The Challenge – Hoards of Data & Metadata
How does one make sense of:
• 8,200 studies
• 68,700 datasets
• 585,000 files
• Millions of variables
• 62,500 bibliographic citations
Data Tools to Find & Analyze Data
The Study Home Page
It’s really a searchable database . . .
containing over 62,500 citations of known published
and unpublished works resulting from analyses of
data archived at ICPSR
. . .that can generate study bibliographies
associating each study with the literature about it
. . . Included in the integrated search
on the ICPSR Web site
The Bibliography of Data-related Literature
Demonstrating the Impact of Research
The Social Science Variables Database at ICPSR
Enables ICPSR users to:
• Search & Compare Variables across
datasets
• Assists in:
– Data discovery
– Comparison/harmonization projects
– Data harvesting & data analysis
– Question mining for designing new research
– Research methods & substantive courses
instruction

– Bibliography of Data-Related Literature
– SDA
• Additionally, in partnership with teaching faculty, ICPSR has
developed:
– Short Exercises – the DDLGs
– Online teaching modules
– Online tutorials
– Student research opportunities
Bringing Data Into the Classroom
Online Modules
Research Opportunities for Students
– Research paper
competitions -- a
research journal
experience & cash
prizes!
– Paid student internships
focusing on
investigating social
sciences research
Data Services
ICPSR Data Hosting Services
From Full-Service Archives To Al a Carte Data
Management
• Data (website) hosting
• Preservation
• Data Sharing & Impact
• Data Outreach &
Engagement
• Data security & tracking
The Statement Heard Round the
Research World:
• The National Science Foundation has released a new
requirement for proposal submissions regarding the
management of data generated using NSF support. Starting in
January, 2011, all proposals must include a data management
plan (DMP).
• The plan should be short, no more than two pages, and will be
submitted as a supplementary document. The plan will need to
address two main topics:
– What data are generated by your research?
– What is your plan for managing the data?

Data Services in Development
Secure Data Services - Restricted-use Data
• Potential increase in demand for data
management services as a result of
grant/contract requirements
• Increase in demand for processing, analysis, and
distribution of sensitive data
• Resulted in improvements focused on secure
computing and data sharing environments at
ICPSR
Three Avenues of Security
• Public-Use (on demand) and Restricted-Use (data
use agreement)
• Secure Computing in the Cloud
• Onsite ‘physical’ data enclave

Notas do Editor

  1. As of September 2012, over 68,700 datasets (over 585,000 files) available for download. As a sense of volume of downloads, total downloads for FY 2012 = over 1,172,304 datasets downloaded/accessed (4,765,641).Also in FY2012 – about 35,345 (19,600 members) MyData accounts downloaded/accessed something – were active.
  2. ICPSR supports students, faculty, researchers, and policymakers.
  3. Archiving and sharing data is a global activity.
  4. There are a number of niche archives. These archives tend to focus on a substantive area or topic and put really cools tools around them.
  5. Downloads for the period July 2011- June 2012
  6. We keep talking about “the download.” What’s in a download anyway?First: Many PDFsA copy of the actual questionnaire – it’s not pretty!A copy of the codebook – much more attractive & it contains frequencies!Description & Citation: essentially, the data about the data (metadata) as well as the data citation you are to use when citing the dataset as a source.Second: The actual data file(s)System files for SAS, SPSS, & StataASCII files – straight-up data file and/or Setups files for SAS, SPSS, Stata
  7. As you seen, ICPSR doesn’t just deliver data. We surround that data with tools and services that support its use and interpretation.
  8. This is the front office for ICPSR employees.
  9. This is the front office for our customers!FIND & ANALYZE DATA: this is the page where you can find several tools to help you find/browse data (you can also use the search box in the center of the Find Data page). The Search/Compare Variables link enables you to examine and compare variables and questions across studies or series.Find publications enables you to search (or submit!) citations for works that use ICPSR data as part of analysis.Resources for students covers information on the research paper competition and our paid internships.You’ll find links to our thematic collections (also known as our special topic archives or projects) in the left-hand pane. MEMBERSHIP IN ICPSR: this page contains all the information about the consortium (history, mission, staff overview, careers, and contact information). This area contains the list of members and a list of partners. You’ll find our subscribed Email Lists here – important if you are interested in our webinars, summer program, or other news about the consortium.

  10. The Study Home Page is also a great “search” strategy. Click into any study, and you will find all the information we have been able to gather about the study.Use the Summary for a quick review, then click into the “view details” to understand the full scope of the research – methodology, survey type, sampling, scope, geography, subject terms used to tag the dataset, PI, and much more. You’ll also find a link to all of the journal articles, reports, and presentations we’ve been able to link to the dataset (where the data was used as part of the analysis within the article). This is a great way to understand whether this data is for you.
  11. What’s in the collection?Resources using data in the ICPSR holdings as the primary data sourceResources using ICPSR data in a comparison with the primary dataset investigatedResources "about" an ICPSR dataset or study series.
  12. Know of reports, articles, publications connected to our data? Contact us!
  13. Tool for teachingResearch Methods:Concept operationalizationEffect of question wording, context, and answer categories on variable distributionsSubstantive classes:Cultural / social changes reflected in different question wordings, or elicited answers (longitudinal or time series data)Current content:2,602 studies (48 percent of ICPSR holdings with data and setups)6,493 datasetsApprox. 1.7 million variablesContinues to grow by includingAll new releases, if suitableRetrofits as made available by small-scale projects

  16. Instructional materials are another way to “share” research data – in addition to educating the next generation.
  17. Exploring Data Through Research LiteratureDesigned to teach quantitative research methods to undergraduates in a different way. Integrates ICPSR bibliography of data related literatureinto teaching students how make their way from ideas to empirical work to literature and back. Suitable for both research methods and other substantive courses requiring empirical researchhttp://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/EDRL/index.jspInvestigating Community and Social CapitalUses 3 data sets including the General Social Survey, DDB Needham Life Style Surveys, and State-level data to reproduce findings from Robert Putnam’s Bowling AloneTeaches how to browse codebooks, devise and execute crosstabulations, and use summary statistics Helps teach replication of scientific evidence http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/ICSC/index.htmlSETUPSUses the 2008 National Election Study to understand voting behavior (2004 also available)Provides substantive background, terms and descriptions, and embedded exercises to allow users to get through simple exploratory analyses of political behavior.
