The Dataverse Network® repository is a data sharing and archiving web application. A Dataverse Network contains collections of individual dataverses, which you can browse and search for data. A dataverse is a web site and virtual archive where you can store, permanently preserve, distribute, and generally or selectively share your data or list data from other dataverses. It ensures that you receive formal scholarly citation credit for your data and more attention for your related writings. It also can increase your web visibility via easy customization that makes your dataverse look like part of your web site.

You can upload to your dataverse files and data in any format, but quantitative tabular data in SPSS and STATA forms are made available for extensive services online that include subetting, recoding, and analysis.

This is open-source, free software, available to all. Visit the following page to see the IQSS Dataverse Network in action:
