Guides @ LU: Lingnan Data Repository: Sharing Unpublished Datasets Privately visibility_off

Sometimes, researchers may be asked to submit their research data for review as part of the peer-review process or require a platform to work with collaborators on a dataset. In these cases, they can share their working data privately with their reviewers or a small group of researchers.

You can privately share your dataset with external reviewers for reviewing purposes by providing them with a private URL:

You can share the private URL with individuals without Lingnan Data Repository accounts (e.g., reviewers, funders) to grant them access to view your unpublished dataset. If you wish to grant others the right to edit your dataset, please refer to the "Working with Collaborators" section.

Please be aware that the Private URL will be disabled after your dataset has been published.

After creating a dataset, you can grant permissions to your collaborators, allowing them to manage the dataset alongside you:

On the dataset page, select "Edit Dataset" > "Permissions"
Click , then enter the name(s) of your collaborators
- Please ensure that your collaborators have a Lingnan Data Repository account in order to grant them access. If you are working with collaborators who are not affiliated with Lingnan, please refer to the FAQ section for further guidance.
You can assign different roles to your collaborators, such as:
- Contributor: can edit the dataset
- Curator: can edit the dataset and manage dataset permissions
- Member: can view the dataset
Click "Save Changes" to save your edits
