Consultations - Data archive & Data analyses

The service ranges from finding adequate data sets and doing literature searches to solving methodological and technical problems relatet to data analyses. However, the data archive provides no general analysis service. The archived data are documented at the Data catalogue and provided according to the terms of charges and usage regulations. We contribute our expertise in data management, archiving, and long-term preservation of social science data by consultations on data archiving to researchers and researcher groups.
