This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project from Sociometric Corporation will establish the Archive of Exemplary Behavioral Science Research Instruments (BSRI). The BSRI Archive will contain searchable, edit-ready, and print-ready machine-readable versions of approximately 200 demographic, behavioral, and health science instruments used to collect the exemplary quantitative research data in the Sociometrics Data Archives and to document the effectiveness of the exemplary social intervention programs in the Sociometrics Program Archives. Norms for the scales and items comprising the BSRI instruments will be included in BSRI in the form of scale means and standard deviations and item frequencies or response distributions calculated from the linked data archives at Sociometrics. The approximately 200 instruments and 165,000 constituent items and scales that will comprise BSRI have been selected and acquired by Sociometrics for public use over a period of 14 years under the guidance of eight National Advisory Panels of scientist-experts. There will be three commercial product sets comprising BSRI: a book series, a CD-ROM series, and an Internet suite accessible on Socionet, Sociometrics World Wide Web server. Phase I will create prototypes for these three product sets. That Behavioral Science Research Instrument (BSRI) is characterized by comprehensive substantive scope, availability in multiple formats, and easy-to-use interface make it a natural product for several thousand institutional target markets serving several hundred thousand individual users. Examples are: (1) academic markets, including social science departments, social and health science professors and researchers working in the topical areas covered by BSRI, main libraries at colleges and universities, and medical libraries in universities; (2) policymaking and business markets, such as members of the Association of Public Data Users and employees of the federal and state Depts. of Health and Human Services; and (3) general information resource markets, such as libraries serving the general public.

来自Sociometric Corporation的这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将建立示范性行为科学研究工具档案（BSRI）。 BSRI档案将包含约200种人口统计学、行为学和健康科学工具的可搜索、可编辑和可打印的机器可读版本，用于收集社会计量学数据档案中的示例性定量研究数据，并记录社会计量学项目档案中示例性社会干预项目的有效性。 构成BSRI工具的量表和项目的标准将以量表平均值和标准差以及根据Sociometrics的链接数据档案计算的项目频率或响应分布的形式纳入BSRI。 在八个国家科学家专家咨询小组的指导下，社会计量学在14年的时间里选择并获得了将构成BSRI的大约200个仪器和165，000个组成项目和量表，供公众使用。 BSRI将有三套商业产品：一套丛书、一套光盘和一套可在Socionet（社会计量学万维网服务器）上查阅的因特网套件。 第一阶段将为这三个产品系列创建原型。 行为科学研究工具（BSRI）的特点是全面的实质性范围，多种格式的可用性和易于使用的界面，使其成为数千个机构目标市场的自然产品，为数十万个人用户提供服务。 示例如下：（1）学术市场，包括社会科学系、在BSRI所涵盖的专题领域工作的社会和健康科学教授和研究人员、学院和大学的主要图书馆以及大学的医学图书馆;（2）政策制定和商业市场，如公共数据用户协会的成员以及联邦和州部门的雇员。（3）一般信息资源市场，如为公众服务的图书馆。
