State Indicators is an easy-to-use statistical database of state research performance measures in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, for each of the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.
Based on unique and authoritative publication and citation statistics from Thomson Scientific, State Indicators provides policymakers, economists, and research analysts in the Department of Economic Development, Department of Tech Transfer, U.S. federal government agencies, and consulting firms with valuable analytical data from 1981 through the current year.
