Coscine is a generic research data management platform that provides universities and research institutions with an infrastructure for managing, storing, and archiving digital research data in a discipline- and format-independent manner, in accordance with the FAIR principles. Coscine promotes high-quality research by supporting the FAIR principles during the active project phase through the implementation of the FAIR Digital Object concept. Coscine is developed by the IT Center of the RWTH, operations and support were consistently funded through Coscine.nrw and it is operated exclusively on servers in Germany. Four modules are available for user organizations to choose from, in order to optimally meet institutional needs, existing storage resources, and the desired level of integration. Module 1 covers the use of Coscine, Module 2 provides access to FDM:Storage.nrw, and Module 3 covers the use of the Coscine-JARDS application platform. Module 4 allows for the integration of individual storage resources. Coscine is, among other things, part of the DH.NRW service portfolio (Coscine.nrw), funded by the NFDI4ING and NFDI-MatWerk consortia, and a member of the EOSC FIDELIS network for trustworthy digital repositories. Coscine is being further developed based on, among other things, the requirements of RWTH’s Excellence Strategy, Coscine.nrw, and the participating NFDI consortia.
