Dewey

Effective June 14, 2025 – Updates to Terms and Conditions

Updated: 2. NYU researchers may collaborate with researchers from other universities as co-authors, but cannot share the raw data with these individuals. These external collaborators must be active faculty or students of a university. Collaborators may not access or work with the raw data from Dewey unless they are covered under a separate Dewey agreement that includes equal or greater access to the shared data.

Obsolete: NYU's subscription also includes ten (10) total external licenses available for professors outside of NYU. These professors can come from up to three (3) different universities. These professors must (i) agree to comply with the terms of NYU's license agreement with Dewey and (ii) be part of an authorized research team with a NYU faculty member. To work with an external professor, please reach out to Jiebei Luo to submit your request.

Dewey is an academic research data platform for accessing third-party quantitative and geospatial datasets across various categories, including behavioral economics, corporate finance, marketing, real estate, public policy, urban planning, weather, and workforce management.

Dewey Data Onboarding Webinar

Dewey’s platform allows any user to login to view summaries of the data available and download samples. NYU’s subscription, which is available to all current NYU faculty, students, and researchers, allows for downloads of data included in our subscription and/or purchase additional datasets at an academic discount. Access to NYU’s Dewey subscription data requires the following steps:

1. Register: Go to https://app.deweydata.io/ and register for a Dewey account using your NYU email address (NetID@nyu.edu). You'll have immediate access to summaries and samples of all datasets in Dewey.
2. Approval: A Dewey administrator will upgrade your account with the NYU subscription and send you an email notification to alert you of the change to your account. Approval may take up to 48 hours.

1. Access to NYU’s subscription is available to current NYU faculty, students, and staff only.
2. NYU researchers may collaborate with researchers from other universities as co-authors, but cannot share the raw data with these individuals. These external collaborators must be active faculty or students of a university. Collaborators may not access or work with the raw data from Dewey unless they are covered under a separate Dewey agreement that includes equal or greater access to the shared data.
3. If NYU’s license to Dewey Data ends, users must delete any data downloaded from Dewey Data. However, data access may be extended if it is needed for a publication that was accepted for publication at the time the subscription ended or if required by a funder or open science mandate to retain the data (Dewey Data may request documented proof).
4. Users cannot compare/verify/evaluate Dewey’s data with other sources and publish those findings elsewhere.
5. Users cannot publish the data in raw form.
