Look into Google Dataset Search

[Daniel-Mietchen]

e.g. for ethics data:

• https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch/search?query=%22consent%20form%22
• https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch/search?query=%22ethical%20approval%22
• https://toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch/search?query=%22ethics%20committee%22

Background:

• Making it easier to discover datasets (Google announcement)
• Google unveils search engine for open data (Nature News commentary)
• Google launches new search engine to help scientists find the datasets they need (Verge commentary)

Interesting Twitter thread comparing Google Dataset Search with some existing data search services:

Looks like the docid used by Google Dataset Search is not stable. For an example, see #944 (comment) , which highlights an example that is not accessible any more under the docid it had in the past. Same issue for #944 (comment) .

I asked for comment on the stability: https://twitter.com/EvoMRI/status/1055063404195598336 .

The documentation has much improved over the last few years, e.g. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/dataset .
