Adding Files and Links

You may submit as many files as you'd like with a single record, up to 5 gigabytes (GB) each. We accept all file types, except for executable files. We encourage you to organize file submissions in the way that would be most useful for using the data, including using separate files or zipped files as appropriate.

If your file is larger than 5 GB, you could host your data elsewhere and link to it through the Data Catalog and still register it with Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) if it is federally funded. You can also break your file into smaller files that are under 5 GB each and upload them each separately in the same dataset record. If you would like to host a file larger than 5 GB on the Data Catalog, please contact us to discuss this process.

To link to your data instead of uploading the file here, click the "Add Link" button. The link you submit must be a permanent URL (i.e., a URL that leads directly to a resource and does not pass through a search page or require more than one click to navigate to the data).
