Reminder
The figure illustrates the ESS data processing work flow at NSD, as well as the communication between the National Teams and NSD from ”no file deposit” to inclusion of country file in the international integrated file
Every participating country is assigned a primary contact person from the ESS Data Team at NSD
The contact person takes care of the processing of the country’s data, and communicates with the National Team
The data processing is accomplished in two steps:
1. A data check process and
2. A data editing process
-Each step resulting in a Data processing summary
The data processing summaries from the two steps make up the Data Processing Report
• The Data Processing Report, all programmes used etc. are made available for the National Teams during the data processing period through the European Social Survey Archive Web Site: http://essdata.nsd.uib.no
After the data processing period:
• The Data Processing Reports, all programmes used, e-mails etc. are stored at NSD
