Achieving Data Accuracy

What is data accuracy? How can you assure the data you are publishing is accurate? And how can your document be error free? I’m sure all of these questions have crossed your mind. Every manager wants their documents to be published in a best way.

Data accuracy is the foundation dimension of data quality. It is how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

The data must match the given criteria and specifications the garage needs. The source the data is coming from must be trustworthy. After being confident that the data is as accurate as possible, the document is transmitted to the editorial staff that will collect and edit it. They will create a page layout that is easy to read. So the correct font type and size must be used. They have to take into consideration other features of typesetting such as: •	kerning, •	line spacing •	the length of each line.

The data has to go through the process of verification after it has been edited to remove mistakes. The document is checked by an automated grammar and spells checkers to help remover some errors that there might be in the data. There are two main types of verification the first is:

1.	Double entry: Data is entered twice, and they are then compared to see any difference occurring.

In this way not only the document going to published is accurate but is also error free. So finally after all these processes, the document is sent for printing.
