Submission Checklist

Before creating a new JHRDR dataset, you should 

​​☐​ Read the Deposit Policy and make sure that your data can be deposited to JHRDR. 

​​☐​ Ensure that any human participant data you are submitting meets our required conditions: 

1. All data need to be anonymized (consult with Data Services before sending in data)   
2. Consent language clearly tells participants that the data will be shared in an open access repository (see SOM IRB template 5 for example).   
3. If you collected data under a waiver of consent, we will not be able to accept your data.   
4. Datasets from JH Medical systems may require approval by JHM Data Trust to deposit in JHRDR or other data repositories. These and other JHM clinical or medical studies may require a Change in Research review by JHM IRB to update plans for data repository deposits.  

Please review the following JHU policies on data sharing with human participants:  

• General JHU IRB Expectations for Sharing of Individual Level Research Data  

• Data Sharing Tiers for Broad Sharing of Clinically Derived Data  

• Sharing Johns Hopkins Medicine Data 

​​☐​ Assess and select which data and/or code you will deposit in JHRDR. Share data that people can use to reproduce figures and tables in your publication and validate results. You may want to reorganize your data or rename files to help others understand and reuse your data and code. A common way to organize data is by figure numbers.  

​​☐​ Consider depositing analysis scripts to JHRDR together with data. If you have the code in GitHub, you can deposit a copy of it in JHRDR because we provide a DOI for your dataset.  

​​☐​ Provide a README (use our template if you do not have one) to help others understand your dataset and provide instructions on how to use it.
