ICPSR Deposit Form

Please complete the ICPSR Deposit Form to help us see to it that your collection will be accurately and thoroughly described for potential secondary analysts in the social science community. ICPSR will use the information to prepare a study description for its online data catalog and to create an authoritative bibliographic citation. Depositors can find out how to prepare data for archiving and dissemination in ICPSR's Guide to Social Science Data Preparation and Archiving: Best Practice Throughout the Life Cycle (2005)

The data deposit form grants permission for ICPSR to archive and distribute your data collection.

You may save your progress, exit, and return at any time to complete the form during another session.

Upload of files to ICPSR will be secure.

ICPSR can expedite the release of a data collection via its Web site and its online Data Analysis System (DAS), if the collection meets certain requirements. See ICPSR Requirements for Rapid Data Release. This process, when complete and accurate, fulfills requirements for publicly available data.
