Why value your datasets on Recherche Data Gouv?

Updated at: 08/09/2023

The Recherche Data Gouv portal exists since a little more than one year; but do you know it in all its variety? As well as being the point of entry to the national repository, it is also the place where information on the actors in the ecosystem is centralized, as well as the documentation enabling you to use the repository.

But that's not all! The Recherche Data Gouv portal also offers you the opportunity to add value to your datasets. Every two months, seven new datasets are highlighted on the home page of the recherche.data.gouv.fr portal. The Centre de données socio-politiques (CDSP, UAR CNRS - Sciences Po), for example, recently promoted data from the ELIPSS panel - Étude Longitudinale par Internet Pour les Sciences Sociales.

This kind of promotion is a gateway for the scientific community and the general public to discover your datasets. Highlighting your dataset on the portal increases the visibility of your work, and highlights the sometimes lengthy and complex work involved in making the data usable and reusable.

To submit your dataset, it must have been previously deposited in Recherche Data Gouv or have been deposited elsewhere but harvested in Recherche Data Gouv. All you need to do is send us a few details, such as the title, a summary, a teaser and an image. The idea? Make your readers want to discover the game in its entirety. Follow the guide on this page!
