Expert panel: How to design a successful research repository

Lots of effort in research is lost after it’s published. The problem is not the value of the insights but that the findings are fragmented across wikis, research repositories, and random folders in the cloud. That's why you sometimes need an expert’s touch to know what to do with your repository.

Our expert panel shared how they designed and managed research repositories that have succeeded at scale. Check out the recording below to hear what these experts had to share:
