The Dataverse Network hosts many distinct types of dataverses. Each dataverse can contain any number of studies, and each study can contain any number of data set files. Within a dataverse, studies can be organized into collections. A dataverse also can contain links to collections of studies in other dataverses.
You can browse, search, and view contents of released dataverses within the Network, or of any dataverse or study that you have permission to access. To view the contents of a dataverse, study, or collection, click the title that you choose to view. The contents are expanded and displayed below the selected entity.
Authors and administrators control access to content by using dataverse, study, and file settings and Terms of Use. For example, you can view data files for any study that is set as Released and is available to the public, or for any study that you have permission to access.
For each study you can view two distinct sets of information: the Cataloging Information and the list of study files.
