File formats

This page describes the file formats accepted for upload to WeSIS. Two templates -- one for monadic and one for dyadic data -- are stored in "Seafile > WeSIS > Data Templates" (each as a csv- and a xlsx-file).

In every file, the first line will be used for metadata. The line must start with the character '#' (as if it was a comment in R).
