The Dataverse Network Project

See Study File Tips for more about uploading files for a dataverse study.

To upload files associated with a new study:

1. After you enter the Cataloging Information on the study page, you can click the Upload Files tab before you click Save to upload your files.
   If you clicked Save on the Cataloging Information tab, click the Add File(s) link in the top-right area of the page to go to the Upload Files tab.
   If prompted to accept Terms of Use, check the I Accept box and then click the Continue button.
2. For each file that you choose to upload to your study, click the Browse button to select the file and upload one file at a time.
   There is no restriction to the number or types of files that you can upload to the IQSS DVN. There is a maximum file size of 1 gigabyte for each subsettable data file that you upload.
3. For each file that you upload, first click the check box in front of the file's entry in the list, and then use the Category drop-down list to select the type of file that you uploaded.
   Every checked file is assigned the category that you select. Be sure to click the checked box to remove the check before you select a new value in the Category list for another file.
4. In the Description field, enter a brief message that identifies the contents of your file.
5. Click Save when you are finished uploading files.
   You see the Documentation, Data and Analysis tab of the study page with a list of the uploaded files. For each subsettable data set file that you upload, the number of variables and a link to the Data Citation information for that data set are displayed. If you uploaded an SPSS (.sav or .por) file, the Type for that file is changed to Tab delimited and the file extension is changed to .tab when you click Save.
6. Continue to the next step and set file permissions for the study or its files.
