KODEM: Data and conditions of use
Coordinated Online Panels for Research on Democracy and Governance, is a project that involves coordinated data collection in several sub group panels. Through coordinated data collection, we aim to find information on different groups that are part of the Norwegian society and democracy, and compare these groups. Do groups with different roles in society have different attitudes and opinions?
Main content
In 2020, with KODEM_DEMO, we ran a coordinated survey to the general population, the elected politicians, the central public administrators and Norwegian journalists.
From 2023 we run KODEM light more regularly, with data collection in three panels: The Norwegian Citizen Panel, the Panel of Elected Representatives and the Panel of Public Administrators. The panels get some common coordinated questions and some more panel specific questions twice per year, depending on the interested researchers.
Info on data and conditions of use
Note on ethics and data protection.
Coordinated questions have been asked in several waves of the different panels.
Data in the Norwegian Citizen Panel is publicly available for use for research and education, through Sikt. For longitudinal data, text data, or other specific needs, contact DIGSSCORE at digsscore@uib.no. Data will be available for you, for research and education purposes, in SAFE, UiB's system for safe storage and data management.
For access to data from the Norwegian Panel of Elected Representatives, Panel of Public Administrators or Panel of Journalists, you also need to write to digsscore@uib.no to apply for access through SAFE, UiB's system for safe storage and data management.
