The database as well as both lists include reported and researched publications by users of DEAS and D80+. The database gives you the possibility to filter the publications according to year of publication, author, titel, project and/or type of publication.

The overview does not claim to be completed. You are a data user and do not find your publication? Please send us your missing information about your study.

It is our mission to make all studies based on our data publicly accessible. In order to achieve this goal, we additionally add DEAS and D80+ studies to SSOAR (https://www.gesis.org/ssoar/home) and Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/), if they were published with a CC-BY or CC-BY-Share Alike 4.0 license. We will inform the first authors in advance.
