NEW
STATISTICAL PROJECTS AND PUBLICATIONS IN ISRAEL
Editor: Michael Bar-Yaacov
EXPLANATORY
NOTES
A. AIMS
This
Quarterly presents up-to-date information on the planning and execution of new
statistical projects and publications in Israel - including inter alia, censuses, sample surveys
and empirical research in the social sciences. In accordance with the
Statistics Ordinance 1972 as amended in 1978, the Central Bureau of Statistics
collects and publishes information on the above noted statistical projects
which are conducted (or commissioned or financed) by government ministries,
public institutions, academic institutions, research institutes etc. The
purpose is to bring to the attention of institutions and researchers, as well
as to the general public in Israel and abroad, information on new statistical
projects and on the appearance of publications, so as to avoid duplication in
the conducting of statistical surveys, and to permit the efficient and maximal
use of available statistical data.
B. COVERAGE
The Quarterly covers new projects as follows:
1. Censuses, sample surveys and research based on empirical inquiries, which are of public interest.
2. Publications containing statistical data and reviews of such research.
3. Computerized files and data bases which can yield statistics of public interest, or which can serve as a statistical frame for sample surveys and empirical research.
4. Projects and publications in the fields of methodology, mapping, geography and classifications which could be of assistance in the preparation of statistics in Israel, or in their use.
C. PUBLICATION
SCHEDULE
The Quarterly appears every three months, the reporting period being the 3 months prior to the publication. Certain items belong to an earlier period, but information about them reached the Bureau only in the reporting period.
The editorial closing date of the present issue (No. 131) is September 9 2003.
D. CONTENTS
AND PRESENTATION

Details in the English section include the title of the research, the stage of the research and also the name, address, E-Mail address and telephone and fax numbers of the researcher and the organization with which he or she is connected, to whom one may apply for additional information.
2. Publications
The Hebrew section contains bibliographies and summaries of publications and reports containing statistical data, results of statistical research, classifications and other tools useful in statistics.
The English section contains only citations of the publications reported, but these can be linked to the Hebrew abstract, as items have identical numbers in both the Hebrew and English sections.
