The paperrndescribes a survey of recent graduates from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Information QualityrnGraduate Program. In the survey the graduates rate how much influence these sociocultural factors had on thernoutcomes of their data quality projects. The results of the survey support the practitioners’ claims.
