<p class="gmail-msonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">But only kind of. ICPSR puts massive amounts of work into the curation of the data they charge for. If you just want to upload some data yourself (as is
the case for DataPort – data becomes available immediately after submission) you can do this for free (and have it freely accessible) through OpenICSPR or many other services like Zenodo, Harvard Dataverse, figshare. The only selling point appears to be the
high size limit of 2TB and the name.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
