Extension: Ann Cartwright's publications

While directing the Institute, Ann Cartwright was awarded a professorship at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School. She was renowned for her rigorous and meticulous methods of survey research, which she passed on to her research staff.

Research at the Institute spanned the decades of rapid developments in hardware for data and its analysis, including use of card punching and counter sorter machines (the latter was donated to the Science Museum in London where it was put on display), to SPSS on personal computers (which early on required large data files being broken up into different files as early SPSS for personal computers was limited to 1-80 columns of data per file).

The Institute’s survey methodology and findings were usually published as books, in addition to journal papers, monographs and book chapters. Most notably, these included:
