UK DATA ARCHIVE DOCUMENTATION


4352 - Shyness and Children's Vocabulary Scores, 2000


Data Archive processing standards
---------------------------------
The data were processed to the UK Data Archive's 'B' standard. A 
substantial series of checks was carried out to ensure the quality of 
the data and documentation. Firstly, checks made were that number of 
cases and variables matched the depositor's records. Secondly, logical 
checks were performed on a sample of 30 +10% of the remaining nominal 
(categorical) variables had values within the range defined (either by 
value labels or in the depositor's documentation). Thirdly, any data or 
documentation that breached confidentiality rules were altered or 
suppressed to preserve anonymity.

All notable and/or outstanding problems discovered are detailed under 
the Data and documentation problems below.


Conversion of data and documentation formats
