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 4 times a year, 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.
