ICPSR has recently launched a new website with a number of changes, for example in terms of search functions and deposition of data. The website has been divided into six discrete sites: find and analyze data, deposit data, membership in ICPSR, data management, the ICPSR summer program, and instructional resources. The idea of separate sites is to guide visitors directly to the pages that are relevant to the needs they have.
In addition to improved search capabilities and a simplified procedure for deposition, the Web site now contains more information on each study, improved possibilities to simultaneously compare the characteristics of multiple variables and an easier to navigate FAQ section.
For more detailed information about the changes, see the following links:
