As of January 2023, the SDC Platinum database has been integrated into Workspace. The standalone version of SDC Platinum will no longer be available! Please note that from now on we have access to all modules of SDC (formerly limited to three modules). To get access to the integrated version of SDC, you will need a LSEG Workspace account.
WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) requires each user to register for an individual WRDS account. Every Tilburg University student or staff member can apply for an individual WRDS account by filling out the form on the WRDS website. When the account is granted, you will be able to access WRDS from anywhere with your username and password.
All Bachelor's students who apply for a WRDS account, please choose a Masters Students account when asked to select an account type.
WRDS launches Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Wharton has upgraded WRDS account security by utilizing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) by Duo Security.
2FA adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (such as your phone or another mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password. The simplest way to use WRDS 2FA is by using the Duo 2FA app, available for IOS, Android and Windows Phone.
When you login in WRDS, you will see a notification about the 2FA launch. You will know when you need to register a device for 2FA if, when you log in to WRDS, a message appears alerting you that you need to enroll. In your account pages, you can also check your WRDS 2FA by Duo - Enrollment Status.
From 3 April 2023, SSH access will also require 2FA.
WRDS Class Accounts do not require 2FA at this time.

Orbis is an online database that you can simply access by going to this website. Up to 8 users can work simultaneously with the database. Therefore, it can happen that you will be temporarily unable to access the database as the maximum number of users has been reached. If this is the case, please try again later.
Access to Orbis is also available via WRDS.
