METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
HARMONISED R&D CONCEPTS, DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS FRASCATI MANUAL (OECD, 2002) - Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on R&D
http://www.oecd.org/document/6/0,3343,en_2649_34451_33828550_1_1_1_1,00.html
SSH - incorporated in the third edition (OECD, 1976), adopted in 1974
New sub-section 2.4.2. Identifying R&D in SSH - included in the sixth edition (OECD, 2002)
FOS classification - Table 3.2 in FM (2002)
14 September 2010 3
METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
REVISED FOS CLASSIFICATION (FOS 2007)
At 1-digit level:
- no change (continuity of time series)
At 2-digits level:
- split of categories ‘other’ of SSH into several sub-categories
- detailed description of the content of the categories
FOS 2007 - available on Eurostat's Metadata Server RAMON

DATA REQUIREMENTS EU LEGAL BASE
Framework legal act: Decision № 1608/2003/EC of the EP and of the Council concerning the production and development of Community statistics on S&T
Legal implementation measure: Commission Regulation № 753/2004 implementing Decision № 1608/2003/EC as regards statistics on S&T
List of R&D indicators; status of the indicators (obligatory/ optional); breakdowns; classifications; measurement units (HC, FTE, mio national currency); periodicity; timeliness
VOLUNTARY DATA COLLECTION

DATA REQUIREMENTS
STANDARDISED APPROACH FOR DATA COLLECTION
JOINT OECD/EUROSTAT HARMONISED R&D QUESTIONNAIRE
Goes beyond the requirements of EU legal base - Incorporation of 2-digits FOS 2007 Data validation rules in place within the questionnaire Confidential data provision Received from 33 countries: 27 MSs; HR,TR, CH, IS, NO and RU DATA SOURCES IN MEMBER STATES
Sample/census surveys, administrative sources or others of equivalent quality, or their mixtures, subsidiary principle

R&D DATA AVAILABILITY ON SSH
814 September 2010
Based on March 2010 R&D data collection
MAJOR GAPS
At 1-digit of FOS
GOV and HES: Few missing countries
BES and PNP: Incomplete data (half of the EU MSs)
No estimates available for EU-27 aggregates
At 2-digits of FOS
GOV and HES: Partial data (¼ of the EU MSs)
BES and PNP: Scarce data (4 EU MSs)
914 September 2010
MAJOR GAPS
HC vs FTE Total vs gender breakdown Obligatory vs optional indicators
Low frequency of data provision (four yearly, biennially)
Old (not updated) data for few countries (2002/2003)
Missing data for the past years (short time series) for some countries
1014 September 2010
No significant difference in data availability
MAJOR GAPS
EUROSTAT COMPLIANCE MONITORING PROCESS
Evaluation of completeness and timeliness of the R&D data obligatory required under Commission Regulation № 753/2004
Annual compliance monitoring reports presented at the Working Group Meetings on S&T&I
Letters of complaints to the Member States in case of defaults
1114 September 2010
DATA QUALITY
EUROSTAT QUALITY MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCESS
Eurostat software tool for reporting and disseminating electronically
R&D metadata and quality information
National Quality Reports on R&D statistics
Deviations from FM recommendations / Quality drawbacks
- SSH surveyed as one common category
- Coverage inconsistency (inclusion of ‘Psychology’ and ‘Educational sciences’ in ‘Humanities’)
