Databanks help to share the results of experiments and measurements, play an important role in shaping the academic environment and in the development of specialists.
Let's talk about datasets obtained using expensive equipment (the sources of these data are often large international organizations and scientific programs, most often related to the natural sciences), and about state data banks.

- a state project in the field of open data that is well known to habrazhiteli. Its Moscow counterpart is . Of the foreign options, it is worth noting - an open data platform from the US government ( with filters).
is a project of the Moscow State University that combines databases with statistical information on the social and economic situation in the country, as well as publications from government and scientific sources. The data are taken both from Rosstat and from studies conducted on the basis of Moscow State University. The resource can be used without prior registration, but for full access you will need to submit an application.
All-Russian Geological Institute. Karpinsky. Information about the natural resources of the country, collected during the existence of the institution, was applied to digital maps. The site interface allows you to match OpenStreetMap or J. Maps with a number of additional. layers with information about the magnetic field, minerals, etc.
β a portal for searching Earth observation data from satellites and drones of various types. The archive of the resource is collected by forces Worldwide. To find the information you are interested in, just select the desired area on the map or enter keywords into the search.

is a platform for searching open data on energy use, in particular on renewable energy resources and new technologies in the industry. The site is organized on the principle of a wiki - the reliability of the data is checked .
β a library containing data from 22615 experiments with elementary particles. Together with the CINDA (Computer Index of Nuclear Reaction Data) and IBANDL (Ion Beam Analysis Data Library) databases, it is one of the largest nuclear physics data banks. Managed by Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US, but contains experiments from around the world - including .
β environmental data archive. Here you will have access to twenty petabytes of ocean and geophysical data, as well as information about the atmosphere and coastal zones. In particular, there is information about the depth of the ocean, the surface of the Sun, records of sedimentary rocks and satellite images. To find the desired dataset, you can use .
is a repository for archeological data retrieval operated by the University of York. There are old and new scientific publications, information about excavations and artifacts. Three categories are offered for searching: ArchSearch, Archives and Library. The first contains data on excavations and artifacts. In the second - an archive of all downloaded materials. In the third - publications from journals, books and research. There are search options by countries, eras and types of objects.
- this service helps to search for information for scientific research on a data bank of 80 files. Research and articles from the bank can be used under license . The topics of materials include different fields of knowledge, but most of the research is related to medicine and computer science. According to internal , in 2018, site users were most interested in whale songs, marine life's temperature tolerance, and neural activity in the human temporal lobe.

- A DNA library provided by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), as well as databanks in Europe and Japan. Available in a special search engine, using the tool or .
- a database of compounds and bioassays, which contains the US National Center for Biotechnology Information. There is a web interface with advanced search (example about ). The data is distributed under public domain rights.
is a bank of images of proteins and nucleic acids, the history of which dates back to 1971. Initially developed as an internal project of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, it has since grown into the largest international database of its kind. Most academic journals related to biochemistry oblige authors to post protein models obtained in the course of research on the site.
- a database that combines many datasets of various scientific projects. Includes β a program for analyzing domains in protein sequences based on machine learning technologies and a dataset of 1200 models. Supported by the European Bioinformatics Institute.
