What is Dewey?

Dewey is a research data platform built exclusively for accessing valuable data for academic research. Our database includes products on corporate finance, real estate, public policy, workforce management, marketing, urban planning, GIS, behavioral economics, weather, and much more. We manage all communications and licensing directly with our data partners, giving them a single, straightforward outlet for reaching the academic market. Because of our model for working with vendors, Dewey is typically the only, and the most affordable, way to access data from these companies for academic research purposes.
