What Index Measurement reports on China.
The Index desk reads an edition for measurement: what is measured, results by system and ADM level, coverage, sensitivity and the method that produced them.
The Index desk deposits results, data releases and method and release notes, each with the checksum of the data behind it.
If you supply a dataset or maintain an indicator, send the release, the licence and the indicator codes. The desk will say which values it can reproduce.
