All users must acknowledge the Research School of Social Sciences for financial support of the survey. For articles in academic journals, this should be in the first footnote; for other types of publications, in a corresponding appropriate place. A suitable form would be..
"Data collection was supported by a grant from the Research School of
Social Sciences, the Australian National University."
All users of these data must name the survey in text and acknowledge the principal investigators for the basic design and data collection. This citation must be a reference in text in conventional academic form, supported by an entry in the bibliography. This allows us to trace use of the survey through the Social Science Citation Index.
For the social sciences, a suitable form would be...
[citation in text]
... data used are from the National Social Science Survey, Inequality-I:

Some modules in the survey were designed by specific authors, or sponsored by outside sponsors, and so require specific citation in addition to that for the survey as a whole. These questions are noted in the codebook, and the specific citations given there. The citation should be a reference in text in conventional academic form, supported by an entry in the bibliography. Detailed bibliographic citations are given at the relevant point in the codebook above.
Use of these data (in file "AJS93ALL.ZIP", described in section 10 of the codebook) requires citation to the article in which we originally developed and used the spss that makes these variables, and also to the original investigators for each country that you use:
