National Research and Experimental Development Survey (R&D) 2006-07: All provinces in South Africa - Aggregated

Description:
This data set contains the aggregated data on the R&D expenditure per province by Business, Government, Higher Education, Not-for-Profit Organisations and Science Councils. R&D expenditure is aggregated by five survey sectors across nine provinces in South Africa.

Subsequent to the dissemination of version 1 of the 2006-07 data files, some of the information has been anonymised and the revised data files are disseminated as Version 2.
Abstract:
The National Survey of Research and Experimental Development (R&D) Survey collects data under strict confidentiality. Aggregate data are used primarily to inform policy and strategic planning at a national level. The National R&D Survey 2006/07 collected primary data from five survey sectors:

Business sector, made up of companies, business associations and state owned enterprises.

Government sector, made up of national and provincial departments, research institutes and museums.

Higher Education Institutions sector, made up of universities, universities of technology, technikons and private higher education institutions. Some limited supplementary data from HEMIS was used in this sector.

Not-for-Profit Organisations (NPO) sector.

Science Councils sector.

Some general organisational information was collected. The survey however focused on Human Resources and Financial data relating to in-house R&D conducted on the national territory of South Africa.

In-house R&D personnel categories included:

Researchers

Technicians directly supporting R&D

Other personnel directly supporting R&D

Qualifications, gender and race

Full-time-equivalents (FTE) on R&D

In-house R&D expenditure categories included:

Capital expenditure, labour costs and other current expenditure.

Type of R&D (basic research, strategic basic research, applied research, and experimental development)

Provincial location

Sources of funds

Research fields (fields of science)

Socio-Economic Objective

Industry of R&D (Business sector only)

The key users of the data and findings include government departments, especially DST and the OECD who use survey indicators in their annual time-series publication on Main Science and Technology Indicators (MSTI).

Ad hoc requests for data are also accommodated and inform academic papers, reports and other outputs.

### 数据集说明
本数据集涵盖南非九个省份，按企业、政府、高等教育机构、非营利组织及科学理事会分类的分省份研发（Research and Experimental Development，R&D）支出汇总数据，数据按五大调查领域进行聚合。

2006-2007年数据文件V1版本发布后，部分信息已完成匿名化处理，修订后的正式数据以V2版本发布。

### 摘要
全国研究与试验发展（R&D）调查在严格保密的前提下开展数据采集工作，其汇总数据主要为国家级层面的政策制定与战略规划提供参考。2006/07年全国R&D调查从五大调查领域收集原始数据：
1. 企业领域：由各类企业、商业协会及国有企业组成；
2. 政府领域：由中央及地方各级政府部门、科研机构与博物馆组成；
3. 高等教育机构领域：涵盖大学、理工大学、技术学院（technikons）及私立高等教育机构，本领域同时使用了来自HEMIS的少量补充数据；
4. 非营利组织（NPO）领域；
5. 科学理事会领域。

调查同时收集了部分通用组织信息，但核心调研内容为南非领土范围内开展的内部研发相关的人力资源与财务数据。

内部研发人员类别包括：
- 研究人员
- 直接支撑研发工作的技术人员
- 其他直接支撑研发工作的人员
- 学历资质、性别与种族构成
- 研发全时当量（Full-time-equivalents，FTE）

内部研发支出类别包括：
- 资本支出、人力成本及其他经常性支出
- 研发类型（基础研究、战略基础研究、应用研究与试验发展）
- 所属省份
- 资金来源
- 研究领域（科学学科领域）
- 社会经济目标
- 研发所属行业（仅适用于企业领域）

本数据及研究发现的核心使用者包括政府部门，尤其是科学与技术部（DST）及经济合作与发展组织（OECD），后者将调查指标纳入其《主要科学与技术指标（Main Science and Technology Indicators，MSTI）》年度时序出版物中。

同时可响应临时数据查询需求，相关数据可用于学术论文、研究报告及其他科研成果产出。
