You can find scientific research data wherever it's been shared.  In addition to the traditional publication of data as part of a peer-reviewed research article, scientific research data may be:

• Published on a journal website as "supplemental data" (tables or figures) accompanying, but not embedded in, a research article.
  • Examples: Journal of Immunology, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Nature Medicine.
• Published in a new type of journal focused on describing and sharing complete data sets and protocols.
  • Examples: Dataset Papers in Biology and BMC Research Notes.
• Deposited in an institutional repository or in a discipline-specific repository.  Deposits may be voluntary or required by a journal or funding agency.
  • Examples: Gene Expression Omnibus, Protein Data Bank, and the Electron Microscopy Data Bank.
• Submitted to a curated discipline-specific resource that reviews, collates, and integrates data from multiple sources.
  • Examples: Mouse Phenome Database, Database of Genomics Variants, and NCBI's Gene database.
• Published by federal statistics agencies and government research groups.
  • Example: the ResearchDataGov web portal.
