RepOD Repository Awarded the CoreTrustSeal Certification
The Open Data Repository RepOD has been awarded the CoreTrustSeal certification. This certificate confirms the high quality of the service, which has been supporting Polish researchers for the past ten years. RepOD is one of the services offered by the Open Science Platform at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw (ICM UW).
The status of a Trustworthy Digital Repository is granted to repositories that successfully pass an evaluation process coordinated by the CoreTrustSeal Standards and Certification Board. CoreTrustSeal is an international non-governmental organization promoting reliable research data infrastructures. As part of the certification, a repository is assessed for compliance with sixteen requirements, covering areas such as security standards and service interoperability.

→ The repository allows for open and free sharing of all types of research data, in accordance with FAIR principles.
→ Depositors can meet the requirements of funding bodies, such as the National Science Centre or the European Commission, which recommend using trusted, certified repositories.
→ The service enables compliance with open access policies of academic institutions and scientific journals.
The RepOD research data repository is operated by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw and is available at: https://repod.icm.edu.pl/. From the begining, RepOD has functioned as a free and openly accessible platform. It is available to both individual researchers and institutions interested in managing their own collections.
