Which outsourcing datasets should journalists cite first?
We rank for citability, not brand familiarity: relevance score first (seven of these records carry the maximum relevance rating of 3), then Datadory's 10-point quality score inside each band. The wider inventory behind this page sits in our data-processing-outsourced-services data hub.
How do you verify a company claim against primary registers?
Corporate claims should trace to a register, not a press release. Eurostat Structural Business Statistics (NACE J62/J63) extends the same discipline to the European Union with commercial delivery terms 4.0 licensing and DOI-based citation at quality 9. For the United States' own technology purchasing, the Federal IT Dashboard grounds accountability reporting statutorily through FITARA, JSON and XML.
What can students use without paying anything?
For teaching, Eurostat's JSON-stat and SDMX-ML feeds and NOMIS's nine-format spread make reproducible exercises straightforward, and the World Bank's ICT service exports arrive as CSV, XML, Excel and JSON under commercial delivery terms-4.0 with history back to 1960. Cross-industry picks live under all journalists-academics resources.
Are BPO directories and trade bodies safe to cite?
Treat commercial directories as color, not evidence. UNCTADstat shows what the alternative looks like - a UN publisher stating a required citation format and shipping under commercial delivery terms 3.0 IGO.
Straight answers
Where do data processing & outsourced services statistics for journalism come from?
Trade flows first: BEA's iTable covers US trade in services, the World Bank series runs IMF-sourced ICT service exports back to 1960, and UNCTADstat tracks the digital economy. For employment, NOMIS reports UK BRES series from 2009, and IBEF compiles India's IT-BPM figures from NASSCOM, STPI and government sources.
Where do journalists find data stories about outsourcing?
Start with flow-and-stock records rather than vendor marketing: BEA's iTable and the World Bank's ICT service exports quantify the offshoring story, Companies House and NOMIS ground company-level claims in the UK, and the Federal IT Dashboard documents federal IT spending under FITARA.
Rows before rollout
Sample rows from any shelf entry — the field dictionary and coverage notes ride along. If the shelf misses what you need, say so; sourcing requests are half our job.
