UK DATA ARCHIVE DOCUMENTATION

SN: 4927 - Gender Divisions and Gentrification, 1960-1992

A qualitative methods collection

-----------------------
NEW EDITION INFORMATION
-----------------------
The data for this study has now been deposited.  A new edition date has been 
created as this was previously a virtual catalogue record.


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 were made that the 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 to ensure they 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’ heading below.


Conversion of data and documentation formats
--------------------------------------------
Data: MS Word files converted to Rich Text Format (RTF).

Documentation:
All electronic and paper documentation supplied with this study is 
normally incorporated into the UKDA User Guide (in PDF format). The 
conversion programmes used are the latest versions of Adobe PDF Writer 
for electronic documentation and Adobe Paper Capture (Acrobat 'plugin' 
version) for paper documentation. Occasionally, some or all of the 
electronic documentation cannot be usefully converted to PDF (e.g. MS 
Excel files with wide worksheets) and this is supplied in other formats. 
All User Guides are fully bookmarked.
