ICPSR's Summer Byte

The halls of ICPSR are sizzling with activity as staff teach for the Summer  
Program, advise student interns, and plan for the upcoming ICPSR Meeting!  
It's time to take a moment to share archive updates in the summer edition  
DataBytes .


ICPSR Meeting--Have You Registered?

The 2015 ICPSR Meeting starts in just over two months! With more than 17  
workshops and sessions, this biennial meeting will highlight ICPSR's core  
functions including current data collections and data-related tools and  
exciting new data projects. The meeting will also impart practical  
approaches and strategies to work with data producers to share data, write  
data management plans, steward discipline-focused repositories, and locate  
tools and resources to assist in curating and managing research data.  
Register here!


A Bounty of Fall Workshops Offered

The ICPSR Meeting features a full day of workshops on Wednesday, September  
30. Take an introductory tour through various statistical software used in  
data analysis, explore the research methods behind the metadata, learn  
about best practices for curating and managing research data, delve into  
resources to incorporate real data into the curriculum, and explore the  
delivery of ICPSR data and related resources in-depth - all in one day! See  
workshop descriptions for detailed outlines of these sessions. Spaces are  
limited--register now!

Grow your Software Skills with the Software Carpentry Workshop

ICPSR is pleased to host the popular two-day Software Carpentry workshop, a  
hands-on two-day event that covers the core skills needed to be productive  
in a small research team, including version control, data management, and  
task automation. Short tutorials alternate with practical exercises. No  
prior experience is necessary. The Software Carpentry Workshop hosted by  
ICPSR will run Monday and Tuesday, September 28-29, prior to the start of  
the ICPSR Meeting.


2015 Warren E. Miller Award and William H. Flanigan Award Winners Announced!

ICPSR is proud to announce that James S. Jackson (University of Michigan)  
and Gary M. King (Harvard University) have been named the 2015 Miller Award  
winners, and Michael D. Martinez (University of Florida) has been named the  
2015 Flanigan Award winner. Awards will be presented to each of the  
honorees at the 2015 ICPSR Meeting on Thursday, October 1. Read more about  
the awards and former award winners.

Council News: 2017/2018 Membership Fees Set

At its June meeting, the ICPSR Council set membership fees one year in  
advance as required by the ICPSR Constitution. To enable member  
institutions to plan and budget for a longer term, Council set fees for a  
period of two years.

FY2016 Invoices Due Soon

Invoices for the membership period beginning July 1, 2015, were mailed in  
May and are due on August 30. Thanks to the nearly half of members who have  
already paid! Missing your invoice? Please email us.

OR Tools: Linking to ICPSR Encouraged!

We are often asked if it is okay to link to ICPSR directly from websites.  
Our response is an enthusiastic, "Yes!" We encourage it. We suggest that  
when using in-text linking, that you use ICPSR in the text (as shown)  
and/or feel free to use our logo provided here!


OR and DR Contact Updates - Please Review!

Each year, we receive numerous updates to our OR and DR contacts - thank  
you for keeping us connected! Please take a moment to review your  
institution's contact information by visiting the member list page, finding  
your institution, and reviewing your OR and DR contact information. Need to

ICPSR Bulletin Sizzling with Summer News!

What do the ICPSR Summer Program, archiving data in Ghana, FISMA  
compliance, and cryptography all have in common? All of these activities  
are featured in the latest ICPSR Bulletin!


Announcing the Leamer-Rosenthal Prizes for Open Social Science!

The Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS) has  
launched two prizes named for pioneers who laid the foundation for  
transparency in social science. Entries are due September 13.


Data Stewardship on Display

One of the best ways ICPSR communicates the vast resources it has to offer  
is with its impactful posters, artfully designed to inform and inspire  
social scientists and data stewards at events around the world. From data  
management to open access to data curation, ICPSR has it covered. For a  
review of recent posters, see the ICPSR Poster Portfolio.


A Farewell to Summer - Interns!

After 10 weeks at ICPSR, interns are quickly putting the final touches on  
their research projects and will head back to their home institutions as  
the program wraps up on August 7. ICPSR wishes them the best of luck! ICPSR  
interns this year included: Ilse Paniagua (Cornell Unversity); Kimberly  
Gannon (Michigan State University); Cristian Nuno (University of Illinois  
at Chicago); Rebeca Willis-Conger (Reed College); and Polina Zvavitch (Ohio  
State University). See more on the ICPSR Internship Program.
