Nordicana D

An online longitudinal dataset collection from the Centre for Northern Studies, freely accessible to researchers and users worldwide.

Our Mission

Published by the CEN — Centre for Northern Studies since 1964, Nordicana publishes research results such as northern symposia, lexicons, monographs, essays or theses.

The CEN Network yields a wealth of data and the demands from CEN researchers and from external users for subsets of these data are increasing. Consequently, the CEN has decided to implement the collection Nordicana D.

The Nordicana D collection, available exclusively in electronic format on the web, is freely accessible to CEN researchers and to all users interested in CEN's work. It facilitates the management of datasets and ensures the longevity of CEN's research and data collection results.

How Nordicana D Works

Raw data, already published, are available in this collection but are constantly updated. Unpublished data are also available.

Each issue is published in French and in English, and is indexed via an assigned Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Each issue contains data sets and extensive metadata that explain the origin of the data, the format of the data, the history of updates via different version numbers, and the format that should be adopted to cite the data. An issue may be updated with new data for example, will have a new version number, but will retain the same DOI.

You will find on this site, complete metadata, links to download the data and information on how to properly cite the data available on Nordicana D. We strongly suggest that you use the most recent data available.
