Data Science Datasets
Master Data Use Agreement (DUA) facilitated by the Harvard Data Science Initiative, for Harvard researcher access to a large collection of datasets.
The DUA allows Harvard researchers access to a large collection of vendor-owned or vendor-managed datasets, including full-text article content, citation data, and curated data from a variety of scientific fields. Under the terms of the Agreement, Harvard researchers have the opportunity to access these datasets for research purposes at no cost. Individual researchers are not required to have a sponsored relationship with the vendor in order to access data under the DUA.

Among the available resources are:
Scopus - a comprehensive, curated abstract and citation database with enriched data and linked scholarly literature across a wide variety of disciplines. It finds relevant and authoritative research, identifies experts and provides access to reliable data, metrics and analytical tools.
SSRN - an open-access online preprint community providing services to schools and government institutions. It specializes in the sciences, and allows scholars to post their early research, collaborate on theories and discoveries, and get credit for their ideas before peer-reviewed publication.
