Dear CSES user community,

We write with two announcements of interest to you:

1. The CSES Module 3 questionnaire is now available. To view or download the file, visit the CSES website and click on the “Collaborators” link to the left of the page.

The availability of Module 3 means that data collection for Module 2 is now complete. Future data collections should make use of the new Module 3 questionnaire except by prior agreement with the Secretariat.

To be included in the final CSES Module 2 dataset, collaborators must deposit their data and all related materials with the Secretariat on or before the end of this year. The deadline is December 31, 2006. We must also receive all necessary documentation (questionnaires, Macro Reports, and Design Reports) by that date.

2. If you will be attending the 20th IPSA World Congress in Fukuoka, Japan, we are pleased to report that CSES will be featured in these two panels from the Japanese Political Science Association (JPSA) Session:

  • New Directions of Electoral Studies: Electoral Behavior and Political Attitudes with ANES & CSES Data (Monday July 10, 2006)
  • Political Behavior within Institutions: Comparative Perspectives Using Comparative Study of Electoral Systems Data (Wednesday July 12, 2006)

We have provided additional details about these panels below my signature in this email. When you arrive in Japan, please review the final conference program to verify the dates, times, and locations, as they are subject to change.

Best personal regards,
-Dave
