{{{description}}}

Coding rules

{{{codingrules}}}

This section shall report all coding rules and decisions underlying the data collection.

Bibliographic info

Citation: {{{citation}}}

Here you claim credits for your own work, i.e. if a specific operationalization is presented in published work you may cite it accordingly; otherwise refer to "standard" WeSISpedia citation. Add hyperlinks to articles, pdfs and the like if possible (doi preferable). 

Related publications: {{{relatedpublications}}}

Here you give credits, i.e. cite the work of others if the indicator or operationalization is based on these works and references have been made in the description. Add hyperlinks to articles, pdfs and the like if possible (doi preferable). 
Note: This section is for credit claiming and giving. It differs from sources as the section below lists all material used for compiling the indicator. An example: there is an index of electoral fractionalization of the party system proposed by Rae in 1968. Thus, the desciption of the indicator refers to Rae 1968 and the bibliographic info must be entered as "Related Publications". Under sources various documents may be listed used for collecting the actual data in WeSIS. 

Misc

Project manager(s): {{{projectmanagers}}}

Add the responsible person or project (PI). You may also give credits to all people (e.g. student assistants) involved in the data collection. 

Data release: {{{datarelease}}}

This section will include information regarding the publication of the focal indicator in different versions of WeSIS. This needs to be filled later on. Example: "The indicator is included in WeSIS rev. 1 to rev. 8 and 10, but not in rev. 9 

Revisions: {{{revisions}}}

This section shall report any changes and/or corrections made to the data, e.g. different estimation, interpolation techniques, correction of wrong data, new sources and related changes etc. Example: "Wrong data for Gabun in rev. 1 was corrected in rev. 2."
