Alternate sources of data

We sometimes encounter replication packages that reference Dataverse or Zotero. Download those as they are found on those sites. Extract them as you would the openICPSR downloads, but please pay attention to the directory naming structure:

Source DOI or project Directory name (DIRNAME)
openICPSR https://doi.org/10.3886/E**123456**V1 123456
openICPSR openicpsr-123456 123456
Dataverse https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RE5ZVI dv-10.7910-DVN-RE5ZVI
Dataverse https://doi.org/10.3456/ABCDE dv-10.3456-ABCDE
Zenodo https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7041706 zenodo-7041706

Usage

Whether manually downloading the files or using the scripts, once the ZIP file is downloaded, you would still use

    unzip -n NAME_OF_ZIP.zip -d DIRNAME

where DIRNAME is defined as in the table above, and NAME_OF_ZIP.zip is whatever you downloaded from the repository. In the case of the [openICPSR download script]((get-the-data), the file downloaded from openICPSR is typically called DIRNAME.zip, e.g, 123456.zip. It will be called something else in most other cases.
