The Center for the Study of Public Policy is located at the University of Aberdeen and its main focus is on countries of recent democratization and development in Central and Eastern Europe. The Center aims at understanding how people are reacting to institutions of state and market, with the development of innovative social, economic and political indicators. On its website, topical analysis of Barometer data and related studies by social scientists from all over Europe and the United States are available. A good quantity of records, such as papers, reports and survey results is present. Abstracts, book descriptions, tables of contents, some sample reading and survey questionnaires are available without payment. For accessing full-text records a payment is required. Users can purchase online the desired record through a pay-per-service feature. Items are mainly in image format, except for sample pages offered in pdf. Browsing is allowed with no keyword-based search. Linking features are also scarcely developed and few connections to external sites are provided. Based on simple design, the website is quite user-friendly and provides an easy navigation to users of any expertise.
