Personal Review: The Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata by
J. Scott Long

Time and again I order Stata Press books because they are easy to read,
clear, explicit, and written for data users at all levels. This book is no
exception. I'm a doctoral student working on my dissertation, and the
largest hurdle I've had so far is managing my data since I use very large
datasets. I found myself time and again getting lost in the details of
prepping the data and then having to go back and rerun things when I
realized I had omitted crucial first steps (if I could even find the do files I
had written). Since data management is not something that is taught in my
program (and likely not in others), this book is crucial to doing efficient,
replicable work. It's a gem-glad I found out about it. Another five-star
rating for a Stata Press book, and kudos to J.Scott Long.
