Below is the list of main disciplines and subjects recognised by ESRC. If you are working within the social sciences (whether or not from within the academic sector), please choose the nearest subject(s) to your own project/study. Your answer will help us to search for examples relevant to your interests.
Please tell us in which sector you are working. This may affect the range and/or cost of datasets available to you.
Please tell us your status of employment/study.
Are you a student or employee of a UK organization? (Please note that the Geo-Refer resources are primarily geared towards the needs of UK-based researchers.)
The questions in this part are designed to help us best identify the information and guidance you require. Answer each question as far as possible in relation to your own research. If you are not sure of the answer to any question, select "Don't know".
This question helps us to understand the types of geographical referencing task(s) you need to undertake. You may check as many boxes from any part of the grid as seem relevant to your project: it is not necessary to include options from every row. If you are not yet sure exactly which options apply to you, use one or more of the "Don't know" boxes. For example, if you know that you need to produce a map, but are not sure what types of data are involved, check the "Don't know" box in the "Mapping" row.
