data


During the last ten years several datasets and data collection tools were compiled, which are provided pro-bono on this page.

Unless stricter procedures are noted, data is covered by an attribution, share-alike copyright license.

i-pol team datasets by Rachel K. Gibson, Wainer Lusoli and Stephen Ward is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License.
Based on a work at www.i-pol.org.

This means you can use the data for your own work, as long as you attribute the source (well, us...); if you modify a dataset, you have to make it available according to the same licence. For most uses, including academic replication, this is intuitive and requires you to do nothing more than common sense suggests. In case you want to merge into the dataset some proprietary data (which has its own restrictions), please get in touch and we'll easily find a solution (again, common sense). Of course, the data is provided as-is, we do no servicing, we don't run your analysis for you and we don't provide detailed explanations about the variables (these are found in the papers you may want to replicate).
