Research Spotlights

Research Spotlights

Created by ICPSR Bibliography staff members, using the ICPSR Bibliography of Data-related Literature as their source, Research Spotlights are short reports that synthesize the findings in academic research about one or several related topics. Each report contains links to the publications and the underlying ICPSR studies, where the data used in the publications can be accessed.

The works highlighted do not represent the Research Spotlight author’s nor ICPSR’s point of view. Research Spotlights are not intended to draw conclusions, nor are they comprehensive literature reviews, due to the extensive existing scholarship. Their main purpose is to show how scholars are using data available from ICPSR in their primary and secondary analyses.
