Cluster Research Data

We provide access to datasets that were compiled by Cluster researchers via the GESIS data repository. Researchers at the Cluster are expected to follow our Research Data Policy. Sharing the results of our data collection efforts not only stimulates research but also enhances visibility of our researchers. To achieve this, we ensure good visibility of the data through appropriate keywords and promote the data sets in the scientific community. If you want to publish a dataset that has been funded in any way by the Cluster, please reach out to us using the contact details in the info-box.
