What do you see as the primary benefit to YOU of archiving your data in a repository?
I have used other data repositories in the past. The Illinois Data Bank was a whole different experience. The data specialist at the repository helped me best shape my data to be usable by other scientist, none of the other services I used was so through and meticulous with the whole submission process. I am glad we have this service available.
