DEWEY (DEWEYDATA.IO)A5 · direct accessManage supplier listing

A licensing and access platform for commercial proprietary datasets redistributed to academic institutions under DOI-versioned records — the accessible asset is the curated catalogue plus the research-ready copies it holds of partner data. Flagship holding is a large consumer card-transaction panel from a partner provider: 100M+ credit/debit cards (35M+ active in the last 12 months, 14M+ monthly active), online/offline/third-party spend across 13,000+ merchants and 800+ parent companies, tagged to public tickers, with demographic, geographic and behavioural breakouts and NAICS classification. Also carries foot-traffic, web-traffic and social-sentiment partner datasets, and publishes a market map of the academic research-data market itself.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular research-ready extracts (panel and aggregate transaction files, company/ticker-level series, behavioural and demographic files, brand-level trackers), each DOI-versioned and delivered through an authenticated platform with institutional subscription access
Volume: Catalogue rather than a single store: the flagship partner dataset alone spans 100M+ cards and 13,000+ merchants with records reaching back to January 2014, and the platform holds multiple further US datasets from that provider plus additional partner sources (foot traffic, web traffic, social sentiment). Volume of the accessible holdings is therefore very large, but partitioned per-provider under separate licence terms rather than pooled.
Users: N/A as a consumer metric — access is sold by institutional subscription to universities, not registered individually. Subscriber base is undisclosed, bounded to a modest set of university libraries and research centres given an ~11-person company whose customers are researchers and librarians.
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — datasets are actively republished and versioned (the page carries an explicit superseded-version notice pointing to a newer release), and the firm continues to publish new-edition market research on the academic data market. Small headcount means breadth grows slowly even as versions increment.
Launched: ~2022-2023 (inferred from the organisational record being created in mid-2022 against no earlier public footprint, plus the current-generation site design and the 2025-dated dataset publication waves)
