OECD PublishingOECD Publishing is responsible for disseminating the content of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) whose mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.

The OECD brings governments together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems. We don’t just work with governments, but also with business, labour, academia and other civil society organisations to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change. We analyse and compare data to predict future trends. We set international standards on all sorts of things, from the safety of chemicals to the quality of cucumbers.

We look, too, at issues that directly affect the lives of ordinary people, like how much they pay in taxes and social security. We compare how different countries’ school systems are readying their young people for modern life, and how different countries’ pension systems will look after their citizens in old age.

This information is published in books, journals and data services. All of them are available via our global knowledge base, OECD iLibrary.

OECD is one of the most innovative publishers in its field and one of the most prolific and reliable sources of comparable economic and social data.

OECD Core Values • Objective:

Our analyses and recommendations are independent and evidence-based.

• Open: We encourage debate and a shared understanding of critical global issues.

• Bold: We dare to challenge conventional wisdom starting with our own.

• Pioneering: We identify and address emerging and long term challenges.

• Ethical: Our credibility is built on trust, integrity and transparency.

OECD is well known for its methodology for measuring support to agriculture in an internationally comparable way. It also conducts policy reviews and analysis on agriculture and fisheries policies issues and carries out an annual medium-term forecasting exercise. The Producer Support Estimate (PSE – a measure of support to agriculture) is a key tool developed by OECD to compare agricultural policy performance across countries and to track progress in policy reform.

Combating poverty and social exclusion remain high on the policy agenda in all countries within and outside the OECD. Providing benefits to people in need can help alleviate the worst social and economic hardship, but such policies cannot replace a comprehensive strategy of social development. Social policy work in the OECD covers a wide array of social, education and health policies implemented in a continuously changing environment of socio-demographic factors, labour markets, and technical progress.

Reflecting the globalisation of industrial activities and the intertwined nature of trade dimensions with other policy fields, OECD work on trade has shifted from an emphasis on trade in goods to a more interdisciplinary consideration of trade issues. It helps forestall trade tensions and conflicts that emerge under the pressure of ever-intensifying competition.

OECD work on this subject area examines how regions, whether urban, rural, crossborder or metropolitan, contribute to national growth. This work focuses onhow a place-based development model, a multi-sector policy approach that harnesses endogenous strengths and assets using networked, multi-level governance mechanisms, is best suited to achieve regional and aggregate growth outcomes. The integrated analysis of historical, cultural and socio-economic factors can explain why and how a given territory can improve its own prospects for growth and development.

Did you know…

… that OECD is actively working with national governments, cities and regions to highlight the role of metropolitan areas in delivering cost-effective policy responses to climate change?

OECD has been publishing statistical periodicals and serials since the Organisation began in

1961. With the arrival of electronic publishing OECD was one of the first to make all its content

accessible online. The PDFs dating back to 1998 represent an important archive for users wishing

to check older figures.

Now the presentation on OECD iLibrary offers the data in WEB, PDF and XLS formats to facilitate

discoverability and usability of the data. It has never been easier to find, use and cite the OECD

indicators.

FEATURES

60

Integrated SearchOECD iLibrary has a powerful search

engine helping users find the right content

easily.

• The Quick Search box located at the top

of every page gives fast results based on

title and abstract metadata for the 50 000

items contained in the platform.

• Advanced search enables full text

searching and the use of Boolean

operators, as well as other parameters:

date, content type or language (English,

French, German, Spanish, Portuguese,

Italian, etc).

In both types of search the results are

displayed according to relevance and

showing:

• Content Type : Article, Chapter, Table,

Graph, Book, Database.

• Formats : PDF, XLS, WEB, DATA, ePUB.

Search results can be sorted by date or

content type. A history of the most recent

searches during the active session is

maintained allowing users to jump between

and combine results.

62

On OECD iLibrary every single item, from a complete book down to a table in one of its chapters,

has its own home page, DOI and bibliographical metadata. The contextual navigation allows users

to easily find:

• Publications belonging to a book collection

• Chapters and tables within a title

• In which publication a table, chapter or article was published

• Previous or latest edition of annuals

• Other language versions

• Multilingual summaries in up to 20 different languages

• Subject-related titles

Content in Context

64

Digital Object Identifier & Citation ToolsThe use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs),

for all published items in OECD iLibrary,

allows the use of persistent and independent

links to the described content anywhere on

the internet. Information about a digital object

may change over time, including where to find

it, but its DOI name will not change and thus

always points to its original online presence.

The DOI name has two components, the

prefix and the suffix, which together form the

DOI name. A DOI name may be assigned to

any item of intellectual property, which must

be precisely defined by means of structured

metadata. The DOI name itself remains

persistent through ownership change and

remains unaltered once assigned.

All citation tools in OECD iLibrary feature

the DOI name as the reference link.

A new «Cite as» feature allows consistent

referencing of any full-text item on the site.

As an innovative tool, this feature also

includes the citation of dynamic databases

with a link to the original dataset and the

exact time at which it has been accessed.

The citation tool is compatible with popular

bibliographical reference software such

as EndNote, RefManager, ProCite and

RefWorks.

66

OECD iLibrary also provides subscribers with

COUNTER3-compliant usage statistics.

Three different reports are available, logging

usage statistics for full-text downloads,

meaning a user clicked on a PDF icon,

a XLS icon, a WEB icon or a DATA icon.

The reports will show monthly data for the

selected calendar year. All relevant content

titles are listed showing the actual usage with

the totals in the first row.

Available in CSV format, the page display will

allow a drop-down selection for the year and

for the type of report. In coordination with

COUNTER standards these reports are:

• BR1 (Book Report 1= Number of

Successful Title Requests by Month and

Title)

• BR2 (Book Report 2 = Number of

Successful Section Requests by Month

and Title)

• JR1 (Journal Report 1 = Number of

Successful Full-Text Articles Requests

by Month and Journal)

MARC records are available to all

subscribers using MARC21 XML format

according to U.S. Library of Congress

specifications. Bibliographic details for

books are available, covering monographs

and serials. OECD iLibrary also provides

records for all papers/journals and statistical

content. MARC records are generated in

English only, and describe the online version

of a publication/serial, including other

language versions.
