When must I deposit my data?

Question

What are the deadlines for depositing a data archive?

Answer

For regular publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and book chapters:
All MSc students, PhD students, postdocs and other researchers (including professors) should compile a documented archive of all data underlying a publication and send this in for storage in the repository within 3 months after the paper appears online, including ‘early online’ publication.

For data collected in the context of an MSc study:
All data should be deposited no later than the date of handing in the final version of the MSc report. A grade for the project will only be awarded when all data (including documentation) are deposited with the daily supervisor of the project (PhD student, postdoc, staff member etc.). The daily supervisor should deposit the data in the repository no longer than 1 month after the grade has been awarded to the student.

For data collected in the context of a PhD study:
The documented data archive of the study should be deposited with the promotor upon handing in the final manuscript for the manuscript committee. The promotor will only sign the approval form of the PhD thesis when the data archive of the study has been handed in. Chapters that have been archived previously upon publication as a journal paper are to be included in the PhD study archive again in a corresponding chapter folder. The promotor deposits the data archive of the thesis in the repository within 1 month after the thesis has been handed in.
