CESSDA SaW Cost-Benefit Advocacy Toolkit

This toolkit is comprised of:

• A User Guide;

• Three Factsheets (Benefits, Costs, and Return on Investment);

• Four Case Studies from Social Science Data Archives (ADP in Slovenia, FSD in Finland, LiDA in Lithuania, and UKDS in the UK);

• Two Worksheets (the Archive Development Canvas, and the Benefits Summary for a Data Archive).

In addition, the toolkit describes and links to a number of pre-existing external tools and relevant studies. There is also a mapping of the other toolkit components onto the Archive Development Canvas.
