Ready to Deposit Your Data?
If you are affiliated with Cornell, you can request a data deposit by filling out the CCSS Data Deposit Form and following the steps below.
Data Deposit Form
Data Deposit Form Instructions:
- Fill out all required fields, as many optional fields as possible and submit.
- CCSS archival staff will contact you with any questions/requests for additional information.
- When we have determined the data meets the archive requirements in the CCSS Collection Policy, a Cornell Box folder will be set up for you to upload your data and documentation files and provide you with the location.
- Upload your materials to the Box folder.
- Once you feel it is ready to publish, CCSS will create a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which will serve as a permanent link to your dataset. Your data and documentation files will NOT be accessible to or discoverable by others until we have your OK to publish.
NOTE: At the point your data project is published, you cannot make any changes directly. You will request CCSS to upload an updated version you provide of the project data or metadata. Any changes to data files will also require an update to the version ID. Contact CCSS in this event.
