Study File Tips

Keep in mind these tips when uploading study files to your dataverse:

• The following subsettable file types are supported:
  • SPSS sav - Versions 7.x to 16.x
  • STATA por - All versions
  • STATA dta - Versions 4 to 10
• You can add information for each file, including:
  • File name
  • Category (documentation or data)
  • Description
• If you upload the wrong file, click the Delete check box to prevent the addition of that file to your study.
  To replace a file after you upload it and save the study, first delete the file and then upload a new one.
• If you upload a STATA (.dta) or SPSS (.sav or .por) file, the file automatically becomes subsettable (that is, subset and analysis tools are available for that file in the Network). In this case, processing the file might take some time and you will not see the file listed immediately after you click Save.
• When you upload a subsettable data file, you are prompted to provide or confirm your e-mail address for notifications. One e-mail lets you know that the file upload is in progress; a second e-mail notifies you when the file upload is complete.
• While the upload of the files takes place, your study is not available for editing. It becomes available as soon as the upload is completed.
