The new approach to publications in 2011 and beyond Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010 Ulrich Wieland

Why do we have publications? to deliver statistical information (which must complement the data from our databases) to help users to make effective use of statistics explanation guidance Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Publications programme – the past Publications = Books Books = Paper Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Publications programme – the future Publications = Content Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Publications programme – the future Content has to be useful timely high quality comprehensive Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

The DM mandate November 2007 and January 2008: DM request to radically change direction of the publications strategy Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Flagship publications Long-term objective Statistics Explained Authors Users Flagship publications Printed products PDFs Archive Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Main future axes of publishing Statistics Explained for the bulk of value-added content Statistics in Focus for statistical analysis A small number of high-quality flagship and cross-cutting publications Publicity material including free pocketbooks Methododologies and working papers - primarily for data producers Paper books only when really needed.... Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

History of Statistics Explained September 2008: First prototype November 2008: Concept approved by the DM September 2009: Opening to the public as a beta version April 2010: DM decision to use Statistics Explained as production environment for the yearbook Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

How could it go so fast? Early support of the Director General and the Directors (for example through the vision document) Use of open source software, which allowed to minimize development time and cost, but also to start developing and testing immediately with own resources The cooperative approach and the early discussion with units (especially through CODIF) Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Key advantages of Statistics Explained High degree of timeliness Cost-effectiveness Easy re-use of content Collaborative editing Facilitates editorial quality control Enables consistent coverage of all statistical topics Reaches new audiences Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Some news about Statistics Explained Converting existing publications PDF output Multilingualism Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Converting existing publications Example: European business: Chapter 25: Business services statistics http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Business_services_statistics The dissemination unit is ready to support you actively in this process Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Creating PDF output New development, still in an early stage, requires further improvement Intended to be used for rapid dissemination, checking, archiving Example: Creating a PDF from the articles of a category http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Category:Education_and_training Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Multilingualism Possibility to create multiple language versions English is always the master language Currently used for definitions only Example: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Glossary:Capital_expenditure_for_innovation Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Some figures 275 Statistical articles 16 background articles About 600 Glossary pages Corresponds to a 3500 pages book 180,000 page views per month 50,000 visitors per month Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010

Some hot issues.... How many articles should we have in Statistics Explained? How to guarantee the quality of articles? What to do with analytical articles which should not be modified any more? How to archive? When to do a Statistics Explained article and when to do a SiF? Dissemination Working Group 26.10.2010
