=================================================== ** ** NEPS STARTING COHORT 1 - RELEASE NOTES a.k.a CHANGE LOG ** changes and updates for release NEPS SC1 4.0.0 ** (doi:10.5157/NEPS:SC1:4.0.0) ** =================================================== * Known Issues * - a data manual is yet to be published =================================================== * Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 4.0.0 * =================================================== General: - meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate - additional wave 4 has been incorporated into the data =================================================== * Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 3.0.0 * =================================================== General: - meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate - additional wave 3 has been incorporated into the data pParent: - the concept of reflecting migrational background in NEPS SUFs has been improved in order to also represent migrants in 3.75th generation; thus, the older variables on migrational background [p400500_g1,p400500_g2,p400500_g3] in the pParent dataset have been renamed using the "v1" suffix [p400500_g1v1,p400500_g2v1,p400500_g3v1], and the new ones have been introduced xDirectMeasures: - For 49 observations (27 from wave 1 and 22 from wave 2), no information in xDirectMeasures is available; in version 2.0.0, these cases had been coded 0 in all competency variables and therefore remained in dataset xDirectMeasures; starting from version 3.0.0, these cases have consequently been erased from xDirectMeasures. - For wave 3, parent-child-interaction had been measured (again), but will not be published within this release. The parent-child-interaction-data will be likely available with release 4.0.0. =================================================== * Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 2.0.0 * =================================================== General: - translation for all meta data (variable and value labels, question texts, etc) have been revised and completed - meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate - additional wave 2 has been incorporated into the data pParent: - the variable set containing information from the multiple-response question "Birth complications" had been erroneously named [p529101] through [p529106] in version 1.0.0; this conflicts to other variable names in NEPS Starting Cohorts 2 and 3; the battery has been renamed to [p529110] through [p529115]
