What it does
Dryad provides research-data discovery and a curated publishing and preservation service for datasets.
Use dataset search when you need the data behind a research question rather than only a paper discussing it. The service describes curator review of submitted files and citable publication records. Record the dataset's identifier and version when carrying it into further analysis.
Dryad’s publishing workflow uses ORCID and includes curator review before release. The page states that data publishing charges apply; do not confuse dataset discovery with the conditions for depositing your own files.
