NEW STATISTICAL
PROJECTS AND PUBLICATIONS IN ISRAEL
Quarterly 3/2006, Issue No. 143
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
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 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. 143) is 8 September 2006.
D. CONTENTS
AND PRESENTATION

With regard to ongoing research projects, the following data are shown
in the Hebrew section:

research, the subjects investigated, the main variables, the population/sample
and method of research. Details are also given as to the anticipated time of publication,
and the name, address, e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers of the
researcher.
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

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.
