principles of open science. GBIF assigns a persistent identifier (DOI) to datasets, ensuring traceability and long-term recognition for data owners. GBIF uses open licenses for data and metadata.

Publishing data via GBIF is free of charge for Swedish organisations and researchers.

The SciLifeLab Data Repository is an institutional instance of the general-purpose repository Figshare. The SciLifeLab Data Repository is intended for use by life science researchers at Swedish academic institutions.

Depending on your needs, you can choose to create an item with or without files. For an item with files, you can choose to publish the files openly, under embargo, or with restricted access. The most common types of submissions include uploaded files. However, if the files contain sensitive data, or if they are available elsewhere, you may choose to create an item without files (e.g., a metadata record). Sensitive data cannot be deposited in the SciLifeLab Data Repository.

The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) is a network of stations across Sweden that enables field-based research. SITES focuses on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and recognizes the connectivity of elements within landscapes and between regions. To facilitate comparison between climate zones, landscape elements, and management systems, as well as to strengthen the collaboration within the network of stations, SITES has Thematic Programs (TPs) in remote sensing, catchment monitoring, and aquatic mesocosms providing long-term ecosystem data.

On top of monitoring data coming from the research stations and TPs, SITES offers researchers using the infrastructure to upload their project specific data to the SITES Data PortalOpens in a new tab. SITES Community project data are defined as ecosystem-based data that connects to one or more of the SITES Research Stations and/or Thematic Programs, and are produced by an individual researcher or research group.

The SITES Data Portal aims to provide FAIR data that are made accessible under the Creative Commons by Attribution license (CC-BY). Therefore, project data uploaded on the SITES Data Portal need to be well-documented and metadata must be provided by the data owner, such as instruments, sampling methods, parameters, and units. Project data are published with an open access license unless a compelling reason warrants an embargo.

Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure (SBDI)Opens in a new tab is the Swedish national informatics infrastructure for biodiversity and ecosystems research, and includes GBIF SwedenOpens in a new tab.

SBDI hosts biodiversity data about plants, animals and fungi, and their habitats from various sources such as observation data, museum collections, and molecular data. SBDI focuses on: (1) mobilising Swedish biodiversity data according to FAIR and Open Science principles, (2) developing a platform for integrative analysis of Swedish ecosystems, and (3) providing user support for data-driven biodiversity and ecosystems research. Tools and services are developed in a cost-effective, global open-source community (Atlas of Living Australia, ALAOpens in a new tab), where SBDI is at the forefront in areas such as genomic biodiversity data.

All data are freely accessible for research in accordance with the FAIR principles and Open Science. Sensitive data may be published as openly as possible, but as restricted as necessary.
