A long-term data sharing and preservation plan will be used to store and make the data publicly accessible beyond the life of the project. The data will be deposited into the Texas State University Dataverse Repository. This institutional data repository is hosted by the Texas Digital Library and managed by the Texas State University Libraries. The TXST Dataverse Repository is an open-access platform for the dissemination and archiving of university research data. By default, data is shared with a CC0 public domain dedication. To enable reuse and the potential for interoperability with other data sets, the data will come with the necessary documentation, metadata, and code. The repository provides bit-level preservation and ensures ongoing access to research data, including associated metadata and documentation, for a minimum period of ten years after it is deposited. All published datasets and versions are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for citations. Metadata records will be created to describe each of the project’s digital resources. Metadata for the project data will provide information on the subject, provenance, authorship, methods, and post-processing to ensure reusability.
