Under the conditions of the transition to a market economy, R&D policy cannot be re-organized without a comprehensive evaluation of input and output of the national R&D system. This is why a radical revision of statistics becomes a crucial component for the transformation of the R&D system and the background for the development and implementation of a new R&D policy aimed at maintaining basic research potential. This paper is devoted to the problems of R&D statistics in Russia, its applicability for estimating basic research and comparability of data. The perspectives of Russian R&D statistics, for example, in connection with implementing international statistical standards, is also the focus of this paper. publisher: WP-94-061 date: 1994-07 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/4150/1/WP-94-061.pdf identifier: Gorodnikova, N.
