EMM Survey Data Self-Deposit Dataverse (EMMSD²)
Within the framework of the CHIST-ERA-funded OPENMIN project, AUSSDA has developed the Ethnic and Migrant Minorities Survey Data Self-Deposit Dataverse (EMMSD²). EMMSD² is a straightforward self-archiving solution based on AUSSDA’s established Dataverse infrastructure and allows researchers to archive projects that cannot be deposited in regular social science data archives.
Using this tool requires:
- An existing AUSSDA account (can be created for free in the AUSSDA Dataverse)
- Application for a self-deposit account at AUSSDA and contacting Dimitri Prandner (dimitri.prandner@jku.at) for access to EMMSD². The following documentation must be provided:
- Proof of data protection training completed within the last two years
- Proof that a study is registered in the EMM Survey Registry (i.e., proof of membership in the EMM Survey Registry community)
- A document confirming authorisation to archive at least one study of interest
- Completion of a training session with AUSSDA on the use of Dataverse after creating an account, and preparing a dataset in accordance with AUSSDA’s self-deposit manual
After completion of the training and approval of the first dataset, EMMSD² users are certified for self-deposit and may independently upload data.
