| Description |
Available on campus only. "ICPSR maintains and provides access to a vast archive of social science data for research and instruction... Are you interested in determining the average age at which men versus women begin smoking? What if you need to know whether age at marriage differs between your region of the country and other regions, or about differences in political attitudes based on age, gender, education, race, or ethnicity? These and countless other questions can be answered by studies in the ICPSR data holdings. Please note that ICPSR does not provide publications, reports, or ready-made statistics. What we do supply are the numeric raw data used to create publications, reports, and figures. To view findings that others have published, select the "related literature" link for a given data set on the search results page or at the top of each study description. This will take you to a bibliography of publications based on that data, with links to online reports, when available." New users will need to create a MyData account to permit access to new features in the future such as order history and notification when data that interests you become available. Also, if you are from an ICPSR Direct member institution(which CNU is), creating an account permits you to download data available only to ICPSR members. Users can locate data through ICPSR thematic categories or by using the thesaurus (subject terms, geographic names, and personal names.) The Special Topics Archive is available with Web sites devoted to discipline-related subject areas such as aging, criminal justice, education, health, and substance abuse. |
