Statistical Research Services

Responsibilities and Objectives

The University Libraries of George Mason support both quantitative and qualitative research with two services: Statistical Research Support (SRS) and Qualitative Research Support (QAS). With quantitative research assistance, SRS provides consultation on research design, questionnaire construction, data manipulation, and data analysis (including multiple and logistic regression) among other analytic techniques. SRS can assist researchers seeking to download data sets from ICPSR or the U.S. Census Bureau. This website also provides links and directions for use of online tutorials for statistical packages it supports: SPSS, SAS and STATA.

The aptly named Qualitative Research Support service is available for consult with data collection and analysis. QAS primarily provides instruction and support for the NVivo qualitative analysis software. The staff is also able to discuss general data collection methods and analysis theory.

There is no charge for service consultations.

SRS and QAS share Room C-GIS on the ground floor of Fenwick Library’s C Wing (between Reference and Government Documents) with the Geographical Information Systems Center. The computers in this laboratory provide in-library access to the statistical software packages during normal business hours.

The Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) in George Mason’s Statistics Department also provides statistical consulting in support of research and grant submissions. Patrons may be referred to either SCC or SRS or both depending on their research needs.
