Summary:

Datasets--packages of data that have been gathered, structured, and documented such that they can be used for research--are a key component to doing data-driven research in the social sciences. This guide will help you to understand what datasets are and how people construct datasets. This guide also describes four common types of datasets that you may encounter when doing research--experimental datasets, survey and census datasets, observational datasets, and administrative datasets--and helps you learn how to distinguish between them. Finally, we'll talk about the difference between primary datasets and secondary datasets and when it is optimal to use each kind of dataset in your research.
