A journal dataverse is like any other dataverse, but it is set up specifically so that each study contains a published journal article, the related replication data sets, and the topic classification for the study (Volume, Year, and Issue). The article's author adds this content to the dataverse.

Each dataverse hosted by a Dataverse Network is a virtual archive or organizer of research data. It can contain data sets (called studies) that are uploaded specifically to that dataverse or that belong to other dataverses. Data sets can be organized by collections and sub-collections. In addition to uploading studies and setting up collections, if you are the dataverse owner (administrator) you can customize the dataverse browser page.

A Dataverse Network installation serves as a host to one or more dataverses. From a Dataverse Network you can create your own dataverse, which is an online, virtual archive where you can upload and distribute data, use data from other dataverses in the network, or define a set of data collections.
