R & D Survey Statistical Report

This Statistical Report presents data tables from the 2013/14 South African National Survey of Research and Experimental Development (R&D survey) with commentary, standard summary tables of the overall findings from 2013/14 along with time series from nine previous instances of the survey. The Statistical Report is published
together with the Main Analysis Report which provides selected analysis of the survey data.
The survey covers the sectors that perform R&D in South Africa, namely the business, not-for-profit, government, science councils and higher education sectors. This approach is followed in order to satisfy national data needs and, at the same time, maintain consistency with the institutional sector categorisation recommended by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in The Measurement of Scientific and Technological Activities: Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on Research and Experimental Development, known as the Frascati Manual (OECD, 2002).
