The goal of this guide is to help XULA community members identify relevant data sets to their interests. Of note, if you are on the hunt for datasets. you've already identified a research question and determined that an already exisiting dataset will best suit your interest. These datasets are organized by topic, but if you are in need of specific support in your research, reach out your subject specialist or to the data visualization lab manager.
Some data sources listed will provide you with curated data, while others will provide raw data that will need to be cleaned, processed, and sorted. Be sure to evaluate each set of data to meet your information needs.
This is a curated list and is updated periodically to ensure that links still function. If you encounter a broken link, or if you'd like to see a repository or data source included, email vizlab@xula.edu.
