ISSDA have updated the ISSDA Data Deposit Form. The Data Deposit Form collects information about the dataset and contact details for individuals responsible for the dataset who we can contact regarding the dataset. Metadata is created from the information entered in the ISSDA Data Depositor Form. Metadata is the information about the data study which ensures its findability, interoperability and reusability. The fields in the form correspond to Data Documentation Initiative (DDI), an international metadata standard for Social Science research data. Where possible the controlled vocabularies linked to in the form should be used. ISSDA uses CESSDA Controlled Vocabularies (CVC) which give standardised terms allowing for the comparison of data studies.

Find the ISSDA Data Deposit Form on the ISSDA Policies page of the ISSDA website.
