About publication

Statistics Poland (GUS) provides you with the EDITORIAL TITLE-PLAN containing basic information on publications planned for release in 2021. It has been prepared in the form of an interactive catalogue which enables efficient and easy search for publication titles. In contrast to previous years, publications planned to be issued by both the Statistics Poland (GUS) and statistical offices have been collected in one catalogue. They are grouped by subject area, within which it is possible to filter based on publishing series, form and frequency of publication.

The title of each item is accompanied by a short description, information about the planned date of publication and the form of publication. The plan is supplemented by descriptions of the publishing series that shapes the Office's publication system. We invite you to use the publications and other statistical products available on the Statistics Poland (GUS) website: www.stat.gov.pl.
