Data Collections in SodaPop
Includes web-accessible data collections as well as collections accessible to PRI affiliates on our networks and on CD-ROM
Below is a complete list of electronic data collections available to PRI affiliates. The list includes datasets on PRI's UNIX network (PopNet), on CD-ROM, and via web extraction. Whenever possible, web-accessible data collections are publicly available, but some are restricted to Penn State or PRI users.
You are responsible for following the proper procedure for using secondary data on human participants in your research at Penn State. Please review the requirements for using secondary data before using any secondary data.
Web-accessible data: Many of our collections are accessible through the web. Look for the "Web-accessible" label next to the title. These are the data collections that may be publicly available.
PopNet data: PRI affiliates can also access any of the collections directly by applying for an account on our network.
CD-ROM data: PRI affiliates may borrow data CDs located in room 806 Oswald (computer lab). Please sign out CDs before removing them from the lab.
