RADAR4Culture is a low-threshold and easy-to use service for sustainable publication and preservation of cultural heritage research data. It offers free publication for any data type and format according to the FAIR principles, independent of the researcher´s institutional affiliation. Through persistent identifiers (DOI) and a guaranteed retention period of at least 25 years, the research data remain available, citable and findable long-term. Currently, the offer is aimed exclusively at researchers at publicly funded research institutions and (art) universities as well as non-commercial academies, galleries, libraries, archives and museums in Germany. No contract is required and no data publication fees are charged. The researchers are responsible for the upload, organisation, annotation and curation of research data as well as the peer-review process (as an optional step) and finally their publication.
RADAR4Culture is based on the well-established data repository RADAR run by FIZ Karlsruhe - Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure (https://www.re3data.org/repository/r3d100012330). It was developed within the framework of FIZ Karlsruhe´s participation in the consortium for research data on tangible and intangible cultural assets NFDI4Culture (funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) - 441958017) within the german Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI). RADAR4Culture serves as a catch-all repository, which complements the already existing portfolio of subject specific repositories for cultural heritage research data and is e.g. ideally suited for cross-disciplinary data or datasets with a multitude of different data formats.
