Research Data Infrastructure - a portal for anyone who wants to understand Russia through data

Imagine a platform where tens of thousands of data sets about the state, society, economy and even biological processes are collected. Where can you find information about small businesses, fires, squirrels or household incomes. Such a project exists - it's calleddata. rcsi. science, and it works as a central point of access to open data for researchers, students, analysts and simply curious people.

A website is not just a directory. This is a whole community. Some people come here to get data on education or health care, others to analyze the structure of entrepreneurship in different regions of the country. Some want to find out what factors influence the employment of the unemployed, others want to study geodata on ecology. And there are those who simply want to experiment with information about proteins. Everyone can be here.

Here's what's especially nice: access is open to everyone. Yes, you can download data without any hassle if you register. And yes, registration is not a formality. It opens the door to real possibilities. You get the opportunity not only to look, but also to use the data for your research, presentations, and scientific papers. The platform offers not just raw numbers, but machine-readable formats that are already prepared for analysis.

What's new in the catalog?

Every time you go to the site, there's something new there. For example, we recently added a register of small and medium-sized businesses for 2016-2024. It contains not only the names of companies, but also income, expenses, number of employees - everything with geographical coordinates. Imagine: you can see exactly where entrepreneurial activity is growing in Russia. It's powerful.

Another interesting set is about light industry enterprises. There are also a lot of details here: location, financial indicators, personnel. There are about five thousand records, and they are relevant until 2023. There is even information on biological structures - a database of protein motifs, which can be useful to scientists from various fields of medicine.

And of course, there is data on natural fires. The Ministry of Emergency Situations shares information about fire points, types of combustion and dates of incidents over the past decade. These data can be useful both for environmental research and for disaster forecasting.

Why is this important?

Many people wonder: why is such a platform needed at all? Simply because without open data it is impossible to conduct scientific research that affects real life.If an expert wants to understand why people don’t find work, he must have access to data on employment, income, and education. Without this, any conclusions will be just guesses.

And if we want to improve the healthcare system or the economy, we need to look at the numbers. And not just official reports, but those that can be processed, analyzed, and visualized. This is where real science begins.

How to become part of the community?

You don’t have to be a professor to start working on this site. You just need to register. After registration you get access to the entire catalog. You can download data and use it for your projects. And also - join the Telegram channel. In it you can learn how to work better with data, where to find support, and who has already done similar research.

There is even a wiki - detailed instructions for working with the platform. Everything is explained there simply, step by step. Even a beginner can handle it. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. The main thing is to start.

What is the news saying?

The site regularly publishes articles and announcements of new datasets. For example, quite recently a paper was published on the factors influencing the employment of the unemployed. This is not just text - it is the result of analyzing real data from the INID system. Such publications show that the platform is actually used by scientists, and not just lying idle.
