Community Built Infrastructure: The Dataverse Project

For more than a decade, the Dataverse Project (dataverse.org) has provided an open-source platform used to build data repositories around the world. Core to its success is its hybrid development approach, which pairs a core team based at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University with an empowered, worldwide community contributing code, documentation, and other efforts towards open science. In addition to an overview of the platform and how to join the community, we’ll discuss recent and future efforts towards large data support, geospatial data integrations, sensitive data support, integrations with reproducibility tools, access to computation resources, and many other useful features for researchers, journals, and institutions.
