New Resource Added to BCR LexisNexis Product List

Looking for a statistical tool that saves time, is completely interactive and can find the right answer and put it in a usable format? BCR is now offering LexisNexis Statistical DataSets, a web-based research solution, that can do all this and more.

LexisNexis' new Statistical DataSets provides fast and easy access to more than 750 million data points from licensed and public domain datasets within an easy-to-use interface. Scan the contents of a collection, select subjects and variables of interest and view data in side-by-side tables and charts in 20-, 30- and even 100-year time series. Findings are:

  • Customizable — All of the interface components work in sync with one another to allow you to build your own table and/or chart based on the statistical datasets you are interested in.
  • Interactive — The interface is interactive, versatile and easy to use.
  • Instant — Just click on the data you need and the table and chart instantaneously display in the Data Display panel.
  • Accurate and timely — Data are often available on the day of release.
  • Comprehensive — Your results are comprehensive sources and datasets. You can compare datasets from numerous sources, both public and proprietary, and display the most recently available data.
  • Easy — This new tool makes statistical correlation easy. Because LexisNexis Statistical DataSets makes data from many sources available within a single interface, you can select two or more variables and view them in relation to one another, a correlation capability not found in any other product.
  • Analytical — Perform basic statistical analysis of the results. Create a new column in a table or a new line in a trend chart to show rankings, the ratio of one value to another, percent change, etc. The column editor contains 18 buttons that perform different mathematical functions.
  • Printable and downloadable — Print data in any one of several display modes, capture your data in a PDF or download the data in Excel or comma-delimited format.

LexisNexis Statistical DataSets is available as a module within the LexisNexis Statistical, or it can be purchased separately. For more details, visit the BCR product webpage. For questions about pricing, subscriptions and payment, contact BCR's Maura Hadaway (mhadaway@bcr.org).
