Report of June 29, 2011
Prior to every SOEP data release, extensive work is done to process and prepare the data for publication. SOEP Beta Users receive a beta version of the new SOEP data in advance of the normal data release. Beta Users check the data and provide important feedback that we use in the final update of the dataset.
By becoming a Beta User, you can help us to improve the SOEP data. The precondition is that you will use the Beta Version extensively and report back to us on your results-and that you're located within the EEA countries. If you're interested in becoming a SOEP Beta User, please contact Jan Göbel (jgoebel@diw.de).
