Data Collection Notes:

These data are part of ICPSR's annual reporting activities. ICPSR began producing data release and data dissemination statistics as separate data collections in 2006. Prior to 2006, these data were included as appendices in the ICPSR Annual Report for each year. Users who wish to access the pre-2006 statistics should consult ICPSR ANNUAL REPORTS (ICPSR 4006).

Extent of Processing:  ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

• Performed consistency checks.
