Definition: Research coefficients
Category: Frascati Manual
Research coefficients are fractions or proportions applied to statistics describing the total resources of the higher education sector. They are derived in a number of ways, ranging from informed guesses to sophisticated models. Whatever the method used, they are a useful alternative to the more costly large-scale surveys of researchers and/or higher education institutions. The accuracy of the coefficients depends on the quality of the judgement applied to their calculation; the accuracy of the resultant estimates depends on the quality of the data to which they are applied and the detail available for both data and coefficients. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/Frascati_Manual_1993_EN.pdf
