Data collection method

Method applied for gathering data for official statistics.

There are a number of data collection methods used for official statistics, including computer-aided personal or telephone interview (CAPI/CATI), mailed questionnaires, electronic or internet questionnaires, direct observation, administrative data sources, web-scraping and crowdsourcing sources. The data collection may be exclusively for statistical purposes, or primarily for non-statistical purposes.
