UK Data Archive - new website
The UK Data Archive has launched a new website. The website has a clearer and more consistent feel, to present a more open and contemporary image of their role in the social sciences and research.
The new image and web presence portrays a unique identity for the Archive which differentiates it from the ESDS. The Archive runs other key research data and support services, including the ESRC Census portal, the Survey Question Bank, the Secure Data Service, the History Data Service and the RELU Data Support Service. They also engage in related research and development activities supported by the ESRC, JISC, EU and other funders.
1. There is a new look and feel to the site - including the logo and colour scheme
2. Site navigation has been simplified and improved
3. Data can no longer be searched or accessed on the UK Data Archive site. Instead the site is a portal to our varied data resources. Users are very clearly directed to the ESDS where data can be found and accessed, much as it is now
4. Our Managing & Sharing pages are now called Create & Manage, and while they may look different, the content is the same
5. We have a new series of case studies submitted by users featuring how they used our data.
We are sure this will enhance user experience, but understand there may be initial inconvenience as everyone becomes familiar with the new style and layout. Apologies for any inconvenience that does arise
