Data Archive for Social Sciences - Bosnia and Herzegovina
DASS-BiH (Data Archive for Social Sciences - Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a national service currently under development. Its role is to ensure long-term preservation and dissemination of social science research data. Currently, it operates as an organisational unit of the Centre for Development Evaluation and Social Science Research (CREDI).
CREDI is an independent non-profit and non-partisan think tank, with a mission of strengthening the culture of evidence-based policy-making in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The purpose of the data archive is to provide a vital research data resource for researchers, teachers, students, and other interested users.
Data that are included in DASS-BiH are survey data from social science research in various disciplines, including economics, development, education, political sciences, psychology and sociology. Both quantitative and qualitative data are included. In the next stage, DASS-BiH aims to also include administrative datasets.
