Data Services

We can provide guidance on managing your research data and give you access to the datasets you need to complete your research.

MINDS@UW

MINDS@UW was designed to gather, distribute, and preserve digital materials related to the University of Wisconsin’s research and instructional mission. Content may include research papers and reports, pre-prints and post-prints, datasets and other primary research materials, theses, student projects, conference papers and presentations, and other born-digital or digitized research materials.

 UWDCC
