UCSF DataShare (Dryad)

UCSF's institutional research-data repository, delivered on the Dryad platform. 1,306 DataCite DOIs carry a UCSF publisher string. Dryad operates a public REST API, but it is Dryad's contract serving every Dryad customer, so it is recorded here as a tenant relationship rather than as a UCSF API. Verified live 2026-08-19.
