Although every effort has been made to ensure that these data conform to the international standards, some exceptions do occur.

Otherwise individual data items have been flagged to indicate an anomaly or exception to the standard definitions.

Please ensure that you refer to the methodological notes and flags when you are drawing conclusions based on these data, in particular the countries with the smallest scientific populations.
