POLAND - BUREAU OF RESEARCH (BAS)
Work Procedures and Methods
Methods applied by BAS analysts include mostly
desk study, interviews and consulting relevant sources of information. Methods
involving citizens or any other forms of public consultation are not used. The
most frequent outcome is a short information note (several pages) prepared
individually by an analyst (BAS prepares 50–100 such notes per month). More
profound analyses and reports are less frequent and they may be written
individually or by a group of analysts. Standard period for completing a typical
assignment is two weeks (much shorter in case of urgency), and one month for
more laborious reports.
