3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Community Innovation Survey (CIS) is a survey about innovation activities in enterprises. The survey is designed to collect the information on types of innovation, processes of development of innovation like cooperation patterns, financing and expenditure, objectives of innovation activities or barriers for initiating or implementing innovation. The CIS provides statistics by type of innovators, economic activity and size class of enterprises. The survey is currently carried out every two years across the EU Member States, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries.
In order to ensure comparability across countries, Eurostat together with the countries develops a Harmonised Data Collection (HDC) questionnaire and drafts the methodological recommendations for implementation of each survey round.
CIS 2020 is a second in a row to implement concepts and methodology of the Oslo Manual 4th Edition revised in 2018. The changes in the CIS driven by the revision of the manual and their impact on collected indicators are described in the Statistics Explained article: Community Innovation Survey – new features.
The legal framework for CIS since 2012 is the Commission Regulation No 995/2012 that establishes the quality conditions for the data collection and transmission and identifies the obligatory cross-coverage of economic sectors, size class of enterprises and innovation indicators. The target population are enterprises with at least 10 employees classified in the core NACE economic sectors (see 3.3). Further activities may be covered on a voluntary basis in national datasets. Most statistics are based on the 3-year reference period (t, t-1, t-2), but some use only one calendar year (t or t-2). Please refer to the Annex section of the European metadata (ESMS) for details of the time coverage of collected indicators. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Indicators related to the enterprises are classified by country, economic activity (NACE Rev. 2), size class of enterprises and type of innovation.
The main typology of classification of enterprises in reference to innovation is the distinction between innovation-active enterprises (INN) and not innovation-active enterprises (NINN). The enterprise is considered as innovative (INN) if during the reference period it successfully introduced a a) product or a) business process innovation, c) completed but not yet implemented the innovation, d) had ongoing innovation activities, e) abandoned innovation activities or was f) engaged in in-house R&D or R&D contracted out. Non-innovative (NINN) enterprises had no innovation activity mentioned above whatsoever during the reference period. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The list of indicators covering the 3-year period and referring to one year according to the HDC is available in the Annex section of the European metadata (ESMS). |
|
|||
6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
CIS surveys are based on the Commission Regulation No 995/2012, implementing Decision No 1608/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the production and development of Community statistics on science and technology. This Regulation establishes innovation statistics on a statutory basis and makes the delivery of certain variables compulsory e.g. innovation activities, cooperation, development, expenditures and turnover (see the Regulation). Each survey wave may additionally include further variables. In addition, the Regulation defines the obligatory cross-coverage of economic sectors and size class of enterprises. |

10.7. Quality management - documentation | |||||||||||||||
Statistic's webpage covers the national documentation for quality management (largely with similar items than those in Eurostat quality reporting). |
|
|||
11.1. Quality assurance | |||
The quality management framework of the field of statistics is the European Statistics Code of Practice (CoP). The quality criteria of Official Statistics of Finland are also compatible with the European Statistics Code of Practice. Quality issues are critical and controlled at every stage of stastistical production process of innovation data -- in data collection, in data editing and in validating the final data. In the data collection of innovation data, the target is to attain an adequate and sufficient response rate (target 70 per cent) for the data to be representative enough. All the illogicalities, shortcomings, faults, missing values and other types of errors are identified and tried to be corrected. Data are corrected by various means, and the final data validated in multiple ways, such as |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Following Eurostat's methodological recommendations and using multiple ways of controlling the quality at every stage of the statistical process quarantee reliable and as unbiased and correct data as possible for enterprises innovation activity. CIS data covers however difficult items, such as innovation expenditure, which are very challenging for respondents to be provided. It is important to take this into account when using the data in order to avoid misinterpretation of the data. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Relevance is the degree to which statistics meet current and potential users needs. It includes the production of all needed statistics and the extent to which concepts used (definitions, classifications etc.) reflect user needs. The aim is to describe the extent to which the statistics are useful to, and used by, the broadest array of users. For this purpose, statisticians need to compile information, firstly about their users and their needs. The CIS is based on a common questionnaire and a common survey methodology, as laid down in the 4th edition of Oslo Manual (2018 edition), in order to achieve comparable, harmonised and high quality results for EU Member States, EFTA countries, Candidates and Associated countries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Key users of innovation data and innovation statistics are invited to discuss about and to comment (meetings or other contacts) the content of the forthcoming survey, i.e. the EU CIS harmonised data collection HDC, and about current information (user) needs before each survey round. It is also assessed whether there are themes and subjects, or topics, in addition to the harmonised data content, that should be covered in the national survey. This is a key tool for monitoring users' information needs and user satisfaction regarding innovation data. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.1.1. Needs at national level | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Actual and separate user satisfaction surveys have not been implemented for CIS. User satisfaction is tried to be quaranteed by discussing about the content of statistics with users already before every survey round (meetings with users and possibility to comment the content of survey described under 12.1). Also, if other feedback received, it is taken into account when surveys and publishing planned. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.3. Completeness | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All the mandatory data according to the EU legislation, and large set of voluntary data, are published and also provided to Eurostat. The data are available by industry and size category according to the EU recommendations. Industry data are presented mainly on the 2-digit level with the exception of industries that for data protection reasons have to be described as aggregated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not requested. |
|
||||||||||||||||||||
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). |
||||||||||||||||||||
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 for CIS data is the coefficient of variation (CV).
Coefficient of Variation= (Square root of the estimate of the sampling variance) / (Estimated value) Formula:
where |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.1. Coefficient of variations for key variables | ||||||||||||||||||||
Coefficient of variation (%) for key variables by NACE categories and for enterprises with 10 and more employees
[1] = Coefficient of variation for the percentage of innovative enterprises (INN) in the total population of enterprises (ENT20) |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.2.1.2. Variance estimation method | ||||||||||||||||||||
ETOS and SAS procedures |
||||||||||||||||||||
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 (or frame 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. |

Not requested. |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.2. Common units - proportion | ||||||||||||||||||||
Not requested. |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.3. Under covered groups of the target population | ||||||||||||||||||||
No under-coverage due to the use of national business register as a frame. |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.1.4. Coverage errors in coefficient variation | ||||||||||||||||||||
Over coverage units are eliminated from the estimation and the calculation of coefficient of variation. |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.2. Measurement error | ||||||||||||||||||||
Measurement errors occur during data collection and generate bias by recording values different than the true ones. The survey questionnaire used for data collection may have led to the recording of wrong values, or there may be respondent or interviewer bias. |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.2.1. Measures for reducing measurement errors | ||||||||||||||||||||
Training of personnel working with data collection and data editing, studying the concepts and the content of the survey resulting in ability to help respondents when difficulties with responding. The online questionnaire may consist some checks for invalid or inconsistent values, and the questionnaire follows model questionnaire's ordering and filtering. Data editing phase covers many kinds of checks and controlling (internal, compared to previous surveys, compared to other business data). |
||||||||||||||||||||
13.3.3. Non response error | ||||||||||||||||||||
Non response occurs when a survey fails 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 types of non-response: 1) Unit non-response, which occurs when no data (or so little as to be unusable) are collected about a population unit designated for data collection. a) Un-weighted unit non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of units with no response or not usable response) / (Total number of in-scope (eligible) units in the sample) b) Weighted unit non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of weighted units with no response or not usable response) / (Total number of in-scope (eligible) units in the sample) 2) Item non-response, which occurs when only data on some, but not all survey data items are collected about a population unit designated for data collection. a) Un-weighted item non-response rate (%) = 100*(Number of units with no response at all for the item) / (Total number of eligible, for the item, units in the sample i.e. filters have to be taken into account)

Comparability aims at measuring the impact of differences in applied statistical concepts and definitions on the comparison of statistics between geographical areas, non-geographical domains, or over time. The coherence of statistical outputs refers to the degree to which the statistical processes by which they were generated used the same concepts (classifications, definitions, and target populations) and harmonised methods. Coherent statistical outputs have the potential to be validly combined and used jointly. |
