Explanation:
This is the "official" term. I use it frequently. I can't find the source right now, but I can say that it comes up for me a lot, usually at the bottom of tables and graphs.

I've found some examples on the Internet--two of them from my own clients! I searched on the string: "source own preparation". I remember now: I learned this when I collaborated with an economist on a large project.

Clarifications:

The cloud2.gdnet.org/ reference looks as if the author is not a native speaker of English.

As for www.eclac.cl, I have worked for them and they have the highest standards in their publications, so please don't assume that "publicaciones" means that it's a Spanish original.

neutral  James A. Walsh: "Official" according to who? http://tinyurl.com/cb5sgpf
2 hrs
  -> International organizations, style manuals, economists, statisticians.

agree  Charles Davis: "Own compilation" is quite commonly used too; I think either of these two would be correct. They may have done the research, but "elaboración" is not claiming that; it just means they collected the data and prepared or compiled the table.
18 hrs
  -> Thanks so much, Charles!

agree  Deborah Lockett: good comment from Charles, always well thought out
20 hrs
  -> Thanks, Deborah!

neutral  ATDavis80: I've edited for several int'l orgs and journals, never have I seen 'own compilation' as the preferred expression.

  -> Actually, it's 'own preparation' - I've been doing this for almost 50 years, so maybe I've seen more than you have.
