The Data Behind The Papers Screensaver
The The Data Behind The Papers screensaver shows datasets newly deposited to Harvard Dataverse, key-less. Replication packages are most of what lands here — the numbers and code behind a published result, released so someone else can re-run it — so the DOI is drawn as the citable thing. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
