Mendeley Data

Mendeley was launched in 2008 in London by students, as a scientific social network to manage and share publications. Mendeley Data - the name of this new service - is at the same time a data repository and a search engine to find data in other repositories. Mendeley Data is about storing, sharing, finding and following research data, and this is not restricted to a single repository but encompasses more than 2000 data repositories. The main functionalities are the finding, enriching, the storing, the publishing and sharing, and the long-term preservation of datasets, together with a search engine with references from more than 25 million datasets and with specific, value added tools for institutions and for data management and monitoring. Researchers working in a sensitive domain, if they need to store their data but do not want to show that they are working on these data, can do it on Mendeley Data.
