Policy and information related to NZCMS (HIRP)

Authorship policy

To provide clarity about authorship and authorship order, we have developed a policy for written outputs of the NZCMS, SoFIE-Health and other projects - Authorship Policy.

SNZ Security Statement

Statistics New Zealand and the University of Otago, Wellington have developed a Security Statement that details the security issues involved with the NZCMS - SNZ Security Statement.

Statistics New Zealand has lots of details about the Census and other Surveys. There are some files and web pages that are particularly relevant to the NZCMS, so for convenience some of those links and/or PDF files are specifically listed here. The Statistics New Zealand website is the original source of these documents and should be referred to for more details.
