Discover Data

The IQSS Dataverse Network contains studies from large archives as well as studies from small dataverses owned by a researcher. The owner of each dataverse chooses whether or not wants to share the study information and the data files. We encourage everybody who creates a dataverse to make the data public, but this of course is not always possible due to confidentiality or personal reasons.

Here are some of the large dataverse in our Dataverse Network that hold data from known archives:

  • Murray Research Archive dataverse: This dataverse has a mixed of studies for which the data is restricted and studies open to the public. You can find information on how to access the restricted data files in the study page.
  • ODUM dataverse: (Studies in this dataverse are harvested from the ODUM Dataverse Network)
  • ICPSR dataverse: The data in this dataverse is accessible only to Harvard and MIT affiliates. The study information is available to everybody.
  • Roper dataverse:  All study information is available to everybody, but the data files are not accessible through this dataverse. To access the data, follow the original source link in the study.
  • Data Web:
  • N.A.R.A:

Most other dataverses in the IQSS Dataverse Network have public data. If a study has restricted data, you can contact the administrator  administrator of that dataverse (Contact Us) to find out more on how to access the data, if possible.

Other Dataverse Networks (independent of the IQSS Dataverse Network) might have different conditions on their data access. Consult those Dataverse Networks directly if you are interested in some specific data. Examples:

  • ODUM Dataverse Network:
  • Thailand Dataverse Network:
