Current Events in the Bib

Each week's Current Events in the Bib post focuses on one publication and summarizes it, in order to draw your attention to the key role that data from ICPSR play in current scholarship. These publications are chosen from the large collection of linked citations in the ICPSR Bibliography of Data-related Literature. Current Events in the Bib posts usually highlight publications that represent a timely issue in the news or a topic trending in the social or behavioral health sciences.

It is important to note that the works highlighted in each post do not represent ICPSR's point of view. They describe others' findings based at least in part on their reuse of a wide array of ICPSR data. The Current Events in the Bib posts include examples of reuse of data released recently and data released decades ago. Researchers find both valuable when investigating issues of today.
