# Reusing
It is not because we can generate massive amounts of data that we always need to do so. Creating data with public funding carries the responsibility to treat those data well and (if potentially useful) make them available for reuse by others, and the circle is only complete if such data is actually reused.

Before you decide to embark on a new study, it is nowadays good practice to check all options to reuse already existing data, either data collected or generated by yourself in an earlier project, or data from other research groups or government bodies. Existing data can be found by searching in different data repositories: discipline-specific, institutional as well as general.

Existing data can be found by searching in different data repositories: discipline-specific, institutional as well as general-purpose.

## Data catalogues
Apart from searching directly in repositories where life science data typically is shared (see [the sharing phase](/data-life-cycle/share/#recommended-discipline-specific-repositories)), there are data catalogues where you can search and discover published data. Note that datasets might have been collected for completely different purposes and still serve your goals.

# Sharing
In the era of [FAIR](/topics/fair-principles) (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and [Open science](https://www.vr.se/english/mandates/open-science/open-access-to-research-data.html), datasets should be made available to the public. Whenever possible, discipline-specific repositories (with or without controlled access) should be used in order to increase the FAIRness of your research outputs. If no such repository is available, there are general purpose repositories.

General data repositories accept datasets regardless of discipline or institution. These repositories support a wide variety of file types and are particularly useful where a discipline-specific repository does not exist.

## General data repositories
A general data repository is an appropriate choice only if the data does not need to be published in a controlled-access repository, a discipline specific repository does not exist for the discipline and if there are no institutional repositories available. See below a selection of genrenal data repositories.
## General-purpose data repositories
A general-purpose data repository is an appropriate choice only if the data does not need to be published in a controlled-access repository, a discipline-specific repository does not exist for the discipline and if there are no institutional repositories available. See below a selection of general-purpose data repositories.
