Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)

Tue, 08/28/2007 - 9:33am — jporter

Scientific data is without value if it is unreliable or erroneous. Quality assurance (QA) procedures are applied after data has already been collected to provide assessments of data quality, indicating whether the data are of high quality, or contain elements of questionable reliability. Quality control (QC) procedures focus on the data collection and processing steps and minimizing the errors at each level.
