Pre-submission checklist

If you wish to submit your data to FEGA Sweden, there are several things you can prepare before you submit a submission request and start working with the submission itself. Use the checklist below to make sure that you have what you need before moving forward. If you have any questions, please write to the FEGA Sweden Helpdesk.

• Consider which data you would like to share via FEGA Sweden. The submission process will be less complicated if you know which files to include in your submission.
• Determine if FEGA Sweden is the right archive for your data.
• Check if your organisation is onboarded (it is still fine to submit a submission request even if it is not yet onboarded).
• Find out what is needed in order to comply with GDPR.
• Confirm that your ethics documentation is complete and accessible.
• Prepare your data files so that they are ready to be submitted.
• Consider if your files should be submitted as one or multiple datasets.
• Collect and prepare the metadata.
