New Resource: Online Analysis of Ethnic & Social Science Research Data

In an effort to enhance access to data-based research studies conducted by UCI researchers and others, the Libraries have made selected ethnic and social science datasets from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) available to UCI users for online data analysis. The online analysis tool (SDA or Survey Documentation & Analysis) allows users to cross-tab selected variables and easily run statistics and create customized charts (in color) as well as related documentation. This is especially useful for students seeking to understand a particular research study.
