Searching for data across research data centres

KonsortSWD’s data search allows you to search centrally through the extensive range of data available from the research data centres (FDZs) accredited by RatSWD. Our metadata search enables you to search through research datasets registered with DataCite from the social, behavioural, educational and economic sciences. Simply enter one or more keywords to find relevant datasets. You can use the filters to narrow down the results by FDZ, year, language or resource type. In addition to data, publications from the FDZs and RatSWD are included in the results list. This gives you a more comprehensive overview of the available research resources.

The data search is based on metadata that the research data centres deposit with DataCite.

* The data collections of the FDZ SAFE, the German Memory Archive and the Spoken German Archive are not included in the search. The data sets from these research data centres are not currently registered with DataCite. You can find the data collections of these research data centres on their respective websites.
