An article on employment in Europe:

Si bien la visión europea del fenómeno se centra en elementos **objetivables** y mensurables , también apunta otros aspectos más subjetivos...

I'm finding "objectivable" in google, but is that even a real word? Perhaps just "objective" would work best.
Thanks in advance!

elementos objetivables y mensurables - measurable, objective elements

I think "objective" sounds more convincing if you put it after "measurable"

objectivable elements

this is most certainly a real word used by real English speakers within particular philosophical contexts - the question is whether your context is one of those.
Example sentence:

the non-objectivable character of the conscious “self”, intended as the “presence to my self” (what I am able to render as an object to myself is only “me”, however always relatively to its past states or acts)

the concept of beauty in Science would need be discussed from a philosophical perspective, searching the objectivable aesthetic components of a scientific theory.

Peer comment(s):

agree Carol Gullidge : I think this is probably what it means - as I'm not really sure what an "objective element" could be!

(elements) that can be operationalised (and measured)

I think this is right- the concepts must be operationalised, or put into researchable form- e.g. 'social class' can be operationalised in the form of father's occupation; support for European integration can be operationalised (US spelling 'operationalized) by use of a questionnaire, answers to which can be aggregated and measured. There is a vast sociological literature on this.
Example sentence:

The first stage in the research process is the operationalisation of concepts.

Operationalization is the process of defining a concept as the operations that will measure the concept (variables) through specific observations.
