It is the place to store, describe, share, publish and discover research data, publications and documentation from catalysis science. Typical content includes experimental data on topics such as nanoparticles, propane dehydrogenation and syngas, as well as source code and text documents. Repo4Cat is a disciplinary repository, with English as its working language, and is listed under Chemistry and Engineering Sciences in re3data. + +The repository went live in 2024 as the cornerstone of the NFDI4Cat infrastructure, which also includes a Meta Portal for finding metadata across repositories and shared vocabularies and ontologies. The software was chosen in a structured evaluation of candidate repository systems, based on requirements gathered from the project community; the evaluation results are published on [Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7805683). Experience from requirements collection, software comparison, installation, operation and user support has also been summarised in a [paper](https://doi.org/10.1109/IDAACS68557.2025.11322400). + +## Technology and features + +Repo4Cat runs on [Dataverse](https://dataverse.org), an open-source repository platform.
