The Swedish National Data Service is an academic department that functions as a national data service for research in Sweden. It provides essential support for research data management, facilitating the effective handling and sharing of research data among scholars and institutions. The service includes access to a searchable database of research data, which aids researchers in locating and utilizing existing datasets for their work.
In addition to its database, the Swedish National Data Service offers various resources aimed at improving researchers' skills in data management and handling. One of the key tools available is DORIS, specifically designed to assist researchers in managing their data effectively. The department has recently received funding to enhance its offerings, including the development of new resources that address the handling of data containing personal information. Furthermore, the service promotes best practices in research data usage and sharing, with a focus on fostering skills and networking opportunities within the open science community.
