Social Science Data

Dryad is an open data publishing platform and a community committed to the open availability and routine re-use of all research data.

A free data repository open to all researchers from any discipline, both inside and outside of the Harvard community, where you can share, archive, cite, access, and explore research data. Each individual Dataverse collection is a customizable collection of datasets (or a virtual repository) for organizing, managing, and showcasing datasets.

openICPSR is a self-publishing repository for social, behavioral, and health sciences research data. openICPSR is particularly well-suited for the deposit of replication data sets for researchers who need to publish their raw data associated with a journal article so that other researchers can replicate their findings. Unlike the ICPSR data archive, ICPSR does not improve or alter datasets deposited in openICPSR in any way, though, ICPSR may also occasionally choose openICPSR data collections to curate and add to its General Archive.

OSF Institutions is a scholarly web tool that enhances transparency, fosters collaboration, and increases the visibility of research outputs at leading research institutions. The Center for Open Science partners with these institutions to create central hubs for research projects.

QDR curates, stores, preserves, publishes, and enables the download of digital data generated through qualitative and multi-method research in the social sciences.
