Objetivo

The quality datasheet seeks to establish a list of quantitative and qualitative indicators that reflect the quality of a specific statistical operation. In this specific case, and given there are no other statistics prepared by other entities, we use our own quality indicators prepared using the Eustat statistical operations procedures.

Whenever possible, a reference value whose mission is to facilitate the interpretation of the “goodness” of the given indicator will be added alongside the real value of each indicator. And in general, it shall be expressed by a minimum or maximum reference value of the indicator.

Indicator Descriptions

• Relevance Indicators
  • Satisfaction index and importance level by operations groups
    The real value of this indicator is calculated using the results of the last available User Satisfaction Survey prepared by EUSTAT. The value range, the minimum and maximum of these indicators (between 0 and 5), is included as the benchmark value.
    User satistaction survey
  • Number of website hits
    The real value of this indicator is calculated using the annual figures from the “Annual Dissemination Report” produced by EUSTAT. It includes all the hits for the data, information, documentation, etc. related to a specific statistics operation. All web hits for the statistical operations for the relevant annual period are included as the reference value.

• Comparability Indicators
  • No of comparable periods
    The real value reflects the specific number of comparable periods in a time series of the operation. The reference value is set at a maximum of 10 years or more.

• Accessibility and Clarity indicators
  • Number of methodological documents disseminated on the website.
    The real value of this indicator reflects the total number of documents (reports, datasheets, tables,…) available in the “Methodology and Quality" section of the website, for each statistics operation.
  • Number of publications disseminated.
    The real value of this indicator contains the number of different formats in which the information on the statistics operation is published. These formats are described in the Technical Project of the statistics operation.

• Other indicators
  • Monetary cost
    The real value reflects the transition cost of the operation and it uses the EUSTAT total transition costs as the reference value.
