Redivis for open science

Redivis is a platform for data distribution and analysis that prioritizes open access and FAIR data practices. We believe that supporting open science principles drives better research outcomes, collaboration, and scientific impact.

Redivis is creating tools not just for data distribution and analysis, but also to help drive forward standards for transparent research that is accessible to all.

Reproducibility

Every Redivis dataset has a versioned history that is automatically generated while the data owner uploads and edits data contents. This history is fully exposed to end users and the dataset can be accessed at any version. Citations are generated for every version of a dataset which include the ORCID iDs for all creators. Data owners can opt to create Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for all versions of their dataset, which is available at a persistent URL along with the required metadata describing the content at that point in time.

As users analyze data in a Redivis workflow each step they take is recorded in a visual tree that can be navigated sequentially. Every step has a full history which can be viewed at any point in time.

Availability

Datasets in any format can be deposited into Redivis and made available immediately to the world via open access licenses at no cost to the end user.

All Redivis datasets and analysis workflows are available to anyone on the internet without a Redivis account unless the owner decides to add restrictions. In this case someone wishing to view the work would need to create a free Redivis account to request access from the owner.

Longevity

The stable technical infrastructure and dedicated Redivis team is funded by a coalition of academic institutions paying license fees for large scale data distribution. This diverse group of funders ensures the long-term availability of the datasets.
