International Social Survey Programme (ISSP)
(Access: ISSP Web Site)
The ISSP is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. It brings together pre-existing social science projects and coordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies. The ISSP researchers especially concentrate on developing questions that are meaningful and relevant to all countries, and can be expressed in an equivalent manner in all relevant languages.
Basic analysis features, online documentation, and download facilities for the ISSP are made available by GESIS-ZA via ZACAT.
