Where's the data? Working with environmental or climate data? The archive at CEDA, the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis, specialises in Earth, atmospheric, and environmental datasets. If your data tracks the planet, give it a stable home. 🌍 archive.ceda.ac.uk #LoveData26 #KCL

Principly, we accept data from or supporting Natural Environment Research Council funded science. We do take data from other sources if it fits our mission

Live, laugh, love! For Love Data Week, we are spotlighting a research project which maps the science of comedy. Dr Vanessa Pope and colleagues used a new computational method to analyse timing and structure in live stand-up comedy. Read more here: shorturl.at/HfHPB #LoveData26 #KCL

Mapping comedic timing, ta-da!
Researchers propose a computational method to reveal the hidden timing structure of live performance. Vanessa C. Pope and colleagues present a framework, called Topology Analysis of Matching Sequences...

How healthy is your relationship with your data? For #LoveData26, we’re highlighting red flags and green flags — common risks and good practices — to help make research data more findable, accessible, secure, and reusable. #KCL
The background is grey with yellow rays shining from the lower centre of the image. At the top there is a blue-grey banner with the title: 'Do you have a healthy relationship with your data? In the top right corner is a white square which says 'Love Data Week February 9-13, 2026'

In the main body of the image is 4 boxes; 2 with red flags, 2 with green flags. 
The first red flag says: Beginning your research project with no roadmap for data management 
 “We’ll sort the data out later”.

The corresponding green flag says: A clear Data Management Plan which conforms to funder requirements and is regularly reviewed.

The second red flag says: Live data is saved on personal laptops, email, USB sticks, or insecure cloud platforms.

The corresponding green flag says: Live data is saved in approved, secure systems such as 
SharePoint or OneDrive.

In the main body of the image is 4 boxes; 2 with red flags, 2 with green flags. 
The first red flag says: Decisions about data filenames and folder structure are based on convenience. 

The corresponding green flag says: Filenames and folder structure are systematic and agreed with colleagues.

The second red flag says: Data is stored and archived on its own, without information describing what it is or how it was collected. 

The corresponding green flag says: There is clear documentation describing the data (e.g. README files, variable labels).

In the main body of the image is 4 boxes; 2 with red flags, 2 with green flags. 
The first red flag says: Live data is accessible to anyone during the project. 

The corresponding green flag says: Access controls are in place, giving specific people specific levels of access. 

The second red flag says: Consent forms are either too vague or too restrictive about future re-use of data.

The corresponding green flag says: Consent forms detail where data will be stored and archived, and who will be able to access them.

In the main body of the image is 4 boxes; 2 with red flags, 2 with green flags. 
The first red flag says: There is one copy of the data used throughout the project. 

The corresponding green flag says: Regular backups are made during the research project and are stored securely. 

The second red flag says: Data is left alone when the research is complete. 

The corresponding green flag says: Data is archived in a repository and shared - “As open as possible, 
as closed as necessary.”

Where is the data? For Love Data Week, we’re spotlighting KORDS — King’s Open Research Data System. From deposits by faculty, global views, and top-performing datasets, here’s what a year of data sharing at #KCL looks like. #LoveWeek26
A pink background with the title 'An anniversary with KORDS in red. In the top right corner, the King's College London logo. 
The text reads: 'Over the past year... we published 92 datasets... which received 65,090 views... and 30,125 downloads.
At the bottom in small text it says 'Data from 04/02/2025 - 04/02/2026.'A pink background with the title 'An anniversary with KORDS' in red. In the top right corner, it says ‘Love Data Week, February 9 – 13'.

The text reads: 'These data came from all across Kings...'
Below is a pie graph and an accompanying text box showing the deposits into KORDS by King's faculty. 
'IoPPN - 40.9%, FoDOCS- 18.2%, NMES - 13.6%, A&H- 12.5%, Life Sciences & Medicine - 8%, NMPC - 4.5%, SSPP - 1.1%, Business School - 1.1%'

The text at the top reads 'Our most eligible bachelors datasets were:' - with the word bachelors crossed out. There are 3 boxes with facts about the top performing datasets in KORDS. 

Box 1: "Most downloaded - 1,100 downloads. ‘Simulated electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram signals modulated by respiration’
DOI: 10.18742/RDM01-23"

Box 2: "Most viewed - 10,461 views. ‘Simulation data for "Deciphering the Molecular Mechanisms of Startle Disease: the Role of the Asn46Lys Mutation in the Glycine Receptor"’

Data management is a core part of good research practice. To kick off Love Data Week, our data lifecycle shows data's journey through planning, collecting, organising, storing, preserving and sharing to support open research. #LoveData26 #KCL
The background is pink with pale digital hearts. 
The title is 'The Research Data Life Cycle at King's'. 
The body of the text says: 'Plan. See if you can rekindle an old flame by looking for existing data you can reuse. Ask yourself: What are you looking for in a partner your data? (Your partner is crossed out). Boundaries! Consider ethics, consent, data protection, and funder requirements. Write a Data Management Plan (DMPOnline is your wingperson!). 
There is an image in the top left of green and yellow cables. 
There is an image in the top right which says 'Love Data Week February 9-13, 2026'The background is white with pink digital hearts. The text reads:
Section 1: Collect. Handle with care - collect data securely and responsibly. Consent is essential - follow all governance requirements. Check-in - Have processes in place to provide quality assurance. Why didn't you write me? Keep detailed records as you go! 
Section 2: Organise. Settling down - clean, organise, and document your data. What is your data's love language? Analyse using appropriate methods. Don't mess around! Keep versions, file names, and folder structures clear.

Pink background with digital hearts. 
Section 1: Store. Build a secure attachment by storing live data in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Research Data Storage (King's IT and the E-Research team can support you with this).
Strong foundations build a good house. Ensure the data is backed up regularly. 
Meet the family - consider access controls. 

Section 2: Preserve. 
Find your forever home - deposit your data in the King's Open Research Data System (KORDS) or an appropriate subject data repository. 
Plan for the future by using sustainable long-term file formats. 
Your love letter to the future - add clear metadata and documentation.

There is an image in the top right which says 'Love Data Week February 9-13, 2026' A white background with pink digital hearts. 
Text says:
Share. Forget-me-nots - use a Persistent Identifier to ensure your love data can always be found (love is crossed out). 
Give back to the community together. Consider how you will licence your data so that other people can re-use it. 
If you love your data, you will set it free. Aim for your data to be as open as possible, as closed as necessary. 

There is an image of a golden heart, inside it says 'To find out more, contact research.data@kcl.ac.uk'
There is another image of blue, purple, and orange fibres against a dark blue background.
