Abstract
Performance of research and development is aimed at creating new knowledge, products and processes. The National Survey of Research and Experimental Development (R&D survey) presents statistical indicators about the scale of investment in R&D, trends and the structure of sectors performing R&D. This information forms the basis for setting and monitoring relevant policy targets and priorities. South Africa has undertaken R&D surveys since the 1960s. The Human Sciences Research Council???s Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (HSRC-CeSTII) has undertaken this task since 2001 under the auspices of the Department of Science and Technology. The survey generates key data on human resources and expenditure on R&D that are then used to develop indicators. This report presents the results of the 2013/14 R&D survey, which is the twelfth in the series produced by CeSTII.-
