Policy on Access to ANES Data

New Policy on Access to ANES Panel Study Data 

Pilot Study Reports

ANES Pilot Studies are designed to test both new methods and new substantive instrumentation. The experiments provide suggestions for future improvements to the ANES time series studies. The Pilot Study Reports tend to focus more on substantive questions than on methodological issues.

Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in these materials are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of ANES or its funding organizations.

Technical Reports

ANES Technical Reports, commissioned on an ad hoc basis, examine a variety of methodological issues related to the ANES surveys. The Technical Reports tend to focus more on methodological issues than on substantive questions.

Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in these materials are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of ANES or its funding organizations.

The ANES Bibliography

The ANES Bibliography is a work in progress. It currently includes over 7,000 citations that make use of ANES data or questions.

The Bibliography is offered as a research and teaching resource that should be useful for many different purposes. Given the importance of ANES data in the fields of electoral politics, public opinion, and political participation, the Bibliography should be an excellent resource for researchers, teachers, students, and other professionals interested in research in those areas. It is not, of course, a comprehensive bibliography in those fields because only research relying at least in part on ANES data is included.

ANES Conferences
