We are excited to announce that ESS-DIVE is now a certified trustworthy data repository by CoreTrustSeal (CTS). The CTS certification requirements reflect the key characteristics of trustworthy repositories, such as data integrity and preservation, data quality, discovery and reuse, and security.
As part of the CTS certification application process, ESS-DIVE performed a self-evaluation following the core characteristics and requirements outlined by the CTS. Following the self-evaluation, our CTS application was reviewed by community peers from other CTS certified repositories.
As a CTS certified data repository, ESS-DIVE will continue to support and advocate for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, data publication best practices, data discovery and access, and data integration.
