I submitted a publication to an IEEE journal and on the submission site, it was recommended to use the IEEE DataPort https://ieee-dataport.org to make the (biomedical) research data available.
Does anyone have experience with this service?
Unfortunately, my user experience is currently pretty poor. I have a 2 GB zipped folder and tried to upload it (this weekend and last weekend), but it did not work; the upload wait-bar was stuck for several hours till I closed the webpage. Then, I went over to upload single recordings from my dataset (one-by-one) each with about 100 MB and I managed to upload a few recordings, then the page was not accepting new uploads even though it is written that one can store up to 2 TB.
Did anyone else experience this?
I doubt that the problem is my internet connection as uploading data to remote file servers, e.g., Dropbox or Google Cloud is no problem and is pretty fast.
Furthermore, what do you think about the business model? (at some point it will cease to be free and users will have to pay to access and upload datasets).
What do you think about the visibility of the IEEE DataPort?
Lastly, how do you make your research data available to fellow researchers? In the field of critical care data, there is, e.g., Physionet https://physionet.org but for my data, I don't think it would be a perfect match.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. After contacting the support of IEEE DataPort I ended up uploading the files to Dropbox and gave the support guy the link and he uploaded from there the data to DataPort. So at the end it worked out.
