Introduction With our services, we offer you, as a data producer, support in the following seven areas:
1. Preservation: We will preserve your data, thereby ensuring their reusability. 2. Provision: We will make your data available for secondary research, thereby enabling easy access to them. 3. Registration: We will make your data visible, thereby ensuring that they can be easily searched and cited. 4. Preparation: We will prepare your datasets, thereby enhancing the quality of your data. 5. Enrichment: We will enrich your datasets with additional information, thereby increasing the analytical potential of your data. 6. Documentation: We will create high-quality and qualified subject-specific documentation of your study. 7. Training: We will provide you with training in topics relating to research data management, data preparation and documentation, as well as long-term digital preservation.
In the first part of the catalog, we introduce you to our tried-and-tested service packages, which provide solutions that meet a wide range of needs. Should you have needs that are beyond the scope of these packages, you are sure to find a solution among our individual services. In order to cover your needs exactly, simply combine a number of our diverse individual services, or combine service packages with individual services. The second part of the catalog gives you the necessary overview of all our individual services.
A brief and clear description is provided for each service package and each individual service, so that you can find out easily and quickly whether it meets your needs and what benefits it offers you. Initial pricing information is also provided.
With the package Archiving BASIC and the individual service Data Registration for Institutions, GESIS offers cost-free basic services. The basic archival service, Archiving BASIC, is especially suitable for smaller (academic) research projects.
Services that go beyond the cost-free basic service, and that are priced according to the amount of work involved, are a new addition to our service program. With the introduction of this fee-based service portfolio, GESIS now offers a larger circle of users the possibility of availing of the diverse skills of the Data Archive for their data. In the service packages Archiving PLUS and Archiving PREMIUM, your data will be comprehensively checked and documented. In Archiving PLUS, this is carried out at study level; in Archiving PREMIUM, it is also carried out in detail at variable level. These packages are suitable for larger research projects and for foundations and infrastructure institutions.

Information on the pricing of the data services One of GESIS' focus areas is the high-quality preparation and documentation of data. Up to now, these services,1 which go well beyond simple archiving, have been limited to survey programs where the data are collected by GESIS itself (e.g., the German General Social Survey, ALLBUS) or are curated by GESIS within the framework of a special cooperation relationship (e.g., the Eurobarometer). As these services are very labor intensive, they could not be offered to a wider set of interested parties up to now.
The requirements currently imposed by research funding agencies increasingly include the long-term digital preservation of the data arising from funded projects and the provision of these data for secondary use. Consequently, the demands on both the comprehensibility of the research data and on the quality of the accompanying documentation are growing, and thus, ultimately, also the demands on the primary researchers. At the same time, however, research funders are offering researchers the possibility of applying for funding for these purposes.
1 These services include the comprehensive checking and correction of the datasets, the standardization of codes and labels, and the detailed documentation of the survey instruments in accordance with international standards. So-called "variable reports" are then made available to the users. On the technical basis of the documentation for a variable report (in XML), publication in an online analysis portal (ZACAT) is also possible.
In order to take account of this development, GESIS is opening its unique service portfolio to a wide audience in the form of the flexible GESIS data services. Primary researchers can commission GESIS to provide high quality preparation, documentation, and preservation services for their data, or they can expand their own skills in the training courses offered. This is also the case when the data are not archived with GESIS. As a result, the workload of the primary researchers and scientific staff on research projects is reduced, thereby enabling them to concentrate on project work and on their research. The costs of the desired services can be estimated by GESIS as early as the project proposal stage.
The prices of the GESIS data services are based on the costs that GESIS incurs when providing the services, plus an overhead rate. The prices stated in the catalog are net prices (i.e., exclusive of VAT). GESIS will not make a profit with the data services.
GESIS will, of course, continue in future to provide cost-free archiving of social science research data (service package Archiving BASIC), as well as other cost-free services (e.g., Data Registration for Institutions). In this way, we will ensure that all interested social scientists have a secure and reliable way of publishing their data with high visibility.

General Information on Training Courses:
The specific content of the training courses will be individually coordinated with you, and are based on your needs and previous knowledge. We offer both general introductions and specific training courses on individual aspects.
The duration of the training courses varies, as necessary, between two or three hours and several days.
The target groups of the training courses are (junior) researchers in the social sciences and employees at social science archives and research data centers. Group size should be between 10 and 20 participants.
