Governments across the world make thousands of personnel management decisions, procure millions of goods and services, and execute billions of processes each day. They are data rich. And yet, there is little systematic practice to-date which capitalizes on this data to make public administrations work better. This means that governments are missing out on data insights to save billions in procurement expenditures, recruit better talent into government, and identify sources of corruption, to name just a few.
Part 2 focuses on cross-cutting challenges in government analytics. These include privacy and ethics, holistic measurement which addresses risks (e.g. from political pressure on indicators), up-to-date analytics practice which accord with good social science principles and measurement of the use of government analytics indicators by decision-makers.
Part 4 focuses on surveys of public servants, one of the most widely used data sources for government analytics by governments to-date. Part 4 surveys the global landscape of public servant surveys and provides novel empirical evidence to advise governments on how to best design and implement surveys of public servants, and how to best leverage survey results for management improvements.

For government analysts, this Handbook addresses a spectrum of management challenges, ranging from cost-effective procurement and employee motivation to competitiveness in compensation and corruption in public expenditure. It enables pinpointing organizational strengths and weaknesses, facilitating informed decision-making that can lead to cost savings, improved motivation, and enhanced productivity. Researchers and analysts working outside government will find the Handbook a valuable reference, showcasing the capabilities of government analytics and providing scalable examples of analytical work. It also includes guidance on using the Handbook as a teaching tool.
The Government Analytics Handbook is structured to help readers quickly identify sources of data they already have access to, and it offers practical advice about repurposing these data for analytics, as well as examples of the many possible insights that can be generated:
Scaling up the analysis of government data is crucial for a deeper understanding of public administration. We eagerly anticipate your feedback, experiences, successes, and ideas that could shape the second volume of the Handbook.
The WIPO Patent Analytics Handbook provides an introduction to advanced methods for patent analytics and focuses on tools and skills that patent analysts can use in their everyday work. The Handbook builds on the WIPO Manual for Open Source Patent Analytics which provides an introduction to working with patent data using a range of free tools to obtain, clean and visualize patent data. The handbook aims to address two challenges.
The first of these challenges is that anyone seeking to start work in patent analytics is confronted by a lack of reliable practical guidance on how to develop simple descriptive patent statistics. The OECD Patent Statistics Manual is required reading for anyone seeking to engage with patent statistics and is an invaluable resource (OECD Patent Statistics Manual 2009). However, it focuses on the issues we need to think about rather than practical demonstration. The Handbook addresses this problem by working through first principles in the development of patent counts for descriptive statistics and provides basic illustrations of the use of linear regression and forecasting models. In the process the Handbook aims to build a bridge to more sophisticated approaches to working with patent data at scale in fields such as econometrics and points to useful resources in these areas.
The ability to generate descriptive patent statistics is only one aspect of patent analytics. Recent years have witnessed an explosion in the availability of different data types that can be integrated with patent data to better inform and enrich analysis. The second and major challenge addressed by the Handbook is integrating different data types from the scientific literature, to geographic information and the results of text mining into patent analytics. In turn the range of methods that are available to patent analysts for working with patent data promises to be transformed by the emergence of accessible machine learning tools for use across a range of topics such as applicant name cleaning, text mining and image classification. In common with many other fields of research the emergence of machine learning appears to hold considerable promise for patent analytics but it remains to be seen whether this promise will be realised.
The Handbook is therefore intended to be used by researchers and professionals who are relatively new to working with patent data. It is also intended to be of interest for experienced researchers and professionals who are interested in expanding their skills in working with patent and related data at different scales.
One important challenge that has emerged in recent years with the growth of patent analytics and patent landscape analysis is the problem of reproducibility (Smith et al. 2017). Patent analysts typically work with data from a number of different databases and use a number of different methods in their analysis. However, the precise details of the coverage of different sources, the methods used, and the limitations of different approaches are often not made explicit. This makes it difficult for others to reproduce the results and to assess the quality of the analysis presented. The Handbook takes the approach that patent analysis should be reproducible. The Handbook addresses this issue by using examples from standardised open access datasets created for this purpose or from public sources. The online version of the Handbook is an example of literate programming and all chapters are accompanied by the code used to develop the examples. The chapters in Rmarkdown format containing all code are available from the public GitHub repository at -analytics/handbook
With some topics getting revisited and extended as well as additional ones being presented, this new volume of the Handbook of Learning Analytics provides a much-needed and updated view into the research happening in learning analytics. It is filled to the brim with insights from leading experts and offers you a wonderful opportunity to see how the field has developed, expanded and matured over the years.
The Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) is an inter-disciplinary network of leading international researchers who are exploring the role and impact of analytics on teaching, learning, training and development. SoLAR has been active in organizing the International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) and the Learning Analytics Summer Institute (LASI), launching multiple initiatives to support collaborative and open research around learning analytics, promoting the publication and dissemination of learning analytics research, and advising and consulting with state, provincial, and national governments.

Look inside.
Data is only as powerful as your understanding around it.
Analytics makes possible new understandings of students and their needs, and creates an advanced ability to improve student success through use of new software being implemented on campuses around the world.
This handbook is designed to help any higher ed leader unleash the power of data that is always available but seldom leveraged. It helps to answer the questions, (1) How does a campus strategically develop a plan for use of analytics in better supporting their students? (2) Once a culture is in place, how do leaders effectively move new evidence into action? This primer walks readers through each step of the analytics adoption.
