Welcome to the SSCAN Data Space. We’re thrilled to be building a community of social sciences researchers who work with sensitive data. The SSCAN Data Space will be a data sharing infrastructure, community, and suite of services working together to meet the needs of sensitive data depositors and users. SSCAN supports open science while maintaining the confidentiality of datasets and research participants.
