Social Science Japan Data Archive

The Social Science Japan Data Archive (SSJDA) aims to support empirical research in the social sciences in Japan by collecting, maintaining, and preserving micro data obtained from labor and social surveys, and by providing the academic community with access to these data for secondary analyses. By the 1990s, data archives, well established in the United States and most European countries, had become an integral part of social science research and education.Due to the lack of data archives in Japan, however, large numbers of empirical data collected over the years had gradually disappeared after their primary analyses. Metadata for all content is openly available, though there are restrictions on access to the underlying data linked to that metadata. A unit within the Center for Social Research and Data Archives, Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo, SSJDA aims to promote empirical research in the social sciences, and has been disseminating archival data since April, 1998.

日本社会科学数据档案馆（The Social Science Japan Data Archive，SSJDA）旨在通过采集、维护并妥善保存源自劳工调查与社会调查的微观数据，同时为学术界提供获取这些数据开展二次分析的渠道，以此支撑日本国内社会科学领域的实证研究。至20世纪90年代，数据档案馆在美国及多数欧洲国家已发展成熟，成为社会科学研究与教育中不可或缺的组成部分。然而彼时日本国内尚未建立数据档案馆，因此多年来采集的大量实证数据在完成初次分析后便逐渐散失。所有内容对应的元数据均可公开获取，但与该元数据关联的原始数据的访问设有相关限制。SSJDA作为东京大学社会科学研究所社会研究与数据档案馆中心的下属部门，旨在推动社会科学领域的实证研究，并自1998年4月起对外发布存档数据。
