+## Finding research data
+
+To find research data you can try [DataCite](https://commons.datacite.org), [Google Dataset Search](https://datasetsearch.research.google.com), and [DataONE](https://www.dataone.org). Many of the installations of Dataverse around the world make their data [searchable](https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/discoverability.html) in these platforms.
+
+Alternatively, you can search [Dataverse installations](https://iqss.github.io/dataverse-installations/) individually.
+
+Some Dataverse installations harvest metadata from each other (and non-Dataverse data repositories), making datasets more discoverable across the Dataverse network and the broader data-sharing ecosystem. [Harvard Dataverse](https://dataverse.harvard.edu) is one of these.
