B. CTS Certification
You can find CoreTrustSeal (CTS) certification documentation and information on their website: CoreTrustSeal.
This information includes their Certification Requirements and their Application Portal.
Portage has recently (July 2021) had the CTS Extended Guidance document translated to French, unofficially. Please note that the English version is the only version endorsed by CoreTrustSeal.
The Dataverse Project at Harvard has also produced a Dataverse Guide for CTS Certification. This guide outlines what potential responses could include as per three previously successful Dataverse-related applications.

C. Example Policies from Reviewed CTS Applications
Each of the six reviewed CTS applications have their own page that includes a list of all files, related to that repository, that are available for download. Each page also includes a high-level review of the most relevant documents from that repository.
C.1 DANS: EASY
C.2 DataverseNL
C.3 DataverseNO
C.4 Odum
C.5 IRIS
C.6 FSSDA
C.7 Policies/Procedures for Reviewed CTS Application
This page contains a comparison of the documents referenced in each of the six application – by requirement. This comparison demonstrates that there is a wide-range of documentation used by the six analyzed repositories to justify how they comply to each requirement.
C.8 Gap Analysis for Scholars Portal
This page contains a review of the 16 CTS requirements and what recommended documented evidence is required by both Scholars Portal and Member Institutions to demonstrate compliance for each requirement. This recommended documented evidence is based on both the instructions provided for each requirement by CTS, and the six example applications reviewed and noted above.
