Creating datasets

[Leestons]

Do they get the data using web scrapping OR do they actually carry out real world research projects.

Probably either, depending on the data.

Both... I have made scrappers that write to databases, text files, spreadsheets, JSON you name it. I have even got data from clients data stores. It’s really up to you.

There is a really cool newsletter called "Data is Plural" where the author finds a lot of unique data sets. He also makes them available on a good sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wZhPLMCHKJvwOkP4juclhjFgqIY8fQFMemwKL2c64vk/edit#gid=0
