The current HCA Data Archive system is a
simple.
Using the data set file abbreviations employed by
Carroll (as reported in his 1993 book), each data set analysis is
listed using Carroll's data set abbreviation system (e.g.,
THOR21; Thorndike, R. L., (1936). Factor analysis of social
and abstract intelligence. Journal of Educational
Psychology, 27, 231-233.). For each listing two
hyperlinks are provided.
-
Correlation matrix - when this hyperlink is clicked
the user is able to view an Excel- based copy of the correlation
matrix. Users can download this file to their hard drive,
convert it if necessary to a different file format (e.g., SYSTAT,
SPSSPC, etc.), and commence with secondary analysis of the
matrix.

-
Original publication - clicking on this hyperlink provides
the user access to a PDF copy of the original research report that
included the correlation matrix analyzed by Carroll. This PDF
file can either be viewed on-line and/or downloaded to the users
hard drive.

Icons are used to designate the status of the
archive activities for each data set. A rectangle/check
mark icon designates that both the correlation matrix and
original manuscript publication files have been posted. A
rectangle with partial shading indicates that the archive
process is only partially completed (typically either the
correlation matrix or original publication have yet to be
posted).
