I am considering using Wikirate to archive and disseminate my organization’s research. How can I mass upload data sets? 

You certainly can upload standardized datasets to Wikirate. First, you should, however, make sure there is a Metric framework that can capture that data. If these Metrics do not yet exist on the platform, you can also mass upload those. Find more on how to use the import tool or the RESTful API to upload content to Wikirate here.

The Wikirate team is available to support you in this process. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! 

We have “old” research. Is that data still valuable for Wikirate?

Absolutely! While recent data is great to help us understand the current situation, historical data can help us understand trends; how and why things have changed over long periods of time. It helps us grapple with questions like: Did working conditions improve in the aftermath of the pandemic? As emissions decreased on the road to net zero, did other kinds of pollution increase? With more legislation focusing on transparency in supply chains, did supply chains become more or less fragmented over the past decade? 

So, while data might be old, by archiving it in an open repository like Wikirate, you can extend its life cycle and allow it to continue to be of value to society.
