DEPOSITING RESEARCH DATA IN RUL
Researchers and PhD students who do not speak Slovenian can log in to RUL at https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/prijava.php?lang=eng using their UL Digital Identity.
To deposit research data in RUL, you will need the following:
- the title of the research data set in Slovenian and English,
- the subtitle: research data underlying the doctoral dissertation / research data underlying the article,
- the names of the researchers who created or collected the data,
- information on the UL member where the research data were created or collected,
- an abstract for the research data set in Slovenian and English,
- keywords in Slovenian and English,
- the year of creation or collection of the research data,
- typology: 2.20,
- the record in RUL will specify the CC BY licence, as required for Horizon Europe projects and under the Slovenian decree on open science,
- information on the funders and projects under which the research data were created or collected,
- a README file,
- files containing the research data: the header row of tables (in XLSX format) should be named in a way that is clearly understandable to experts in the field.
In the Moodle course Introduction to Managing Research Data According to the Principles of Open Science, you can find more information. Log in using your UL Digital Identity: click AAI Login and select University of Ljubljana.
From the Moodle course regarding the README file:
The README file is a text file that contains information about one or more digital objects and is typically distributed together with them. It is primarily intended for human users (Terminological dictionary of open science ).
The README file is a basic descriptive document that provides the following information:
- what the research data represent,
- how they were created,
- how they can be correctly interpreted and used,
- which limitations and rights apply,
- how to reproduce or cite the data.
It is recommended to create the file in .txt format, which can be opened by any file viewer.
Recommended structure of a README file:
- Basic information about the research data:
- title of the research data,
- brief description (what the research data represent),
- research purpose or context,
- authors or research team,
- date of data collection or creation,
- links to the project or related publications.
- Description of data content:
- list of all folders and files,
- brief description of each file (e.g. .csv, .xlsx, .fasta, .tiff),

- information on measurement units, encoding, and categories.
- Methodology of data collection, creation, and processing:
- description of data collection or creation (instruments, protocols, sources),
- temporal and spatial coverage,
- measurement conditions or experimental factors,
- data processing (filtering, normalisation, transformations).
