Dryad’s membership program makes it easy and affordable for institutions and publishers to ensure their research data is curated, published, and preserved by providing robust infrastructure, services, and expertise.

As new member representative Nathan Gerth of the University of Nevada, Reno Libraries put it, “Partnering with Dryad helped us meet an acute need expressed by the research faculty on campus. We appreciated the engaged nature of the Dryad team and the smooth onboarding process. The fact that the team had facilitated several training sessions within weeks of going live speaks strongly to its commitment to make the service a success.”
