3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||
Statistics on higher education R&D (HERD) measure research and experimental development (R&D) performed in the higher education sector, i.e. R&D expenditure and R&D personnel. In line with this objective the target population for the national R&D survey of the higher education sector should consist of all R&D performing institutional units (including all R&D performers – occasional and continuous, known and unknown - in all branches and size classes) belonging to this sector. The main concepts and definitions used for the production of R&D statistics are given by the OECD (2015), Frascati Manual 2015: Guidelines for Collecting and Reporting Data on Research and Experimental Development, The Measurement of Scientific, Technological and Innovation Activities, which is the internationally recognised standard methodology for collecting R&D statistics and Eurostat’s European Business Statistics Methodological Manual on R&D Statistics(EBS Methodological Manual on R&D Statistics) complements this with guidelines for further harmonisation among EU, EFTA and candidate countries. Since the beginning of 2021, the collection of R&D statistics is based on Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2020/1197 of 30 July 2020. The Regulation sets the framework for the collection of R&D statistics and specifies the main variables of interest and their breakdowns at predefined level of detail. Statistics on science, technology and innovation were collected until the end of 2020 based on Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2012/995 concerning the production and development of Community statistics on science and technology. |

The target population is the population for which inferences are made. The frame (or frames, as sometimes several frames are used) is a device that permits access to population units. The frame population is the set of population units which can be accessed through the frame and the survey data really refer to this population of institutional units. The objective of the European R&D statistics is to cover all intramural R&D activities. In line with this objective, the target population for the national R&D survey of the HES Sector should consist of all R&D performing institutional units (including known R&D performers or assumed to perform R&D). In practise however, countries in their R&D surveys might have difficulty in identifying R&D activities at the municipality level.

The number and variety of current administrative records are used for R&D calculations. The administrative records also use for control of R&D web questionnaire. The web questionnaire contains a large number of automatic plausibility checks. Data also is guaranteed according to law 5429. Quality evaluation of R&D statistics is carried out based on the information provided in the national and international quality reports |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
During Frascati Manual revision process, TurkStat was in close cooperation with EU Member States and Eurostat. The questionnaires sent by OECD and Eurostat were examined, the breakdowns that were not collecting were specified. Afterwards, the variables / breakdowns were included in the revised questionnaires. Considering the updated manual and additional data requirements, data collection methods and reporting process were enhanced in a similar way to the other national statistical offices. The survey has high response rates (2021: 100%) and the intensive check mechanism using for to guarantee a very high data quality, As a result, quality of the R&D data is very good. The methodological measures taken are in compliance with the Frascati manual recommendations. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accuracy in the statistical sense denotes the closeness of computations or estimates to the exact or true values. Statistics are not equal with the true values because of variability (the statistics change from implementation to implementation of the survey due to random effects) and bias (the average of the possible values of the statistics from implementation to implementation is not equal to the true value due to systematic effects).
Several types of statistical errors occur during the survey process. The following typology of errors has been adopted: 1. Sampling errors. These only affect sample surveys. They are due to the fact that only a subset of the population, usually randomly selected, is enumerated. 2. Non-sampling errors. Non-sampling errors affect sample surveys and complete enumerations alike and comprise: a) Coverage errors, b) Measurement errors, c) Non response errors and d) Processing errors.
Model assumption errors should be treated under the heading of the respective error they are trying to reduce. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.1.1. Accuracy - Overall by 'Types of Error' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1) Ranking of the type(s) of errors that result in over/under-estimation, from the most important source of error (1) to the least important source of error (5). In the event that errors of a particular type do not exist, is used the sign ‘-‘. 2) The perceived direction of the ‘overall’ error using the signs “+” for over estimation, “-” for under estimation and “+/-” when assumption of the direction of the error cannot be made for R&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.1.2. Assessment of the accuracy with regard to the main indicators | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1) 'Very Good' = High level of coverage (annual rate of substitution in the target population lower than 5%). High average rates of response (>80%) in census and sample surveys. Full data consistency with reference to totals and relationships between variables in the dataset sent to Eurostat. 2) 'Good' = In the event that at least one out of the three criteria above described would not be fully met. 3) 'Satisfactory' = In the event that the average rate of response would be lower than 60% even by meeting the two remaining criteria. 4) 'Poor' = In the event that the average rate of response would be lower than 60% and at least one of the two remaining criteria would not be met. 5) 'Very Poor' = If all the three criteria are not met. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2. Sampling error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
That part of the difference between a population value and an estimate thereof, derived from a random sample, which is due to the fact that only a subset of the population is enumerated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1. Sampling error - indicators | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The main indicator used to measure sampling errors is the coefficient of variation (CV). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.1. Variance Estimation Method | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Does not apply. Census survey. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.3. Coefficient of variation for R&D expenditure by function and qualification | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3. Non-sampling error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-sampling errors occur in all phases of a survey. They add to the sampling errors (if present) and contribute to decreasing overall accuracy. It is important to assess their relative weight in the total error and devote appropriate resources for their control and assessment. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1. Coverage error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Coverage errors are due to divergences between the target population and the frame population. The frame population is the set of target population members that has a chance to be selected into the survey sample. It is a listing of all items in the population from which the sample is drawn that contains contact details as well as sufficient information to perform stratification and sampling.
a) Description/assessment of coverage errors: No such errors known.
b) Measures taken to reduce their effect:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.1. Over-coverage - rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No such errors known. (Census) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.2. Common units - proportion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not requested. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.2. Measurement error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Measurement errors occur during data collection and generate bias by recording values different than the true ones (e.g. difficulty to distinguish intramural from extramural R&D Expenditure). The survey questionnaire used for data collection may have led to the recording of wrong values, or there may be respondent or interviewer bias.
a) Description/assessment of measurement errors: No such errors known.
b) Measures taken to reduce their effect:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.3. Non response error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-response occurs when a survey failed to collect data on all survey variables from all the population units designated for data collection in a sample or complete enumeration. There are two elements of non-response: -Unit non-response which occurs when no data (or so little as to be unusable) are collected on a designated population unit. -Item non-response which occurs when data only on some, but not all survey variables are collected on a designated population unit. The extent of response (and accordingly of non response) is also measured with response rates. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.3.1. Unit non-response - rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The main interest is to judge if the response from the target population was satisfactory by computing the un-weighted response rate. Definition: Eligible are the survey units which indeed belong to the target population. Frame imperfections always leave the possibility that some units may not belong to the target population. Moreover, when there is no contact with certain units and no other way to establish their eligibility they are characterised as ‘unknown eligibility units’. Un-weighted Unit Non- Response Rate = 1 - (Number of units with a response) / (Total number of eligible and unknown eligibility units in the survey) |

Census, The information is collected to be used only for statistical work, privacy is guaranteed by Law No. 5429. Not answering the questionnaire is prohibited by law. If the questionnaire is not filled out in a transparent, accurate and in time , the responding unit encounter penalty due to relevant law. It can not be used as evidence for emergence of any liability or investigation. This privacy is the legal responsibility of Turkish Statistical Institute. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.4. Processing error | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Between data collection and the beginning of statistical analysis, data must undergo a certain processing: coding, data entry, data editing, imputation, etc. Errors introduced at these stages are called processing errors. Data editing identifies inconsistencies or errors in the data. |

15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This part deals with any national coherence assessments which may have been undertaken. It reports results for variables which are the same or relevant to R&D statistics, from other national surveys and / or administrative sources and explains and comments on their degree of agreement with R&D statistics. The education statistics (UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat (UOE)) include R&D expenditure in tertiary educational institutions and follow the recommendations of the Frascati manual regarding the definition of R&D expenditure. Due to the differences in the coverage some differences in the two datasets (UOE questionnaire and the R&D HES surveys) are expected. However, there is a need to ensure that a harmonised approach is used for compiling data in the two domains. The two statistical domains should aim for a consistent use of R&D coefficients for splitting teaching and research time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not requested. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
R&D statistics are produced according to System of National Accounts (SNA) and Frascati Manual 2015. Fallowing provisional data on R&D expenditure are provided to National Accounts Unit : *Gross domestic expenditure on R&D by sector and type of cost *Gross domestic expenditure on R&D by sector of performance and by source of funds |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.4.1. Comparison between preliminary and final data | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This part compares key R&D variables as preliminary and final data.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.4.2. Consistency between R&D personnel and expenditure | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Calculate the average remuneration (cost) of individuals belonging to the internal R&D personnel, excluding those who are only formally ‘employees’ (university students, grant holders, etc.). (2) Calculate the average remuneration (cost) of individuals belonging to the external R&D personnel (FTEs/other current R&D costs for external R&D personnel). |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
The assessment of costs associated with a statistical product is a rather complicated task since there must exist a mechanism for appointing portions of shared costs (for instance shared IT resources and dissemination channels) and overheads (office space, utility bills etc). The assessment must become detailed and clear enough so that international comparisons among agencies of different structures are feasible. |
