Alternate sources of data#

We sometimes encounter replication packages that reference Dataverse or Zenodo. Download those as they are found on those sites. Extract them as you would the openICPSR downloads, but please pay attention to the directory naming structure:

Source

DOI or project

Directory name (DIRNAME)

openICPSR

https://doi.org/10.3886/E123456V1

123456

openICPSR

openicpsr-123456

123456

Dataverse

https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RE5ZVI

dv-10.7910-DVN-RE5ZVI

Dataverse

https://doi.org/10.3456/ABCDE

dv-10.3456-ABCDE

Zenodo

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7041706

zenodo-7041706

Usage#

Whether manually downloading the files or using the scripts, once the ZIP file is downloaded, you would still use

    unzip -n NAME_OF_ZIP.zip -d DIRNAME

where DIRNAME is defined as in the table above, and NAME_OF_ZIP.zip is whatever you downloaded from the repository. In the case of the [openICPSR download script]((get-the-data), the file downloaded from openICPSR is typically called DIRNAME.zip, e.g, 123456.zip. It will be called something else in most other cases.
