Here at the University of Lincoln, we provide our students and staff with the software package IBM SPSS Statistics. This is a very popular software package for statistical analysis. We currently have licences for SPSS 25 through to 28. You will find that all the computers in the library have SPSS on them. If you're wanting to use SPSS around campus and can not find it on your user area, all you need to do is go into the 'software center' and download IBM SPSS.
You can download SPSS onto your own computer from the ICT website. Please follow the link below:
IBM SPSS Downloads & Activation Codes
You do not need to download SPSS every year, however, you will need to reauthenticate your license code. To update your code search your computer for 'SPSS Authenication Wizard', this runs outside of the typical SPSS windows and will help you update the program. Technical support for SPSS is provided by ICT. If you have any problems with the installation, please contact them for help:
Some schools at the University of Lincoln require students to conduct their analysis using R.
RStudio is an integrated environment for R that some students consider more user-friendly and accessible than the base versions of R.
RStudio can be downloaded onto your own desktop from its own external website:
