RSpace serves as a front-end to enable capture, association, and tracking of data, metadata and persistent identifiers (PIDs) stored both within RSpace, and within the ecosystem of external resources and institutional file systems with which it connects.
RSpace is a rich content management system that includes a fully featured electronic lab notebook deeply integrated with a modern, mobile-first sample management system, and enables flexible recording of sample and experimental data.
Through connectivity with a wide range of research resources, RSpace acts as a value-adding bridge between the active research phase and the planning, archiving, and storage phases of the research lifecycle, facilitating streamlined passage of data and metadata throughout the lifecycle, enhancing FAIRness.

RSpace is a versatile open-source platform designed for seamless deployment in cloud or on-premise environments. It also easily integrates within any existing research infrastructure.
Leveraging over two decades of collective experience and expertise in institutional research data management and the RSpace platform, the Research Space team supports research organizations, research commons, and cloud providers in delivering high quality infrastructure.
We achieve this through RSpace Solutions - a suite of enterprise-grade services tailored to help implement, adopt, and maintain a modern, integrated, and continuously evolving FAIR research data ecosystem.
RSpace SolutionsLearn more about deployment
For many years, RSpace has been active in exploring interoperability between research tools to enable FAIR data, developing expertise in our role and potential within a research commons infrastructure.
This has naturally led to involvement with the Global Open Research Commons (GORC) IG and WG, and the Mapping the Landscape of Digital Research Tools WG, which developed the MaLDReTH map of the Digital Tools Landscape.
We have also been a primary contributor to the development of REASON, the proposed Research Commons for Norway, as well as two similar initiatives: Canada's Alliance Cloud Connect, and the New England Research Cloud.
Our extensive experience in understanding the complexity and goals of research commons make us the ideal partner in enabling a successful shared infrastructure.
“Now, the users savor ELN functions like full-text search, revision control, working together on documents, linking files and the possibility to share the ELN across the team and access it from home.”
