Why
is the SOCIOMETRICS Social Science Electronic Data Library the recommended
health and social science resource?
- Each
study included in the Data Library was selected by a scientist
expert panel using criteria of scientific merit, substantive utility
and program and policy relevance. This method maximizes the usefulness
of all studies included in the Data Library for analysis, statistical
inference and reference.
- The
studies were chosen based on the National Advisory Panels' criteria
of technical quality, substantive importance to the field, potential
for secondary analysis and disciplinary balance.
- The
SOCIOMETRICS Data Library saves users time, money and effort because
it has: SAS & SPSS Data Extract Program Files, SPSS portable
files, Frequencies, Data Dictionaries and Detailed User's Guides.
- FREE
technical support.
- SOCIOMETRICS'
data archives have been used individually by thousands of students
and professionals at universities and research institutions throughout
the United States for 20 years.
- Eighty
percent (80%) of the SOCIOMETRICS Social Science Electronic Data
Library is unique and not available from any other public source
(including the ICPSR data archives at the University of Michigan
and the U.S. Government). Part of SOCIOMETRICS' charter is to
facilitate the distribution of this information.
