On August 8, 2024, Purdue University Research Repository (PURR) became an approved CoreTrustSeal data repository.
CoreTrustSeal approval reflects PURR’s commitment to being a high-quality, trustworthy, and reliable data repository for Purdue researchers and their collaborators. Obtaining this approval is a significant milestone as it provides additional, formal validation of PURR’s compliance with federal funding agencies’ required data repository characteristics. It will be beneficial to the over 5,500 registered PURR users and Purdue researchers submitting data management plans with grant proposals who plan to use PURR for data sharing and preservation.
The certification process involved a thorough written report and subsequent review of PURR’s procedures and documentation by external independent reviewers. To provide transparency, all documentation is available for public consumption.
This approval would not have been possible without efforts from the PURR team—Reid Boehm, research data systems manager; Standa Pejša, data curator and project lead; Jerry Kuang, senior software developer; and Kelly Burns, research data management specialist.
