      The Slovak Archive of Social Data (SASD) arose in 2004 with the aim of making 
      the documentation, data and information about the results of sociological 
      research accessible for the needs of research and non-commercial use, and 
      to store them in electronic and printed form.  
       
      The basis of the data archive is primarily formed by the documentation and 
      the data from international research programmes such as the International 
      Social Survey Programme (ISSP) and information about research were realized 
      in the framework of European 
      Social Survey (ESS), and the European 
      Values Study (EVS), in which Slovakia participated through funding from 
      the state budget or external grants.  
       
      SASD also preserves and makes those results of sociological research accessible 
      that were financed by private means or arose out of commercial purposes, 
      but only if the data rights owner decides to open these to the public and 
      the research fulfils the usual professional requirements. 
       
      Apart from data, SASD consists of lists of other social data archives worldwide, 
      links to important social data sources and a list of publications, authors 
      of which used data available in the data archive. |
