Instructions
You should have already:
- Discussed with your advisor or client what data (if any) should be archived as part of the project deliverables.

Before contacting the Library RDS team or archiving your data, please read through the Archiving and Preserving Your Data information for detailed guidelines about what to archive and the submission process to Dryad.
When you submit data to Dryad (recommended repository) the data archival process won’t be complete yet, as your submission might need to be revised. However, you will get a DOI associated with your data. To fulfill the data archival requirement, you must submit your data’s DOI by Friday 5/22.
