&lt;strong&gt;Introduction to the Data in this Dataverse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This dataverse is about:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aircraft Design&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flight Mechanics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aircraft Systems&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

This dataverse contains &lt;strong&gt;research data and software produced by students for their projects and theses&lt;/strong&gt; on above topics. Get linked to all other resources from their reports using the URN from the German National Library (DNB) as given in each dataset under "Metadata":&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;https://nbn-resolving.org/&lt;strong&gt;html&lt;/strong&gt;/urn:nbn:de:gbv:18302-aeroJJJJ-MM-DD.01x&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;
Alternative sites that store the data given in this dataverse are:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;http://library.ProfScholz.de&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;https://archive.org/details/@profscholz&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Open an "item". Under "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" select the file (as far as available) called "ZIP" to download DataXxxx.zip. Alternatively, go to "SHOW ALL"; In the new window select next to DataXxxx.zip click "View Contents" or select URL next to "Data-list". Download single file from DataXxxx.zip.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Data Publishing&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Data publishing means publishing of research data for (re)use by others. It consists of preparing single files or a dataset containing several files for access in the WWW. This practice is part of the open science movement. There is consensus about the benefits resulting from Open Data - especially in connection with Open Access publishing.
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to link the publication (e.g. thesis) with the underlying data and vice versa.
&lt;p&gt;
General (not disciplinary) and free data repositories are:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Harvard Dataverse (this one!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;figshare (emphasis: multi media)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zenodo (emphasis: results from EU research, mainly text)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mendeley Data (emphasis: data associated with journal articles)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
