Establishing a Dataset Collection#
A dataset collection in the 4TU.ResearchData repository is a beneficial way to organize your research when you have multiple related datasets to group together. Collections enhance the discoverability, interoperability, and research potential of your data. However, you should only establish a dataset collection if you have multiple datasets to include. For more details about the data collection policy, click here.
Just like a single dataset receives a DOI, dataset collections also receive their own DOI, providing a convenient way to reference the entire body of related work.
