I’m conducting an academic study and already have a curated list of journals, reports, and databases that contain the numerical variables I need. Your task is to extract those figures exactly as they appear, record their original citations, and hand back a clean, well-labeled dataset that is ready for statistical analysis.
I will share:
• A spreadsheet listing every source, page range, or table to consult
• A brief codebook explaining each variable
You will:
• Retrieve the requested values without omission or substitution
• Note the full reference for every datapoint (author, year, page/table) so I can verify and cite properly
• Flag any inconsistencies or missing numbers you encounter
Accuracy and traceability are essential. Ideally you already work with scholarly databases and understand how meticulous academic data collection needs to be. Familiarity with Excel, Google Sheets, or similar tools is expected; if you prefer R or Python for scraping and cleaning, that’s welcome too as long as I receive the final dataset in a widely openable format.
Once the dataset passes a quick spot-check against the sources, the job is complete. If you deliver ahead of schedule and everything aligns, I’ll have follow-up analysis tasks available.
