Dryad welcomes Maria Guerreiro as Head of Partnership Development

Dryad welcomes new institutions and publishers
Our membership program proudly serves over 75 institutions and publishers who are using Dryad to sponsor data publication on behalf of their affiliated researchers.
We are thrilled to welcome four new organizations, who have adopted Dryad to provide an easy and seamless process for the curation, publishing, and preservation of their research data.
For journals: Benefits of our Private for Peer Review mode
Dozens of journals take advantage of our Private for Peer Review function to ensure supporting data is accessible through submission and peer review. With this functionality, at the point of submission, authors can choose to keep the data package hidden from public view, but accessible to reviewers, until a final decision on the related manuscript is rendered by the journal office. Benefits include:
- Generation of a randomized sharing link, appropriate and ideal for double-blind peer review.
- Inclusion of supplemental content via our integration with Zenodo.
- Automatic reservation of a DOI before publication.
- Control over the timing of dataset publication.
