A panel of 10,000 participants for an open and collaborative database
Italian Online Probability Panel, acronym: IOPP. This is the name chosen for one of the new services that the FOSSR Project offers for the analysis of topics relevant to the social and economic sciences.
A service that the researchers of the CNR-IRPPS, which is in charge of the activities of WP4 (Improving longitudinal and panel data infrastructure in Italy), in collaboration with the University of Milan Statale, will soon make available, according to the principles of Open Science. A multi-purpose tool for the execution of high quality surveys on the population aged 18 and over residing in Italy
The Italian Online Probability Panel is a longitudinal probability panel, composed of 10,000 participants, representative of the population resident in Italy aged between 18 and 74, who will be interviewed on a regular basis on a wide range of topics, such as lifestyles, behaviours, opinions, values, attitudes, family structure, housing condition, employment and economic situation, inequalities, social vulnerability, gender equality.
IOPP is integrated within the FOSSR infrastructure – through which data will be released in Open format and in accordance with FAIR principles – and aims to provide social research with representative, reliable, high-quality datasets with high scientific standards, offering the scientific community and stakeholders an open and collaborative database.
Between 2024 and 2025 – and, once fully implemented, for the years to come – the panel recruitment phase is expected to take place, starting from 2025 – and, once fully implemented, for the years to come – the administration in five annual waves of the core questionnaire, which will be filled in by the respondents directly via app or website and may be supplemented by sets of additional modules, proposed by the social sciences scientific community, in order to deepen topics already addressed in the core questionnaire or to investigate further topics of interest.
