DOT: Accessing data vintages and print-ready data tables (PDF)

To access data vintages, print-ready data tables, and methodological information for DOT please navigate to the "Archive" tab of DOT dataset portal by clicking on "Archive".



On the "Archive" tab, you will see five sections:
  1. Publications and Methodological Notes
    This section is new and contains DOT yearbooks (2018 edition), DOT quarterly publications (2018 Q2 onwards), as well as vintages of the DOT Introductory Notes and the DOT Recent Data Coverage tables (starting October 2018). A new vintage of the DOT Introductory Notes will be made available whenever a change to the text is necessary. The final vintage of the DOT Quarterly (DOT 2018 Q3) will be published in November 2018. From February 2019 onwards, only updates to Introductory Notes, metadata, and data will be published.
  2. Metadata
    This section is new and contains DOT World and Country Notes as published with the DOT yearbooks and quarterly publications (2018 and 2018 Q3 editions). 
  3. Query or Download Data
    This section remains unchanged and provides access to quarterly DOT vintage databases through the Query and Bulk Download interfaces. Please note that this section is now located in the center column of the page.
  4. Tables
    This section remains unchanged and provides access to quarterly vintages of predefined DOT tables. Please note that this section is now located in the bottom half of the center column of the page.
  5. Country and World Tables in PDF Format
    This new section on the right-hand side of the page contains a list of annual and quarterly vintages of DOT country and world tables (as in the yearbooks and quarterly publications).
    -- To find the country and vintage you are looking for, you can either scroll and/or use the pagination, or you can use the country and vintage filters for annual and quarterly tables (6) to select the countries and/or vintages to be displayed in the list.
    -- To download and open a particular data table in PDF format, click on the respective country/vintage combination in the list.


The PDF files very closely resemble the printed world and country tables in the DOT Yearbook and DOT Quarterly publication.
