Dataverse: Guide for Researchers: Getting Started

Repository Services

All research team members who are to interact with the content deposited in UM Dataverse must have an account. The Admin to the Dataverse (project) will then assign each member to a role so that each member can access the content respective to their assignment.

Create an Account

  1. Go to the UM Dataverse home page in Borealis
  2. Click Log In, where you will see an option to Sign Up.

  1. Fill in all required fields

If you are to be an Admin to a Dataverse (project), contact the RSDS unit to have a Dataverse project space created. Be prepared to provide the following information:

  • The name and identifier you would like for your dataverse

    • The identifier is an abbreviation that becomes part of the URL for your dataverse. For example, the identifier for the UM Librarians Knowledge Synthesis Repository is “UML_KS_Repository”, which makes https://borealisdata.ca/dataverse/UML_KS_Repository the URL for that dataverse.

  • An estimate of the space (in GB or TB) that will be required for your dataverse.

  • Information about your REB application(s), if relevant.
