How can I associate raw data stored with another repository to my deposited structures?

The CCDC does not currently store raw data files. However, if you have deposited your raw data with another repository and have a DOI link for it, you can associate this DOI with the relevant files deposited at CCDC. This can be done during the deposition process by adding the DOI at the ‘Enhance Data’ stage.

For structures already deposited at CCDC, you can add the DOI link via the ‘My Structures’ service. Select the Details button for the structure, access the ‘My Structure Details’ view, and click the ‘New Associated Data’ button in the ‘Associated Data’ section to add the DOI.

Once your data is published, the raw data DOIs will be linked from Access Structures and WebCSD. Over time, they will also be embedded into CIFs downloaded from the CCDC and included in the metadata we send to DataCite.
