Data Search

The resources below will help to start search for data:

Google Dataset Search
Find datasets stored across the Web through a simple keyword search.
Mendeley Data
Search and cite millions datasets, software, images and other files from domain-specific and cross-domain repositories 4TU, Dryade, ICPSR, Zenodo and more.
Data One
Open Science initiative that has lots of information about making your data open access.
FAIRsharing
An informative and educational resource that describes and interlinks community-driven standards, databases, repositories and data policies covering natural sciences (for example, biomedical, chemistry, astronomy, agriculture, earth sciences and life sciences), engineering, and humanities and social sciences.
Figshare
Repository where users can make all of their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner
Dryade Digital Repository
Curated resource that makes the data underlying scientific publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Dryad provides a general-purpose home for a wide diversity of datatypes.
Re3dataorg
Global registry of research data repositories that covers research data repositories from different academic disciplines
Journal of Nucleic Acids Research
Annual overview of biological databases including bioinformatics, protein structure, RNA, genetic sequences, cancer, and drugs.
DataMed
Prototype biomedical data search engine. Its goal is to discover data sets across data repositories or data aggregators.
Biomedical Sciences Toolkit
- Portals include NCBI, EBI-EMBL, NIH Data Sharing repositories, and more.

Search hint

You may search in databases like Science Direct, PubMed or other from A-Z list. In the advanced search or having results apply limiter Dataset if it is there.

Managing Your Data

The biomedical engineers collect, reuse or generate numerous amounts of data - tissue samples, assays, spectroscopy, laboratory notes etc.

The guide below contains basic information to get started to manage, find, share, understand ethics, create, and cite data.

Laboratory Notebooks

Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN) serve for recording and long term storing of procedures, data, and calculations, results of the experiments. Having the interface much like a paper lab notebook, these tools also perform data analysis and visualization, search, produce templates, allow collaborative sharing and teamwork.

eLabFTW
free and open source electronic lab notebook
SciNote
Has free and other plans suitable for individual use and for teams.
ResearchSpace
Free to use with unlimited storage.
Comparison Grid
The comparison matrix of ELN developed in te Harvard University may help you to find the best solution:

Analysing Data
