Quality and other technical information related to this item:
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.
