Roper Center Announcements

Published using data from the Roper Center?

If you have published using Roper Center resources, please let us know the citation for your work. We are expanding the bibliography of publications that use data from the Center to now include books.

This frequently visited web page provides a resource for public opinion researchers to quickly identify analysis that has been conducted on a wide range of topics. Some cite information on overall responses obtained from iPOLL, some are based on individual-level analyses of datasets held by the Roper Center, and others use our Presidential approval series or other indexes constructed from Roper Center data.

As the bibliography grows we will also be expanding the search and display functionality of the database.
