About Dataset Search

Dataset Search is designed to increase discovery, reuse, and citation of open research data at MSU.

Dataset Search:

  • Catalogs MSU research datasets
  • Showcases research data as a scholarly product and a driver of institutional reputation
  • Promotes research data discovery through search engine optimization

The Dataset Search system is open source and library-built. We are a member of the Data Discovery Collaboration.
