The Dataverse Project is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore and analyze research data. Researchers, data authors, publishers, data distributors, and affiliated institutions all receive appropriate credit via a data citation with a persistent identifier (e.g., DOI, or handle).
A Dataverse repository is the software installation, within which there can be collections (sometimes alternatively called dataverses) and dataset(s). Each collection can itself contain datasets or other collections, and each dataset contains descriptive metadata and data files (including documentation and code that accompany the data).
In 2019, Dataverse won the Duke's Choice Award for university and higher education.
