Why Use RSpace? 

RSpace makes it easy to organize, manage, and share your research projects and outputs in a centralized, secure environment. Use RSpace to record notes, import data, collaborate with peers, and connect with your favorite tools.

Using RSpace allows you to: 

  • Centrally organize, store, and share your protocols, raw data, analysis, and experimental write-ups
  • Take advantage of numerous tool integrations and automations — like DMP Tool, GitHub, protocols.io, and Harvard Dataverse
  • Efficiently create and manage lab groups by sharing documentation, organizing work, reviewing audit trails, and communicating directly within RSpace
  • Access robust documentation, versioning, and permissions features
  • Upload and store Harvard Security Level 3 research data securely or link to data in University storage
  • Prevent data loss with RSpace backups

Any Harvard affiliate can use RSpace for free with the approval of their PI.
