# Studies

Studies are linked to Amazon S3 buckets and provide data access and storage to users.

There are two types of studies available: Open Data Studies and Organization Studies. 

Open Data Studies are available to all users through the Registry of Open Data on AWS. 

Organization Studies can be private (only a single user can access) or shared across projects with multiple collaborators. Depending on your project, the studies you have access to may be empty or they may contain project-specific data. In either case, you must link studies to your workspace upon workspace creation in order to access data and save your work.
