General Information

Harvard Dataverse is a research data repository running on the open source web application Dataverse. Harvard Dataverse is fully open to the public, and allows upload and browsing of data from all fields of research, and is free for all researchers worldwide (up to 1 TB). Links to related grants, authors, software and research products are provided. Harvard Dataverse supports managed access (with an access request workflow) as well as embargoing generally and during peer review. Dataverse allows users to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyse research data. It facilitates making data available to others, and allows you to replicate others' work more easily. Researchers, data authors, publishers, data distributors, and affiliated institutions all receive academic credit and web visibility. The Harvard Database receives support from Harvard University, public and private grants, and an emergent consortium model.
