Below is a selection of other guidance on data-sharing for specific disciplines or types of data. 

Earth and Environmental Sciences

DDI is a free standard that can document and manage different stages in the research data lifecycle, such as conceptualization, collection, processing, distribution, discovery, and archiving.
