Data Archiving
Archiving data for dissemination and use by others is increasingly required of investigators. The STC provides faculty with the support and resources needed to archive data at centers such as the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan, including help with decisions about protection of human subjects, what to release, when to release it, documentation and codebooks.
The value of this service is twofold:
- It facilitates the data sharing and management that funding agencies increasingly require
- It makes data available to the entire scientific community—thus advancing population science and accomplishing a considerable public good.
