Mission & Scope

The Australian Data Archive (ADA) [40], established in 1981, provides a national service for the collection, preservation, and dissemination of digital research data in the social sciences and related disciplines (Deposit Appraisal & Collection Policy) [22].

The ADA’s mission is to strengthen evidence-based research and policy by ensuring the long-term preservation and access to high-quality research data from Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. We deliver trusted infrastructure and services that enable secure, sustainable data reuse. Through collaboration with researchers, government, and the wider community, we maximise the value, transparency, and impact of social-science data (Expertise & Guidance) [30]
