Sharing Data and Research Products in the HydroShare Repository to Enhance Transparency and Reproducibility of Scientific Research

HydroShare is a web-based repository and hydrologic information system operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) that enables users to share, collaborate around, and publish data, models, code, and applications associated with water related research. This seminar will focus on the capabilities of the HydroShare repository and functionality related to submitting, sharing, and publishing data and research products. It will cover HydroShare’s resource data model, describing HydroShare resources with metadata, and some best practices for depositing data and research products in HydroShare. It will also cover how information technology and best practices can enhance the transparency, reproducibility, and trust in the findings of water-related research by making hydrologic information more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), and through linked computational systems simplifying the workflows needed for hydrologic modeling and analysis.

This presentation was delivered on December 7, 2021 at the USAID Center for Excellence for Water at Alexandria University Webinar Series.
