NRS Indexing Performance Metrics

The metrics below correspond exclusively to the provision of the Indexing Service. Metrics are provided for all projects, and for projects where the data has been shared under the Digital Economy Act. 

These values do not reflect the total data provision time, as the process to make data available to researchers include extra steps before and after the processing undertaken by NRS Indexing.

Time is computed from the first day the indexing team starts working on a dataset until completion of the Matching and Indexing, including weekends and holidays. This includes review and corrections, but can also include pauses in the processing for external reasons (e.g., if the project requires a Public Panel Amendment because the researchers want to access new variables, indexing is paused and those days are included in the total time to compute the metrics). For projects requiring Indexing in different stages, each stage is considered as a separate project for the purpose of these metrics. 

This information is updated every three months. Last update August 2024.
