The Consortium of Social Science Associations reported in January that the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) in the National Science Foundation (NSF) had released Knowledge Base, a new user resource on NCSES tools and data. The website provides robust information on how to understand and use NCSES data as well as answers to frequently asked questions and a glossary for commonly used terms. The Knowledge Base is intended to help people navigate NCSES data while simultaneously providing support in an easy and accessible way. This resource comes as NCSES works towards making their data more available for public use.

NCSES is now requesting responses to a survey intended to improve NCSES data tools. This link will take you directly to the survey.
