When searching for datasets for your class project or research, consider the following options presented in this guide:
- Are you looking for a dataset that you can use to conduct further statistical analysis with software?
- Are you looking for specific numbers that have already been grouped by indicators or statistical analysis?
For datasets, you can visit the public data sources and subscription-based data sources pages in this guide. These data sources are mostly suitable for secondary data analysis by those who are not the primary data collectors. When visiting the subscription-based data sources, the embedded tools often provide visualization or aggregates of different sources for further analysis. Take advantage of these tools through the library subscription.
For specific numbers, you can utilize the data explorers, viz tools, and dashboard page to look up existing databases built by various organization which allow users to query and export reports.
The third type of resource covered in this guide is special search engines designed for finding research publications and the associated dataset. The accessibility of those datasets can vary, you may need to request permission to access the data.
For discipline specific questions, you can visit the Subject Guide or connect with your Subject Librarians at the UNT Libraries for further assistance.
