The data are collected through sample or census surveys, from administrative registers or through a combination of sources. The data are gathered via national questionnaires in paper and/or electronic format. The statistical unit used is enterprise.

R&D data are available for following countries and country groups: - All EU Member States, plus Candidate Countries, EFTA Countries, the Russian Federation, China, Japan, the United States and South Korea. - Country groups: EU-28, EU-15 and EA-18.
