Get Started Sharing Your Research

Mason Archival Repository Service (MARS) preserves and shares data of enduring value produced by Mason faculty, staff, and students. Make your research more discoverable by the research community, and satisfy data sharing requirements. Home of Mason's Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs), as well as faculty research publications and data files, MARS provides access to the intellectual work of the Mason community. MARS is hosted and maintained by Mason Libraries' Mason Publishing Group and Data & Digital Scholarship Services.

MARS comprises two institutional repository options:

MARS
Use this for depositing articles, books, theses and dissertations, presentations, and more.

George Mason University Dataverse data repository.
Use this for depositing final research data such as tabular data (SPSS, Stata, R, Excel, CSV), GIS files, code, or similar.

Open Science Framework (OSF) for Institutions
Through the University Libraries sponsored OSF for Institutions membership, you can associate any publicly shared data with George Mason. You also have the convenience of using single sign on to log in with your Mason username and password. OSF is part of NIH's Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), an NIH approved generalist repository for sharing NIH funded research output.

In addition, the Libraries have a membership with the Qualitative Data Repository (QDR).
