| Re: | ANES Announcement: Release of the ANES waves of the 2008-2009 Panel Study |
| Date: | January 30, 2009 |
An "Advance Release" of the 2008-2009 Panel Study dataset and documentation is now available for download from the ANES website. This release includes the data from the ANES waves completed in 2008.
To download the dataset, or to visit the study page and learn more about the survey, please visit our Data Center at: http://www.electionstudies.org/studypages/download/datacenter_all.htm. The 2008-2009 Panel Study appears in the blue box to the left of the page, just under the ANES Cumulative Data File.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The dataset and all accompanying documentation currently available for the 2008-2009 Panel Study are an "Advance Release." The advance release data allow interested users to analyze political data collected so far, with the caveats that the advance release data are preliminary and are subject to revision and the documentation is not complete. Standard ANES data quality control procedures have not been completed with these data, so users should expect to find errors and inconsistencies in the data file.
If you identify any errors or inconsistencies, if you have questions, or if we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us by email to: anes@electionstudies.org
The ANES is a collaboration of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan and the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRiSS) at Stanford University, with funding by the National Science Foundation.
