The implementation of PAR 1.0 focused on articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and papers in juried conference proceedings. PAR 2.0 is the next stage of a phased implementation adding the capability for public access to datasets by enabling researchers
to auto-populate metadata for reposited datasets by means of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). NSF-PAR only stores the metadata and DOI and not the dataset itself in the repository.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-.25in;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:115%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo5">
