A data-centric approach to Life Science
Life science research is increasingly becoming not only technology-driven, but also data-driven. SciLifeLab coordinates and supports activities throughout the life cycle of data, from project planning, data production, data analysis, data sharing, to publishing and reuse of data, where researchers are dependent on advanced data analysis and e-infrastructures.
Our focus is on data arising from the use of SciLifeLab infrastructure platforms, both to promote research on adding value to data, research deriving biological knowledge from data, and infrastructure making data findable and available. At SciLifeLab, we see data as one of the most valuable and long-lasting products of our operations and strive to make our data FAIR, handled according to open science standards and that its long- term value to the scientific community is maximized.

Services for IT and data management
The SciLifeLab Data Centre provides the SciLifeLab platforms with services for IT and data management. We also work to facilitate the communication between SciLifeLab platforms, their users, and the research community, and develop databases and tools. The purpose is to maximize the scientific impact of SciLifeLab generated data and provide a good helpful IT environment for the SciLifeLab platforms and their users.
SUPPORTING CALL-FUNDED RESEARCH
The Swedish COVID-19 data portal
The SciLifeLab Data Centre maintains the Swedish national COVID-19 data portal. The aim of the portal is to provide information, guidelines, tools and services to support researchers in utilising Swedish and European infrastructures for data sharing.
SHARE AND EXPLORE DATA
SciLifeLab Data Repository
The SciLifeLab Data Repository, powered by Figshare, is a repository for publishing any kind of research-related data, e.g. documents, figures, or presentations. Figshare is an open data repository used by researchers in numerous disciplines. Through an agreement with Figshare, SciLifeLab offers researchers and units the opportunity to upload and publish their research data through a dedicated portal.
Publications
The Data Centre built and maintains a database of research assisted by SciLifeLab units. Below you can see the total number of research publications assisted by SciLifeLab per year. See the database for specific publications and break-down per unit. Each unit has the responsibility to report the publications.
How can SciLifeLab help you to publish your human data?
If you are a researcher at a Swedish academic institution working in SciLifeLab’s areas of activity, you can get help from the SciLifeLab Data Management support team with publishing your human data and managing access requests.
