INTERNATIONALSTATISTICAL INSTITUTE Workshop Leadership in modern Statistical Systems 5.3. dissemination strategy by Ada van Krimpen
Dissemination strategy Why a dissemination strategy: • Use of statistics produced is key • Defines the products and way of dissemination • Users differentiation (government, policy institutes, academia, public) • Question: does an explicit dissemination strategy exist in your organisation? • Question: Is it available to the public?
Elements of a dissemination strategy • Release schedule or calendar • Outputs: • Key indicators • Basic statistics • Information sheets • Analytical reports • Databases • Micro data
Elements of a dissemination policy • Forms of publications: • Press releases • Statistical bulletins • Detailed publications • Databases through internet • Key publications (… explained) • Yearbooks • Micro data
Elements of dissemination strategy • Press releases: editing and headlines (training) • Access policy: equal access to information • Confidentiality policy: protection of individual data • Pricing policy: define which information is for free, which to be paid for • Free databases available through the internet?
Advantages of a dissemination strategy • Increases the visibility of the statistics and the CSO • Increases the credibility of the CSO • Strengthens the position of the CSO • Avoid ‘individual’ approaches and negotiations • Adhere to international standards and common policies
Microdata • Increased demand by (international) research community • Access to micro data (individual or low aggregation) • Question: do you grant access to micro data in one form or other? • Conference of European Statisticians (CES) guidelines.
Microdata (2) What kind of rules to put in place: • Kind of datasets (differentiate personal and business data) • Public use files; • Micro data sets on CD Rom • Remote access • To whom and which conditions • Research institutes • Policy institutes / Ministries • International organizations • Conditions: • Legal conditions and contracts. • Legal safeguards for ensuring public trust and respondents confidence. • For statistical purposes only! • Technical requirements • Output control • Pricing policy?
Code of Practice (2) • Why it may fail: • Information provided by the NSO is essential • Things may work in theory not in practice • Self regulatory tool • If a country has reasons for misleading little will help • How to strengthen the impact of CoP: • Legislation? • Respect
