KOSSDA is a data archive established in 2006 with the aim of laying the foundation for empirical research in social sciences in Korea. Specifically, KOSSDA collects data from research resources produced by individuals and institutes, archives the data into a systematic database and provides them to be reused in research. Since being transferred to SNU in 2015, KOSSDA has actively conducted data archiving research and advanced the platform in order to provide FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data from users’ perspective. Further, KOSSDA organizes educational programs, events and data-based research projects to promote data sharing and use.
