Can I deposit my data into a topical archive?

An external funding agency often sponsors topical archives (e.g., NACJD, NAHDAP) at ICPSR.  Each topical or sponsored archive varies in the data that it can accept.  Some topical archives only accept data from studies that were funded by the same sponsor, for example.  Other topical archives have a broader scope and can take data as long as it aligns with the archive’s mission.  If a topical archive cannot accept your data, you can always deposit your data into the ICPSR General Archive or into openICPSR, both of which accept any data within the social and behavioral sciences (broadly defined). To determine the most appropriate place to deposit your data, contact ICPSR-help@umich.edu.
