re3data_search_repositories tool specification

Tool Information:

  • Name: re3data_search_repositories

  • Type: Re3DataTool

  • Description: Search re3data.org for research data repositories worldwide. re3data is a global registry of 3,000+ research data repositories covering all academic disciplines. Search by keyword to find repositories that host datasets for a specific research topic, data type, or discipline. Returns repository names, IDs, and DOIs. Use re3data_get_repository with the returned ID for detailed metadata including subjects, access conditions, content types, and institutional affiliations. Useful for finding where to deposit research data, discovering domain-specific data repositories, or identifying repositories hosting longitudinal, clinical, or cohort study data.

Parameters:

  • query (string) (required) Search keyword(s) to find repositories (e.g., ‘nutrition longitudinal’, ‘genomics’, ‘climate data’, ‘medical imaging’). Searches across repository names, descriptions, subjects, and keywords.

  • subjects ([‘string’, ‘null’]) (optional) Optional subject filter to narrow results (e.g., ‘medicine’, ‘biology’, ‘chemistry’, ‘social sciences’). Applied as client-side filter on repository names.

  • countries ([‘string’, ‘null’]) (optional) Optional country filter using ISO 3166 country code (e.g., ‘USA’, ‘GBR’, ‘DEU’). Note: requires fetching detail for each result so use sparingly.
