PhD Researchers in the Business Sector: Domestic and Foreign Employment and Industry-Level Characteristics of Domestic R & D
R&D is performed globally by multinational enterprises (MNEs) and other businesses engaged in foreign investment or international trade. However, compared with other MNE activities, R&D by MNEs based in high-income countries is more concentrated in the home country. This InfoBrief presents new information on domestic versus foreign distribution of PhD researchers by U.S.-located companies that is consistent with these observations. Data are from the Business R&D and Innovation Survey, conducted by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation and by the U.S. Census Bureau...

Science and Engineering Publication Output Trends: 2017 Shows U.S. Output Level Slightly Below That of China but the United States Maintains Lead with Highly Cited Publications
Publication output in peer-reviewed science and engineering (S&E) journals, books, and conference proceedings serves as an indicator of scientific research activity. New data show that worldwide S&E publication output continues to grow, reaching 2.4 million in 2017, with the United States and China being the two largest producers in 2017 (17% and 19% of the world total). Globally, S&E publication output grew at an average annual rate of 4% between 2007 and 2017. This InfoBrief updates information on the international publication output trends presented in Science and Engineering Indicators 2018. (Source: NSF - Statistics o...

Differences in Master's and Doctoral Enrollment in Science, Engineering, and Health in 2017
Graduate enrollment by degree level and field of study are available for the first time through the 2017 Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering (GSS). These new data show 649,112 graduate students were enrolled in SEH programs in 2017, with 58% pursuing master ' s degrees and 42% pursuing doctoral degrees. More graduate students were enrolled in science (415,568) than combined in engineering (165,581) and health (67,963). Enrollment in master ' s programs was seen for 77% of graduate students in health, 58% of graduate students in engineering, and 55% of graduate students in science. (Sou...

Software R & D: Revised Treatment in U.S. National Accounts and Related Trends in Business R & D Expenditures
A recent change in the treatment of software R&D in the U.S. GDP and other national income and product accounts (NIPAs), published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), underscores the importance of software for U.S. R&D statistics. In the past, software R&D expenditures were capitalized under software investment—not under R&D—to avoid duplication, because software was already considered a fixed asset. However, this also meant that under NIPA, ' R&D investment ' was effectively non-software R&D investment. The 2018 Comprehensive Update of the NIPAs reclassified software R&D as R&D investment to resolve this...
