Human resources are key in the creation and diffusion of innovation, and doctorate holders are not only the most qualified in terms of educational attainment, but also those who are specifically trained to conduct research. But not much is known about their paths on the labour market. This is why the OECD launched a project with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and Eurostat to develop internationally comparable indicators on the careers and mobility of doctorate holders. This working paper presents the project's three main technical components.

This report presents various patent indicators to reflect recent trends in innovative activity across a wide range of OECD and non-OECD countries, with seven main sections: triadic patent families; patenting at national, regional and international level; patenting in selected technology areas; patents by institutional sectors; international cooperation in inventive activities; science linkages in technology.

Just published, this book draws from the OECD "Blue Sky II" Forum and presents policy needs, measurement issues and some of the challenges in developing indicators for cross-cutting and emerging topics in science, technology and innovation. It shares ideas to exploit existing data and develop new measurement frameworks. The debate is intended to guide future development of STI indicators at the OECD and beyond.

In order to foster innovation in their countries, governments first need to be able to measure it. The Oslo Manual has been the foremost international source of guidelines for the collection and use of data on innovation activities in industry. This newly updated edition also investigates the field of non-technological innovation and the linkages between different innovation types. It also includes an annex on the implementation of innovation surveys in developing countries.

This annual publication is a unique source of detailed and internationally comparable business R&D data, making it an invaluable tool for economic research and analysis. It reflects OECD efforts to improve the quality and availability of industrial research and development (R&D) expenditure data. The publication presents R&D expenditure data from the Analytical Business Research and Development database (ANBERD) in ISIC Revision 3 for 19 OECD countries as well as a zone total for the European Union.
