Individual research · data support
Public data sources are scattered, foreign-language documents take time to read, and field definitions are hard to align. Once you describe the research question, we begin with a free data availability assessment.
For universities and researchers
Research data services
For universities, research institutions and researchers, we prepare consistent, reproducible data — first we assess whether it can be done, then we organize the data into a form you can use directly.
Two research scenarios
Individual research and team projects
Public data sources are scattered, and reconciling definitions takes time. Tell us your research question, and we first assess for free whether the data can be obtained, then decide on the next step.
Team projects · panel and topic data
Multi-source panels need their definitions aligned, and topic data needs cleaning and integration — doing it yourself is time-consuming. Set out your requirements, and the search assistant verifies hits and gaps against each required item.
We provide support for finding, assessing and organizing data; research design and writing remain the researcher's own work.
Research capabilities
Research-focused data support
Around research projects, paper reproduction and data applications, we provide research data support from availability assessment through to custom delivery.
Panel data preparation
Multi-year, multi-source panel data with consistent field definitions and documented gaps, supporting reproduction and secondary analysis.
Literature and corpus organization
Cleaning and structuring of literature, text and multimodal corpora for research analysis and model use.
Reproducibility material preparation
We prepare reproducible data and processing notes, with sources and field definitions attached, so they are easy to check and cite. Research design and paper writing remain the researcher's own work.
Data availability and compliance assessment
Before a project starts, we judge whether public data can be obtained and where the compliance boundaries lie, avoiding wasted effort.
Multi-source data integration
Alignment and integration of data across sources and across years, forming a research dataset ready for direct analysis.
Custom research datasets
We combine data tables, samples and documentation around your research goals, providing a verifiable delivery with support for later additions.
Dataset search
Research edition · dataset search
Set out the data your research needs and the conditions it must meet; we search authoritative data platforms for real and check hits and gaps against each required item.
Set out your conditions, start the search
- We judge hits and gaps against each required item, not just hand over links
- Real searches covering authoritative data platforms and public sources
- For hits, a dataset description card plus link; where there is no hit, we still present search directions and approximate sources
Deep search and download verification are carried out by the team; we provide source links, the search process and the results, and do not deliver raw data files. The conversation is only for discussing research data needs and is not a formal commitment.
Data-finding guides
How to find public data
We have organized the common questions of finding public data into guides: where to look, how to choose a platform, whether a license allows commercial use, and how to look up official data.
By discipline, a list of legitimate public data sources spanning official domestic platforms, university subscriptions and international repositories.
How to choose among common open data platforms by data type, including license characteristics and citation methods.
Where to find practice competitions, training corpora, classic benchmarks and large-scale corpora, platform by platform.
Explaining the difference between panel, cross-sectional and time-series data, with common public panel sources for economics and social science.
How to read licenses such as CC and ODbL — whether commercial use is allowed and whether attribution is required, in one clear table.
How to access and export from the National Data platform and the China Statistical Yearbook, and what to watch out for.
How we work together
From research goals to usable data
First we get the research goals and data definitions clear, then move toward delivery step by step through availability assessment and a pilot.
01
Clarify research goals
Define the research question, the variables needed, the time and geographic scope, and the definition requirements.
02
Availability and compliance assessment
We assess whether public data can be obtained, the compliance boundaries and the integration cost, giving direction and limits.
03
Search / organize / integrate
Real search, cleaning and integration, with consistent field definitions and documented gaps and anomalies.
04
Delivery and reproduction support
We deliver the dataset plus field documentation, source notes and reproduction notes, with support for later additions.
Leave the research data to us
Tell us your project goals and data needs; we assess availability first, then organize the data into a form you can use directly and reproduce.
