Editorial and research methodology

See how PiSpace chooses resources, records sources and documents uncertainty.

Before publishing a resource

  1. Describe the reader’s task and who owns the data or tool.
  2. Check the primary source, destination, language and reuse conditions.
  3. Record the unit, geographic level, reference period and any gaps beside every value.
  4. Recalculate worked examples and label invented inputs fictional.
  5. Check the translated headings, links, download files and instructions as a set.

Research snapshots and changes

A research item states its question and sampling rule. Its table preserves the observed results and its limitations explain what could be missed. If a correction changes the meaning, record the change and use the updated date. An ordinary link check can have a separate verification date.
