R&D DATA PRODUCTION ON SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES (SSH) – EUROSTAT METHODOLOGY AND PRACTICE Reni Petkova - EUROSTAT 14 September 2010

INTRODUCTION METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK DATA REQUIREMENTS DATA AVAILABILITY DATA QUALITY DATA ACCESS RESULTS / RECENT DATA 2 14 September 2010

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) http://www.oecd.org/document/6/0,3343,en_2649_34451_33828550_1_1_1_1,00.html 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 http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/nomenclatures/index.cfm?TargetUrl=LST_ NOM&StrLanguageCode=EN&IntFamilyCode= http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/nomenclatures/index.cfm?TargetUrl=LST_ NOM&StrLanguageCode=EN&IntFamilyCode 14 September 2010 4

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 5 14 September 2010

FOSSectorsGERD R&D PERSONNEL RESEARCHERS 1-DIGIT FOS GOV, HES Optional (R&D Regulation) biennially HC: Obligatory (R&D Regulation) by sex; four yearly FTE: Optional (R&D Regulation) by sex, biennially TOTAL, BES, PNP VoluntaryHC and FTE: Voluntary; by sex 2-DIGITS FOS TOTAL, BES, GOV, HES, PNP Voluntary- HC: Voluntary; by sex DATA REQUIREMENTS INPUT R&D INDICATORS ON SSH 6 14 September 2010

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 7 14 September 2010

9
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) 9 14 September 2010
10
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 10 14 September 2010 No significant difference in data availability
11
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 L etters of complaints to the Member States in case of defaults 11 14 September 2010
12
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’) 12 14 September 2010
