National Sci­ence Foun­da­tion: Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Statistics

http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/

Schol­ars, jour­nal­ists and mem­bers of the gen­eral pub­lic will have a field day with the National Sci­ence Foundation’s Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Sta­tis­tics web­site. Vis­i­tors will note that the data con­tained within the site includes pub­li­ca­tions, work­ing papers, data spread­sheets, and analy­ses divided into broad areas that include “Edu­ca­tion”, “Fed­eral Gov­ern­ment”, “Indus­try”, “Inter­na­tional”, and “Social Dimen­sions”. Users can delve deeper into these broad areas and come up with related pub­li­ca­tions, pol­icy briefs, and so on. Near the bot­tom of the page, vis­i­tors can look over the “New Releases” area for new reports on fed­eral sci­ence and engi­neer­ing sup­port to uni­ver­si­ties, research expen­di­tures, and the eth­nic­ity and gen­der makeup of fed­eral sci­en­tists and engi­neers. Finally, vis­i­tors can also sign up to receive their RSS feed.”
