Insights

Citing data sources — why is it good and how to do it?

Datasets are as crucial for research in health sciences as are publications, and — like publications — data should also be cited. Proper citation benefits users and producers of data alike.

Google dataset search

Google provides a platform to search datasets, which allows you to explore data without jumping around multiple webpages.

What is NYC Open Data?

NYC Open Data is a repository of government-produced datasets that is accessible by everyone for free.
