Research Guides: Data Science: Finding Datasets

About

Datasets are becoming increasingly abundant and accessible online. However, finding relevant data in the sea of information can be a daunting process. This guide is meant to organize reputable data sources by subject for your convenience.

When evaluating a data source, it is important to consider:

Where the data is from (authorship)
Accessibility (file format)
Content (subject & quality)

This section is continuously under development as new sources are added and obsolete ones are removed.
