How do I upload a file to the Yale Dataverse?

Answer

A single file: 

If you are uploading a single file (any format):  

In your Dataverse, click Add data / New dataset: Follow general guidelines for File Upload here:  https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.13/user/dataset-management.html(Link is external) (Link opens in new window)  

SPECIAL CASE: Stata files: 

To upload a single Stata file: If you are uploading a single Stata file, follow general guidelines for Tabular Data File Ingest here: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.13/user/tabulardataingest/index.html(Link is external) (Link opens in new window)  

To upload a Stata file in a folder: Follow guidelines for uploading to display tree view. 

Multiple files:

IMPORTANT: If you are uploading more than one file (of any format), zip the files and then upload.  

For example,  

Zipped_folder/ 

├── my_data.csv 

├── my_script.R 

├── README.md 

If you are uploading more than one file (of any format), and want to maintain folder structure and file paths, zip the files and then upload. 

For example,  

Zipped_folder/ 

├── data 

│   ├── my_data.csv 

├── analysis 

│   └── my_script.R 

├── DESCRIPTION 

└── README.md
