Abstract: Introduction: Research data is a representation of raw statistical or visual data collected from sources considered vital during a scientific investigation. In the medical sciences, there is enormous data generated from observations, experiments, and clinical investigations. Re3data.org is a global registry of research data, a site supported by DataOne. Re3data.org was originally founded in 2012 and funded by the DFG German Research Foundation, and currently features an international partnership. Discussion: re3data.org currently indexes over 2000 repositories, representing all subjects. In medicine there are 568 listed repositories, divided into 48 sub-categories. A small number of registered repositories are noted as closed, and there are also subjects with no currently listed data repositories. Conclusion: Availability and sharing of research data can facilitate disaster preparedness, model disease transmission, track health outcomes and provide reusable data for new emerging research. Re3data.org provides visibility for existing and emerging open datasets available in a variety of eScience repositories.
