The same steps, as a list:

1. 1

   Step 1

   Start with a data management plan. It states what data you will produce, how you will describe them, and where and when you will share them.

   • Research data management
2. 2

   Step 2

   In Chile, ANID's policy requires that plan from its grantees, and asks them to publish the data at most one year after the final report.

   • ANID open access policy
3. 3

   Step 3

   The data go into a repository, a service that keeps them, describes them and makes them findable.

   • Research repository
4. 4

   Step 4

   Many universities run an institutional repository. ANID's policy accepts data deposits there or in the agency's own repository.

   • Institutional repository
5. 5

   Step 5

   Another option is a repository for your discipline. PANGAEA, for example, publishes earth and environmental science data.

   • PANGAEA
6. 6

   Step 6

   To find one, search re3data, a registry of research data repositories.

   • re3data
7. 7

   Step 7

   If none fits, Zenodo is a free, general-purpose repository run by CERN, with a DOI included for each deposit.

   • Zenodo
8. 8

   Step 8

   Describe your data well. Metadata say who, what, when and how, so that others can find and understand them.

   • Metadata
9. 9

   Step 9

   The FAIR principles sum up the goal, data that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.

   • FAIR
