Tools & Software

Yale provides access to select research software for the social science community. 

Please refer to Yale’s Data-Intensive Social Science Center for a comprehensive list of software titles available to social science researchers at Yale (including Trint, previously managed by ISPS).

Statistical Tools for Experimental Research

  • STATWEB

    A free ISPS-developed tool for researchers to analyze experiments in which the outcome variable is dichotomous (e.g., voting vs. nonvoting). Credit: Donald Green & Alan Gerber

  • Randomization Tool

    The tool allows a user to upload a list and randomly assign rows in that list to up to four experimental conditions using simple random assignment. Credit: Josh Kalla

  • EGAP Shiny apps

Skills Repository

ISPS offers a centralized repository of resources to help students learn about or brush up on practical research and professionalization skills.

The repository is compiled by and for ISPS-affiliated fellows and graduate students. It aggregates useful information into tip sheets, “how to” guides, and videos. Topics include how to program a survey in Qualtrics, analyze survey results in R, transcribe videos in Python, and more.

Access is limited to the Yale community (Net ID required).

Maintained by Adora Svitak. With gratitude to Paul Lendway who compiled many of the links in the original skills repository for Yale Ph.D. students.
