The so-called research data repositories are an evolution of document repositories that aim to access and preserve all research materials used before, during, and after scientific research. Against this backdrop, this study takes an exploratory and descriptive approach to the international landscape of research data repositories in the Geosciences (RDR-GEO) castrated and available on the Registry of Research Data Repositories (re3data.org). Specifically, the metadata related to themes, countries, licenses, software, institutions, and research data used by the international Geosciences community is analyzed. The data was extracted from re3data.org using web scraping techniques. Once the data has been collected, it is necessary to use the OpenRefine software to clean, recode, merge data sets, and export data for visualization in tables, graphs, and network maps. It is concluded that although the international community of data librarians in Geosciences encourages the use of software such as Ckan, DSpace, DataVerse, e-Prints, and Fedora, they are little used in the area of Geosciences that mostly use their technologies. Between the (325) RDR-GEO, only 17 use them. Some examples of RDR-Geo made with this software are GeoPlatform (Ckan), DataShare (DSpace), UCLA Social Science Data Archive (Dataverse), OceanRep GEOMAR Repository (e-Prints) e, and TAMBORA (Fedora). Finally, Geoscience Research Data Repositories (RDR-GEOs) are heterogeneous data sources that enable access and preservation of various research data types. They store information/knowledge of areas related to Earth Sciences such as Atmospheric, Geodesic, Geophysical, Geological and Oceanographic Sciences.
