INSTITUTE Science and Technology Management Un.ed Nation Information System (STMIS)and other secondary sources STMIS(e.g. database of scientists, research grants, Cv databases, etc): frequent source for the production of R&D statistics Recommendations: need close integration between the statistical system and the tmis need adjustments to produce comparable statistics taking into account issues of definitions and coverage need a balanced approach using both tmis and surveys need different approach to Private sector organizations as they are frequently not covered by these systems Www.uis. unesco. org
