The starting of microdata analysis by the researcher often identifies new
information needs, either because additional databases are needed, or
because questions occur about the data accessing, metadata, etc. This
situation is easily verified by the number of additional requests accessed to
the microdata databases.
(in figure 6: 123 additional requests in 2018, are derived from 62 initial
requests – figure 4).

These additional interactions are a result of the increased demand and
use of available information. The increase in research projects are the most
relevant in number, when compared together with the requests for doctoral
and master's degrees, as presented in figure 7.
