The front page of the SOTKAnet service gives you an overview of the data content and the most popular indicators. The front page is where you start your search. It is also where you find news and bulletins with information about indicators within different SOTKAnet topics.

Search for statistics and indicators

The front page gives you four ways to look for statistics and indicators. You can specify your search in more detail on the search page.

1. Go straight to the search page

You can access the search page from the front page by clicking the link in the top menu or the corresponding link under the heading How to search in SOTKAnet. These links will not start any searches but take you straight to the search page.

By default, the search page has pre-selected the three most recent years and both men and women.

Any selections made will be stored on the search page, unless they are deleted one by one.

2. Free text search

The free-text search box allows you to use a word or phrase to search for indicators. The search box gives suggestions on keywords used in SOTKAnet, but you may also use other search terms.

The free text search can also be used with indicator numbers, or IDs. The indicator IDs are located in brackets after each indicator’s name. Separate the indicator IDs with commas to search for several indicators. To see a list of indicators with IDs, please click the Data content link in the top menu bar.

The instructions on the search page describe in more detail the kinds of searches you can perform with the free-text search box.

Clicking the Search button takes you to the search page.

3. Selecting indicator group

Below the search box you will find a list of the largest indicator groups, showing the name of the indicator group and the number of indicators in that group.

Select one of the groups to go to the search page. The search page then shows the group you just selected.

4. The most popular indicators

The list of the most popular indicators is located in the side bar in the lower right corner of the screen. The list shows the five most popular indicators for the past month.

You can also access the search page by selecting one of the indicators. The search page then includes the indicator you selected, and you can use it for your search.

What’s new

Also in the side bar you will find the section What’s new, with the three latest SOTKAnet news items. Open a single news item by clicking its heading. For more SOTKAnet news, please click the link Show all.

Bulletins

The Bulletins heading in the side bar lists the three latest bulletins. Bulletins examine SOTKAnet updates and interpret the meaning of statistical data, for instance. Read all posted bulletins by clicking the link Bulletins.
