File formats

This page describes the file formats accepted and suitable 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).

General remarks

When preparing the file, the first row - and only the first row (!) - can be used for any kind of additional information (coder information, project notes, last updated etc.). The line must start with the character # (as if it was a comment in R).
