HydroShare tools and recommended practices for sharing and publishing data and models in support of collaborative reproducible research

HydroShare is a domain specific data and model repository operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc.(CUAHSI) to advance hydrologic science by enabling individual researchers to more easily share products resulting from their research. The community platform supports, not just the scientific publication summarizing a study, but also the data, models and workflow scripts used to create the scientific publication and reproduce the results therein. HydroShare accepts data from anybody, and supports Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles. HydroShare is comprised of two sets of functionality:(1) a repository for users to share and publish data and models, collectively referred to as resources, in a variety of formats, and (2) tools (web apps) that can act on content in HydroShare and support web based access to compute capability.
