Science and Engineering Indicators Explorer – Input Needed
Posted March 11, 2026
Discipline(s): All
The Science and Engineering Indicators Explorer is a forthcoming web application that will help you create custom visualizations of science and engineering data. You don’t need to be an expert to use this tool—it's designed for anyone who’s interested in analyzing and sharing data on key indicators of U.S. science and engineering performance.
The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the U.S. National Science Foundation is excited to announce an innovative new project. We are expanding the NCSES Data Tool suite to include a new data tool for Science and Engineering Indicators called the Indicators Explorer. Development is in progress, and we’d like users to get a look at this tool, give their impressions, and test functionality.
To see if you are eligible to participate in usability testing of the new tool, please complete this brief questionnaire.
This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Your information will be kept confidential (see our privacy statement). The OMB control number for this study is 3145-0215.

The Indicators Explorer will launch in May 2026. After it launches, it will be updated and improved as new data and features become available.
