The Wyoming Data Repository is powered by the Dataverse Project. The Dataverse Project is different than what many may know the term Dataverse as the Microsoft product. Dataverse is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyze research data. It facilitates making data available to others, and allows you to replicate others' work more easily. Researchers, journals, data authors, publishers, data distributors, and affiliated institutions all receive academic credit and web visibility. In this section of the tutorial, we will cover some of the background information and terminology that is relevant to using the Wyoming Data Repository.

What is a Dataverse?

A Dataverse repository is the software installation, which then hosts multiple virtual archives. Each of these archives contains a collection, a collection contains datasets, and each dataset contains descriptive metadata and data files. However, these archives are referred to within the Dataverse ecosystem as a “dataverse” and each dataverse can contain multiple sub-dataverses. For the sake of clarity, we will only refer to the “University of Wyoming Dataverse Collection” throughout the rest of the tutorial and if there is any interest in creating a separate dataverse or sub-dataverse please contact wyodata@uwyo.edu to consult with the UW-libraries on the best path forward.

Signing Up

In order to use the Wyoming Data Repository, researchers must first sign up. All University of Wyoming users (students, faculty, and staff) are eligible to submit datasets to the Wyoming Data Repository. The UW Libraries and ARCC will review all requests and will endeavor to publish submissions within five (5) business days. In some cases we will have questions about your dataset that need to be clarified before publication. If you have a tight deadline for a dataset, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet that deadline without reasonable notice. Please plan ahead!

In order to sign up, please navigate to the Wyoming Data Repository website at https://dataverse.arcc.uwyo.edu and click on the “Sign Up” link on the top menu bar.

This takes you to a form on the ARCC Service Portal where you will need to enter some information for your account creation. This includes name, email, institution affiliation, college/department, suggested name of a Dataverse Collection, and additional information.

Once you add the required information, ARCC and the Libraries will receive the request for review and create the account. You will be notified as an emailed reply to the request.

Straight Code - No context

Limit to 16 lines in the example. This is the end

Same Thing With Images

Two Column Tables are nice ways to separate content/ Background info along with an image example on the same “Slide”. Please notice the table width. This should stop scroll bars from appearing Bullets are nice to include for distinct points yep they sure are This is 14 lines

Alternatively No Table

Finally The End
