Earth, environmental and space sciences
We encourage authors to obtain an IGSN identifier for material samples. In addition to the example repositories shown here, researchers with Earth and space sciences data may also find it helpful to consult the DataCite repository finder tool, and repository members of the Enabling FAIR Data initiative to find the most suitable location for their data.
