Full spectrum support from planning to publication

Our services

Expert help with Data Management Planning

PURR offers several layers of assistance with data management planning including step-by-step guidance, boilerplate text for your proposal, sample plans, and individual consultations.

Storage for all of your projects

PURR measures storage by the project not the user, so you always have room for something new. All projects start with 100GB of storage. Is your project grant funded? Let us know and we’ll bump that up to 1 TB at no cost to you.

Get credit for your data

Make it easy for researchers to find and cite your data by publishing with PURR. Each dataset gets a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) that makes it easier for people to cite your data and give you credit. PURR even helps keep track of when your dataset gets cited.

Measuring Impact

PURR’s most re-used dataset has been cited 99 times since it was published in 2015, including more than 50 articles in 25 journals with an average Journal Impact Factor of 3.185.
