Nine waves of Understanding Society Innovation Panel data now available

Understanding Society has released its ninth Wave of Innovation Panel (IP) data, which includes a new series of experiments and innovations.

The Innovation Panel dataset contains experiments and methodological tests selected through an annual competition. The next competition will be launched in November 2017.

As with prior waves, in the IP9 dataset there are also methodological experiments involving the value of respondent incentives and mixed-mode data collection.
