DataverseNL is a shared service provided by participating institutions and DANS.

It enables online storage, sharing and registration of research data, during the research period and up to the prescribed term of ten years after its completion. DataverseNL standardizes the citation of datasets to make it easier for researchers to publish their data and get credit as well as recognition for their work.

Feel free to search for datasets through the publicly available dataverses of all Dutch member institutions.

Background information

Keep me posted!

The Cognitive Neuroscience (CN) department in Maastricht combines research and education in human perception and cognition with the development of advanced methods in neuroscience. 

The Department of Methodology and Statistics of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN) works in close collaboration with the Department of Methodology and Statistics of the Faculty of Health Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML) under common leadership. Together we are a group of around 20 staff members from PhD student to Professor. We provide the statistics education in five different Bachelor programmes and various master and PhD courses in the FPN and FHML. We also give statistical advice and support in data analyses to researchers from both faculties. Initially our own statistical research focused on study design and methods of analysis for nested and longitudinal data, in particular on sample size calculations and mixed (multilevel) regression analysis. In the last years our scope has broadened to include methods for multilevel interrater agreement and reliability, multiple imputation methods for missing data, Bayesian statistics for high-dimensional data, and innovative methods for growth curve analysis and for detecting person-situation interactions.

Consultancy

The department offers statistical advice on study design (a.o. sample size) and data analysis to all researchers in the FPN, as well as support in data analysis and reporting. A single consult is offered for free. Repeated consults or support in data analysis and reporting are offered in exchange for co-authorship, sometimes a co-promotorship.

Members of the department have expert knowledge not just on standard statistical methods, but also on advanced methods such as mixed/multilevel regression, structural equations modeling (SEM), group based trajectory modeling, missing data handling, and Bayesian analyses. Software used includes SPSS, R, STATA, SAS, MLWin, MPLus and Lisrel for SEM, Matlab, JAGS and WinBUGS (Bayesian stats), and PASS (sample sizes).

For details, see the individual staff members’ pages

Researchers who consider statistical help in their data analyses, are invited and advised to consult us already in the phase of study design. In statistics, just like in health care, prevention is the better cure!

Jo Coenen (Heerlen, 1949) graduated in architecture & urban planning from the department of architecture at Eindhoven University of Technology in 1975. Following his studies, he worked until 1979 as a research assistant at the same university and established important professional relationships Europe-wide with Prof O.M. Ungers in Cologne, Prof Rob Krier in Vienna, Prof Luigi Snozzi who was then a Professor at the EPFL Lausanne, and Prof James Stirling at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, among others. In 1979, before starting his own practice in Eindhoven in 1980, he worked on the new building of the Faculty of Letters in Amsterdam under Prof Aldo van Eyck and architect Theo Bosch. After 10 years, he moved his operation to Maastricht to work on the Céramique master plan. After another 10 years, he opened a branch in Berlin to design the residence of the Dutch ambassador and to work on the Gendarmenmarkt project. This was followed by other studios in Luxembourg (2002), Amsterdam (2002), Milan (2007) and finally Bern (2012).
