Submit request for data

Research data that contain personal data or other classified information need to have approval from the research principal before they can be released. They may need to, for instance, undergo a confidentiality assessment. For that reason, you have to make a request for datasets with the access level Access to data is restricted in the research data catalogue that are described using DORIS (SND's documentation system).

How do I request data?

If you are logged in to the SND website when you make the request, you can follow the administrative process in DORIS, under Request data. You can also make a data request without logging in.

In accordance with Swedish legislation, you generally have the right to remain anonymous when requesting official documents. However, if the document is subject to confidentiality, a public authority may ask who is requesting the document and what it will be used for, if this is necessary for the confidentiality assessment. SND requests the information below to facilitate the disclosure process. If you do not wish to provide this information, you can instead contact the organization that is the data principal and request the documents in accordance with the principle of public access to information.

Fill in the form and click Submit. The request will be submitted to SND or the research principal responsible for the material. You will receive a confirmation e-mail that your request has been sent. If you are a student, a confirmation email will also be sent to the e-mail address of the supervisor/course coordinator that you enter in the form. 

You will be contacted if we need any further information to process your request. We will contact you if the process takes longer than expected.

Login

In which file formats are the data delivered?

At SND, we strive to deliver requested research data in file formats that are as future-proof as possible. We deliver the files in formats that are well-documented, non-proprietary (i.e. open source formats), frequently used, and that can be read in multiple software.

If we, for some reason, cannot deliver data in file formats that follow all of these specifications, we try to make sure that the data are in formats that are common and well-established for that particular research field, so that you will still be able to read and analyse the file contents.
