Analysing Data
RESOURCES FOR PRESENTING DATA
The Medical Sciences Division (MSD) have developed a workbook to support departments who are not confident using charts and tables to present their data annexes for an Athena Swan application, or other EDI endeavour.
This can be found here: Department Data Template Charts.

|
|
Takes the output from an excel download on the ‘Homepage’ (all data for all questions for all staff, or a selected filtered demographic) and process to put in order, include n numbers for each response group and comparison data |

The workbook takes an excel output for each combination of major job role, gender and year (8 in total) and shows you all of the data in chart form over time for use in review, analysis or application |
RESOURCES FOR ANALYSING DATA
MSD have a suite of resources that departments can use to analyse their data, these are designed to work with the data outputs that can be found on the Sourcing Data tab of this website.
Each workbook is designed to guide you through how to use them, and full details can be found in the Sourcing data for Athena Swan and EDI guide. However it can be tricky to get going, so if you would like a quick tutorial, or for the MSD Facilitator to set it up for you please contact your Divisional facilitator.
A note for users with screen readers or other assistive technology:
All of the workbooks listed here have been accessibility checked, and pass. However using them requires processing often huge datasets which will be difficult for a user of assistive technology, and require accessing datasets using Tableau which is not yet fully accessible.
If a member of staff who uses a screen reader wishes to analyse their data using one of these workbooks please get in touch with the Divisional facilitator who can prepare a report for you.
| Workbook title | Workbook details |
| This workbook guides you through how to use SDMA on Tableau locate, download, review and visualise your student data quickly and simply, and will create charts which you can then just copy into your data annex.

| Leaver Data Workbook | This workbook uses the Leaver Reason Data crosstab from the Athena Swan SiP reports in Tableau. The spreadsheet sorts the data by grade to show leaver distribution by grade and sex, and then examined the distribution of leaver reasons by sex, and leaver destinations types by sex. This is a more complex dataset so please contact your Divisional facilitator for support. |
Benchmarking
The divisional facilitator can help you if you need to source benchmark data for any particular area, however there is a resource collating potential benchmark data from Tableau (MSD divisional), HEIDI+ (Russell group by specialism). Please contact your Divisional facilitator for more information.
