Note: an "X" in a cell indicates that the data
element is available for the designated survey component.
A blank cell indicates the data element is not available for that survey
component. For data elements that are only available for private use,
contact NSF about obtaining access to these restricted data.
Note that data from the 1993 National Survey of College Graduates is also
available on a separate CD-ROM. All the available data from this CD is included
in the on-line SESTAT 1993 NSCG public-use data file, but the CD does not follow
SESTAT variable naming conventions and does not include the detailed documentation
available for the on-line data.

Quality and other technical information related to this item:
General
For some surveys, the response for this data item was not obtained directly
from the survey form, but was instead available from an administrative
data source outside SESTAT, and is indicated by the word "SYSTEM" for
the source. In other cases, the survey contractor assigned codes to
verbatim responses. A typical example involves the location codes, either
state or country, for universities or colleges. The survey form asks
the respondent to provide the name of the university at which a degree
was earned. When the survey results are processed, the name of the
university is compared to an external lookup table containing university
names and their location codes. When a matching university name is found,
the corresponding location code becomes part of the SESTAT database.
