These datasets originate from our data collection campaigns and research, and have been internally reviewed and processed. The Open Data is linked to our internal database, such that a download includes the most up to date data-points and reflect the current status of the data as accessible through the IPIS webmaps on the same topics. We are committed to publish Open Data that is reliable, tidy and recent, as we believe that this is can be an essential factor for a good research climate. When collecting data on a new topic, we may however choose to maintain a delay period (up to 6 months) between the publication of a report and the disclosure of the information as Open Data.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tools you can use to start working with our data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/fr\/publication\/ipis-open-data-dashboard-on-the-artisanal-and-small-scale-mining-sector-in-eastern-drc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IPIS Open Data dashboard<\/a><\/strong> on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) enables users to query and subset IPIS Open Data using various combinations of filters.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/home\/maps-data\/open-data\/open-data-faq-dictionary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Open Data FAQ &amp; Dictionary page<\/strong><\/a> helps you understand the different columns and values present in our data.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/home\/maps-data\/open-data\/open-data-getting-started-using-excel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Data &#8216;Getting Started using Excel&#8217;<\/a>\u00a0explains how to use our data in Microsoft Excel and briefly introduces some properties of the data.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/home\/maps-data\/open-data\/open-data-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Data Tutorial<\/a>\u00a0was created for more advanced data researchers and gives a more thorough introduction to the data and the possible statistics which can be computed from it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you still have questions, don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href=\"mailto:mapping@ipisresearch.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact us<\/a>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc5533 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bc5533\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"h-accessing-our-open-data\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accessing our Open Data<\/strong><\/h4><p>You can access the IPIS open datasets from our dedicated download page, which you can access by clicking the button below.
