CLOSER Discovery Alison Park, UCL Institute of Education

What is CLOSER Discovery? Search tool for longitudinal studies Search questions and variables Find the data and questions you need Go directly to the dataset or study to access the data What is CD? Online search tool that allows users to explore detailed content of eight longitudinal studies. So far, 43,000 variables and 18,000 questions from 37 sweeps spanning 60 years Why do we need this? Key obstacle to more use of longitudinal data is fact that often very hard to find out what has been covered on different studies or early rounds. Might be a marked up q/re, but not always clear how its contents relate to the existing datasets. No way of finding out if similar or the same questions have been asked on different studies, making cross-study comparisons hard.

How did we get here? Majority of the work Content enhancement DDI Lifecycle standard metadata format Content sits within metadata repository, accessed via Discovery website Taking data from q/res and getting into a standard format – eg old pdfs and paper q/res, mapping questions to variables on the dataset, rigorous checking and QA.

Using Discovery Search for free text (‘search’) or explore via drop down menu Save to lists Easiest way to start is by searching for key text. Here started typing the word ‘housing’ – various autofill options come up which you can use or ignore. Save to lists

Using Discovery Produce list of eligible items with study details Identify questions and variables Refine search by range of attributes Save search results Part of a search result page Save functionality – can save to multiple lists which you can save and download.

Using Discovery See precise question and answer wording Identify relevant questionnaire View in context of wider questionnaire Identify related variables

Using Discovery Frequency count Helpful in initial research planning stage, especially when access to dataset limited – find out if enough cases to answer your research question.

Next steps Currently in beta testing Feel free to test – www.discovery.closer.ac.uk Feedback welcome – closerdiscovery@ucl.ac.uk Full launch later this year Full training including webinars
