Scholars Portal Dataverse

The Scholars Portal Dataverse network is a repository for research data collected by individuals and organizations associated with Ontario universities. The platform makes it possible for researchers to deposit data, create appropriate metadata, and version documents as they work. Access to data and supporting documentation can be controlled down to the file level, and researchers can choose to make content available publicly, select specific individuals, or to keep it completely locked. All data is hosted on Canadian servers, in a secure environment that conforms to industry best practices for maintaining data integrity and longevity. The data in the collection is discoverable via a basic search and an advanced search that includes multiple fields such as title, producer, relevant dates, topic, funding agency, geography, type of data, etc. Laurier Library provides access to this through our membership in OCUL, of which Scholars Portal is a service.
