Dataset search tools help you find open data, research collections and public records from many fields. Listings include catalogues, repositories and portals from governments, universities, labs and open projects. Some cover one subject closely, such as genomics, climate or satellite imagery, while others gather datasets across many areas and add filters, previews and download notes. Compare a few side by side and look at the licence, the update date and the file formats offered, since two portals that look alike can carry very different terms. Check whether a catalogue links to the original data or hosts its own copy, because the source usually explains provenance and any limits on reuse.
The @unitedstates project is a shared commons of data and tools for the United States. It includes detailed data on members of Congress, scrapers and parsers for congressional work, a stand-alone legal citation detector, a parser for the US Code, licensing guidelines, bill nicknames, inspectors general data, contact form tools, district shape files, public domain photos, and a glossary of congressional terms.
Find and access astrophysics and astronomy research data, with indexed geospatial data.
The International Genome Sample Resource maintains and shares human genetic variation resources built by the 1000 Genomes Project. It updates these resources to the current reference assembly, adds new data sets from project samples, and includes data from other openly consented samples. Data sets are explored through a data portal, and a public API queries samples, populations, data collections, analysis groups and files.
4DMED-Sea is a project funded by the European Space Agency under contract 4000141547/23/I-DT. It covers case studies on ocean fronts and phytoplankton, the Mediterranean seascape, and Lagrangian connectivity and fisheries, and contributes toward a digital twin of the ocean for the Mediterranean Sea.
4TU.ResearchData is an international data repository for science, engineering and design. It offers research dataset curation, sharing, long-term access and preservation services, plus training and community engagement resources for research and research-support professionals. The repository provides browse and discovery functions across institutions, subjects and latest datasets.

Abacus Data Network is a data repository collaboration involving the libraries of Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Northern British Columbia and the University of Victoria. It hosts university-licensed data, open data and COVID-19 datasets. As of the snapshot, the network has recorded 903,854 downloads.
Dataset repository covering life, with searchable datasets.
The Aberdeen Birth Cohorts are groups followed by the University of Aberdeen: children born in Aberdeen in 1921, 1936, and 1950-1956. Childhood reading and mental ability test results have been linked to health and social information to study questions about aging, mental health, and dementia. Participants born in 1921 and 1936 have been invited back for studies, and similar research is being started for the 1950s group.
Open data portal operated by a Scottish local authority.
ABQ Open Data is the City of Albuquerque’s official open-data initiative. It provides access to open data sets covering city government data, business data, city events and news, and offers developer resources and guidance on using the open data. The page is part of the official City of Albuquerque website.
Searchable repository for finding atmospheric, oceanography and climate datasets and geospatial data.
The Acadia University Dataverse is the official research data repository for Acadia University, hosted on the Borealis platform. It supports the deposit and access of research datasets, with published deposit guidelines for users submitting data. The page is part of Acadia University’s official research infrastructure.
Find and access history research data, with indexed datasets.
AceView provides a comprehensive annotation of human and nematode genes, reconstructed by co-alignment and clustering of publicly available mRNAs and ESTs on the genome sequence. Its stated goals include a reliable, up-to-date resource on genes, their functions, alternative variants, expression, regulation and interactions, intended to stimulate further validating experiments at the bench.
Dataset repository covering agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine, with searchable dataset.
The ACSS Dataverse is a repository of social science datasets produced in Arab countries, run by the Arab Council for the Social Sciences with the Odum Institute. It aims to make data available for research in the region and to preserve data for future researchers. Access is free, though users are asked to register before downloading data.
Australian Capital Territory Open data.
The ACTRIS Data Centre operates a data portal that enables users to search, access and explore atmospheric aerosol, cloud, trace-gas and simulation chamber observation data, along with related tools and services from the ACTRIS research infrastructure. Its data holdings span five centre units: In-Situ, Aerosol Remote Sensing (ARES), Cloud Remote Sensing (CLU), Trace Gas Remote Sensing (GRES) and Atmospheric Simulation Chambers (ASC).
Dataset repository covering atmospheric, with searchable datasets.
ACU Research Bank is an institutional repository. It presents recent submissions and communities, with records covering publications and research outputs. Listed items include work on the TPACK framework and on short-term international study experiences.
AAU Research Data Repository is a free infrastructure for researchers and the community to publish and find data. Researchers can publish datasets and receive a unique digital object identifier (DOI). It is part of the AAU Scholarly Repository suite of data services and includes subject collections such as food security, environment, gender, population and rural development.
