Data Repositories for Eye-Tracking Research

At SR Research, we are keen to support open-access publishing as well as the sharing and distribution of research data. To play a small part in the promotion of free and accessible research, we have a blog post listing open-access journals that regularly publish eye-tracking research. Here, we provide a list of data repositories that allow researchers to store and share eye-tracking data.

 

Data Repositories Lists

There are thousands of data repository sites, so it can be easy to get lost in the weeds when searching for relevant ones. Websites exist that curate data repositories. FAIRsharing has a list of over 1000 data repositories, and re3data’s list is over 2000. Although these resources can be useful, at this point, the underlying descriptions of the repositories do not allow for complex and effective searches, so it’s not easy to track down specific repositories with eye-tracking data.

 

Data Repositories with Eye-Tracking Data

Here we highlight data repositories with a larger selection of eye-tracking data sets (as compared to some repositories which have one or two, e.g., openICPSR, GIN, etc.). If we’ve missed something that obviously belongs on this list, please let us know!
