Get started

  1. Navigate the LivePeople data catalog. Please look at the available datasets and documentation on the data catalog.

  2. Proposal submission. Interested researchers submit a data download request through the web form by providing the following information:

    • Names and contact information of the authors working on the dataset and their institution.
    • Description of the research proposal. Provide a description of your idea and how you plan to use the dataset.
    • Select from a list the datasets to download. On the data catalog, you can find and navigate the list of downloadable datasets and navigate the codebooks.

    The key requirements to obtain a copy of the data are the affiliation with a research institution, either private or public, the coherence between the requested data and the research proposal, and the acceptance of the Terms and License Agreement. Key licensing terms include:

    • datasets are used exclusively for research purposes;
    • redistribution of the datasets is prohibited;
    • datasets cannot be publicly shared (e.g., on a website);
    • any attempt to reverse engineer any portion of the data or to re-identify the participants is strictly forbidden and could constitute unlawful processing of personal data.

  3. Dataset download. The proposal request is evaluated by the University of Trento (UNITN), and in case of a positive response, the participants receive an email with the instructions for downloading the dataset after a few days. The requested data are shared with the participants through dedicated storage.
