# Dryad as a Gemini Notebook source > Open repository of curated research datasets, heaviest in biology and medicine. Each dataset's landing page and README summarize methods and variables. _Markdown version of https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/dryad — for AI and LLM crawlers. Content is identical to the web page._ --- - Site: [datadryad.org](https://datadryad.org) - Category: Data & official records - Access: free Open repository of curated research datasets, heaviest in biology and medicine. Each dataset's landing page and README summarize methods and variables. Every dataset on Dryad goes through a curation check and ships with a README describing the methods and variables behind it, so a notebook can cite what the data measured, not just that it exists. That's useful when a research question hinges on the raw numbers behind a biology or medicine finding rather than the paper's summary of them. Coverage outside those fields is thin, so it's not a general-purpose data source. ## Import into Gemini Notebook 1. Copy the link: https://datadryad.org 2. In your notebook, click Add source → Website. 3. Paste the link and confirm — several links can be pasted at once, one per line. **Tip:** Gemini Notebook is a reading tool, not a spreadsheet engine — feed it the written reports and summary pages, not raw CSVs, and ask about what the documents say. ## More data & official records sources - [World Bank Open Data](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/world-bank-open-data.md) — Development and economic indicators for every country, each with a written overview page that imports cleanly. - [IMF Data & Reports](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/imf-data-and-reports.md) — Macroeconomic outlooks and country reports — the Article IV PDFs are dense, citable source material. - [OECD Data](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/oecd-data.md) — Comparative statistics and policy reports across member economies, with strong methodology notes. - [SEC EDGAR](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/sec-edgar.md) — Every US public company filing — 10-Ks and 10-Qs make excellent grounded sources for company research. - [Our World in Data](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/our-world-in-data.md) — Long-form, sourced explainers on global trends — article pages import with their context intact. - [Baseball Savant](https://gemini-notebook-hub.online/sources/baseball-savant.md) — Statcast data for MLB — pitch tracking, exit velocity, player pages.
