**Data** ---------- External Wikipage from the R Computing Lab ---------- @[toc] ---------- This collection is an unrepresentative sampling of publicly available data that I happen to find interesting. It is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of availability. In the following sections, I provide some examples of available data, including basic discussion of popular data repositories, links to open data, datasets to get you started, and a list of other places to look. In addition, I have included a long list of possible sources. I recognize that this list will forever be incomplete. Nevertheless, it is a good place to start. # Common data repositories: - [ICPSR][1] - [Harvard Dataverse][2], - [Nature’s list of repositories][3] - This list is often updated and it isn't social science specific, # Link to WFU zsr data guides: - [Finding Data][4] - [MTH Data Ethics][5] - [Sociology Resources: Data & Analysis Resources][6] - [Economic Indicators: Data Sources][7] # Popular datasets to get folks started: - [NLSY](https://www.bls.gov/nls/home.htm), -
