Template:Indicator

Quick info
Data type	{{{datatype}}} i.e. String, Numeric or Date (choose only one)
Scale	{{{scale}}} i.e. Binary, Multinominal, Ordinal, Metric, Date or Not applicable (choose only one)
Value labels	{{{valuelabels}}} Add value labels as a list using the HTML list tags. In software like Stata, SAS or the like it would be called "value labels". Value labels are usually used for nominal and ordinal scales only, i.e. for metric variables write "Not applicable". Examples include: 0 = "No", 1 = "Yes" or "1 = Totally agree" ... "7 = Totally disagree".
Technical name	{{{techname}}} Technical and unique name of an indicator. Refer to the naming convention for the initial characters and add a meaningful suffix. This is the same as "Technical name" in the indicator table. In software like Stata, SAS or the like it would be called "variable name".
Category	{{{category}}} A link to the indicator table of the corresponding category (which are grouped as Y, X1 and X2 in WeSISpedia), e.g. Political factors if the indicator belongs to the category "Political factors". Internal links use the following notation: [[link incl. underscores | readable name]], e.g. [[Political_factors | Political factors]].
Label	{{{label}}} Add the easy-to-read label of the indicator. This is the same as "Indicator name" in the indicator table. In software like Stata, SAS or the like this would be called "variable label".
Related indicators	{{{relatedindicators}}} Add a list of related indicators using the HTML list tags if applicable (otherwise write "Not applicable"). Examples are sub-dimensions of an index or conceptually close indicators.

{{{description}}}

This is a test indicator and its description starts here. This text shall introduce the indicator as concise as possible including references to major works if it is already published. 

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."
