About NAKALA

NAKALA is a data repository that aims to preserve and disseminate data produced by French research projects in the Humanities and Social Sciences, in compliance with the FAIR principles (see https://documentation.huma-num.fr/nakala-faq/). NAKALA is primarily intended for research projects carried out by institutions affiliated with the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

NAKALA is a service offered by the IR* Huma-Num, a research infrastructure dedicated to the digital humanities (https://www.huma-num.fr). Our main mission is to provide tools for processing the digital data produced by French research projects in the Humanities and Social Sciences (Cf https://www.inshs.cnrs.fr/en/huma-num and https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2022-03/feuille-de-route-nationale-des-infrastructures-de-recherche---2021-v2--17318.pdf - Page 130).

NAKALA is listed as the national data repository for SHS research data (Cf https://cat.opidor.fr/index.php/Nakala) and is part of the "Recherche Data Gouv" national data repository ecosystem (https://recherche.data.gouv.fr/fr/page/a-propos-de-recherche-data-gouv) as a reference data repository for the Humanities and Social Sciences https://recherche.data.gouv.fr/fr/page/centres-de-reference-thematiques-expertises-par-domaine-scientifique).
