Data Quality

Representativeness:

The surveys completed are generally representative of cost-earnings for American Samoa small boat and spear fisheries during 2015.

Quality Control Procedures Employed:

After the data were recorded through primary in-person data collection methods (paper), data were entered into the data entry file (MS Access database). The entered data were subject to logic tests and appropriate skip patterns. The data were assessed for outliers and cleaned. Finally, the cleaned data were used to generate data reports and summaries.

Data Management

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: Yes
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: Unknown
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: Yes
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: Yes
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: No delay expected
If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed:

No delay expected

Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: No Archiving Intended
If To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended, Explain:

These data are Sensitive (business information). Efforts to disseminate can be arranged upon request, but the data are currently out of scope for the Data directive.

Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: No delay expected
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:

Data is securely stored in PIFSC's server with password protection.

Only staff who work on the project can access to the data.
