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 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 databases 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 that 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. 140) is 8 December 2005.
