Preparation
Before creating your own ARC, invest some time to think about the following questions.
What is my investigation?
What is my study?
Which assay did I perform?
What is my (raw) dataset?
What protocols did I use?
💡 It might help to have this info ready in a text file. In particular, try to think about useful names (identifiers) for investigation, study and assay.

Your ARC's name

to create your ARC in the DataHUB at https://git.nfdi4plants.org/<YourUserName>/<YourARC> (see next steps)
as the identifier for your investigation
💡 Make sure that no ARC exists at https://git.nfdi4plants.org/<YourUserName>/<YourARC>. Otherwise you will sync to that ARC.
