[Objective] To discusses the current status and future directions of Data Repositories (DR). [Methods] Using Databib data, this paper analyses the distributions of DR in terms of country, set-up time, academic field, organizational types, and openness, and then uses GenBank, Dryad, and Figshare to demonstrate DR services. [Results] The study reveals the increasing openness and constant service enrichment of DR, and great potentials in standardizations and integrations. [Conclusions] DRs are in full development, but there are strong needs for further research and application in research lifecycle based data management and open data standards and tools.
