Inquiry Regarding Veraset Data Access and Dataset Merging on Dewey

Dear Dewey Support Team,

I am a researcher interested in using the Veraset dataset available on your platform, and I have two questions before proceeding:

  1. The Veraset dataset appears to be marked as "institutional license" on the platform. Could you clarify what this means in practice? Specifically, if I subscribe as an individual researcher, would I still be able to download the data, or is access restricted exclusively to institutional subscribers?

  2. Regarding the note that "Starting in 2022, home and work visits were split into separate datasets due to privacy requirements" — is there a way to merge these three datasets (movement, home visits, and work visits) back together using a shared user identifier, so as to reconstruct the pre-2022 unified format?

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Yilin
