The Data Archive is suitable for research data which is no longer required for active use. Examples of data that is suitable for archiving includes:

• Data that belongs to a completed project needs to be stored for reference and must comply with the funding agencies guidelines.
• Data that may be considered difficult to reproduce (raw data).
• Reference data that will be used multiple times.
• Data from computations and final output.
• Research data you need to remove from your local data stores in order to free up space for current research.

Do not upload documentation;

• Not directly related to UNSW research; including personal documents and photos, music, or personal emails.
• Teaching and administrative materials.
• Back-ups of portable or networked computers.
