Our mission<\/p>\n<\/div>

Driving the Future of
\nOpen Science in Latvia<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

DataverseLV\u00a0is the national, multidisciplinary research data repository in Latvia,\u00a0established\u00a0under the Latvian Open Science Strategy 2021-2027 to support Latvia’s research ecosystem. Its mission is to provide a secure, sustainable, and user-friendly platform for the storage, management, long-term preservation, and responsible sharing of research data.<\/p>\n

The repository is committed to long-term sustainability through continuous service development, community engagement, and alignment with international best practices and frameworks such as the FAIR Guiding Principles, TRUST Principles for digital\u00a0repositories, and CARE\u00a0Principles where\u00a0applicable.<\/p>\n<\/div>

FAIR Principles<\/h4>\n<\/div>

DataverseLV implements FAIR principles by automatically assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and strictly enforcing standardized metadata (DataCite, Dublin Core) to guarantee findability. We support interoperability through OAI-PMH harvesting and preferred open file formats, while ensuring accessibility and reuse via granular access controls, mandatory licensing selection, and clear versioning for every dataset.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

DataverseLV\u00a0supports researchers and scientific institutions in Latvia in implementing Open Science practices and adhering to the FAIR Guiding Principles for research data. Through transparent governance, adherence to legal and ethical standards, and commitment to high-quality metadata and documentation,\u00a0DataverseLV\u00a0promotes openness, responsible research practices, and collaboration, thereby contributing to scientific advancement and innovation in Latvia and internationally.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CARE Principles<\/h4>\n<\/div>

DataverseLV applies CARE principles by ensuring data sovereignty through local hosting and recognizing the authority of Latvian researchers to control access conditions. We uphold ethical responsibility by mandating Research Ethics Committee approvals for sensitive data and ensuring collective benefit by preserving the provenance and cultural context of national research assets for future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

TRUST Principles<\/h4>\n<\/div>

DataverseLV operationalizes the\u00a0TRUST\u00a0principles by ensuring\u00a0Transparency\u00a0through publicly accessible service policies and preservation strategies. We demonstrate\u00a0Responsibility\u00a0and\u00a0Sustainability\u00a0via a secured national funding model and centralized curation governance that guarantees long-term stewardship. Our\u00a0User-focused\u00a0services evolve through active data stewardship and continuous community engagement, while our\u00a0Technology\u00a0leverages the secure, critical infrastructure of LVRTC to ensure the integrity and resilience of Latvian research data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Scope<\/p>\n<\/div>

A Repository for the Entire
\nNational Scientific Community<\/p>\n<\/div>

DataverseLV\u00a0is the national research data repository for Latvia, supporting all higher education institutions, research organizations, and publicly funded research projects across all scientific disciplines. The repository serves a broad designated community consisting of researchers and Data Stewards affiliated with Latvian scientific institutions, as well as potential data users \u2013 other researchers, students, policymakers, and the wider public.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Data curation & quality<\/p>\n<\/div>

Data is only useful if it is well-
\ndocumented and reusable.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We believe that data is only useful if it is well-documented and reusable. At\u00a0DataverseLV, ensuring high-quality data is a collaborative process between researchers and our Data Stewards, who\u00a0maintain\u00a0the repository’s data integrity and preservation standards<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Support & Consultation<\/p>\n<\/div>

Researchers are encouraged to consult with us early. We provide user guides and direct consultations to help improve datasets either before or during the deposit process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Data Stewards Review<\/p>\n<\/div>

Every dataset is carefully reviewed by a Data Steward before publication. Stewards use a\u00a0Data Quality Checklist<\/a>\u00a0to verify technical, legal, and metadata compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Standardized Workflow<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our curation follows a\u00a0standardized workflow<\/a>\u00a0to ensure every dataset meets the same\u00a0high standards. We only accept data that holds long-term value and is in a preservation-ready format.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
