Coscine-JARDS
JARDS (Joint Application, Review, and Dispatch Service) is software designed and used for allocating computing time or storage and data processing resources. Since July 2023, Coscine has been using its own JARDS instance (Coscine-JARDS) for the allocation of storage resources, thereby creating a basis for the allocation processes for storage resources on DataStorage.nrw.
Login
Before you can log in, you must select the resource for which you want to request storage space.
Register with Coscine using your official university email address.
You will then receive an authentication email. Simply follow the link in the email.
Here you can create new applications and edit existing ones.
Create an application
The procedure is explained below using an S3 application as an example. The storage space request for web resources looks identical, but contains fewer questions regarding metadata entry.
To create a new application, click on the corresponding button.
You will then be guided through a series of questions required for the application, at which point an application ID will also be assigned. Make sure that all mandatory fields (*) are filled in.

Workflow and structure
This part is only for S3 resources. If you are submitting a web application, you can skip this section.
Info
Bei Anträgen für S3-Ressourcen muss die Metadatenverwaltung verständlich und möglichst detailliert darlegt werden, da eine Abfrage über Coscine nicht stattfindet.
Upload files
Here you can upload supporting materials, such as a data management plan (DMP), to help reviewers better understand your data and metadata workflow.
Only one PDF file containing all relevant information is permitted.
Submission
Please ensure that your information is as detailed as possible. This will help us to avoid any queries and process your application more quickly.
