Description
The Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD) is a national resource centre for research and education. FSD's mission is to preserve data collected to study Finnish society, people and cultural phenomena in the long term. FSD archives, promotes and disseminates digital research data for research, teaching and learning purposes. Data descriptions are published in Finnish and English on FSD’s service portal Aila, through which users also download data. Quantitative datasets are translated from Finnish into English on request, and a large number of datasets are available in English. All services are free of charge. FSD promotes transparency, accumulation and efficient reuse of scientific research as well as open access to research data. FSD is the Finnish Service Provider for CESSDA ERIC.
