Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The Main Science and Technology Indicators database contains 151 main data series selected from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Scientific and Technological Indicators database for 30 OECD member countries and nine non-member countries. The majority of these series provide information on research and experimental development resources, with additional series providing measures of output and the impact of scientific and technological activities. A number of economic series are also included to calculate indicators such as growth rates at fixed prices, research and development expenditures as a percentage of GDP or industrial value added, and series to convert data into a common currency using comparisons at purchasing power parities. These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in March 2004. Main Topics : The 151 indicators in the Main Science and Technology database come under the following subject headings: Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) Research and Development Personnel (FTE) GERD by source of funds GERD by performance sectors Researchers (Headcount) Business Enterprise Expenditure on Research and Development (BERD) Business Enterprise Research and Development Personnel (FTE) BERD by source of funds BERD by performance sectors Higher Education Expenditure on Research and Development (HERD) Higher Education Research and Development Personnel (FTE) Government Expenditure on Research and Development Government Research and Development Personnel (FTE) Government Budget Appropriations or Outlays for Research and Development by socio-economic objectives (GBAORD) Research and Development Expenditure of Foreign Affiliates Patents Technology Balance of Payments (TBP) International trade in highly Research and Development-intensive industries Annex: Economic series
