Presentation in Hall

The GREO Evidence Centre is a digital library of evidence on gambling and related harms. It was established as part of GREO's mandate to translate and exchange cutting-edge knowledge in the field of gambling research to support evidence informed decision-making about gambling and potential harm of gambling.

Services

The Evidence Centre datasets are housed on Canadian servers at Scholars Portal at the University of Toronto and hosted on Dataverse, a platform technology designed at Harvard University. This online system allows researchers to publish, share, describe, and preserve their research data assets for discovery and reuse by others. Features of the platform include a user interface for submitting, maintaining, and downloading research materials, search and browse functionality, a metadata schema, usage statistics, time-stamped submissions, and persistent identifiers for each study. The service operates according to a set of policies, which are available on our website. This consists of the Depositor Agreement, which includes the Submission, Withdrawal, and Preservation policies, and the Terms of Use Agreement.

Submission Services

Research datasets in the field of gambling and gambling related problems may be submitted for inclusion in the Evidence Centre (EC). Depositing datasets in the EC is a facilitated process. Actual upload of datasets to the EC will be performed by GREO staff. Staff will work with the Depositor to ensure that:

  • Data, required metadata, and supplemental documentation are included in the submission;
  • Appropriate access levels to datasets are selected and applied; and
  • Embargos are applied as required.

See the Depositor Agreement including Schedule B: Submission Policy, Schedule C: Withdrawal Policy, and Schedule D: Preservation Policy for more information.

Access Services

The Evidence Centre (EC) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding planned maintenance periods. Users can search, discover, and download datasets from the EC. Each dataset has a persistent identifier (handle) allowing it to be cited by data users. Access restrictions may apply to datasets; please refer to the Terms of Use information of a dataset for specific access information.

See the Terms of Use Agreement for more details related to the use of datasets in the Evidence Centre.

Preservation Services

The Evidence Centre (EC) will provide long-term access to datasets. All datasets are housed in a secure environment that conforms to industry best practices and maintains data integrity and longevity. Regular backup of the datasets is performed by Scholars Portal. See Schedule D: Preservation Policy of the Depositor Agreement for more information.

Support

User support is provided by our staff. Core hours of support are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time. Any problems or queries should be emailed to dataset@greo.ca.
