| Eurobarometer primary data and related documentation are stored at the GESIS Data Archive department (formerly Central Archive for Empirical Social Research) and ICPSR. They are made available European- and worldwide through the networks of the Social Science Data Archives for re-use (statistical analysis) in research or training. Online access to the the Standard & Special Eurobarometer, the Candidate Countries and Eastern Eurobarometer is provided via the GESIS ZACAT portal, including question or variable retrieval, tabulations and download of analysis data sets. | |

In the nineties the program has been complemented by small scale Flash Eurobarometer and the Central and Eastern Eurobarometer, later replaced by the Candidate Countries Eurobarometer. Survey results are regularly published in official reports by the Eurobarometer unit of the European Commission. | |
| European and world wide comparative survey projects since 1948 (population samples) are referenced in a tabular historical overview, including the Global Barometer project(s), the World and European Values Studies, ISSP, the European Social Survey, and more then 60 other relevant survey programs. | ||
