Other Sources of Data in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences

In addition to the Annual Survey Reports that appear regularly in the Notices of the AMS, there are other sources of information about the U.S. mathematical sciences. The AMS occasionally publishes special reports on issues facing the mathematics community, and a number of federal agencies produce a range of reports and associated data sets related to the mathematical sciences along with the other science and engineering disciplines.

  • NSF's Science Resource Studies Survey Reports (SRS) designs, supports, and directs about 14 periodic surveys as well as a variety of other data collections and research projects. These surveys yield the materials for SRS staff to compile, analyze, and disseminate quantitative information about domestic and international resources devoted to science, engineering, and technology. Each year SRS produces about 30 publications.
  • The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is a non-profit, national advocacy organization whose mission is to promote women’s interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across all disciplines and employment sectors.  As part of this effort, AWIS complied a Web page providing links to graphs, tables, and gender specific data as it was collected and reported by other organizations such as the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Education Statistics.
