Science and Technology Indicators

Page for "Science and Technology Indicators" created by the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP). To systematically understand Japan's science and technology activities based on objective and quantitative data, it displays the status of Japan and other countries through approximately 160 indicators in five categories: "Research and Development Expenditure," "Research and Development Personnel," "Higher Education and Science and Technology Personnel," "Research and Development Output," and "Science, Technology and Innovation." The latest version, "Science and Technology Indicators 2025" (Survey Material-349, August 2025), is published, providing summaries, overviews, full reports, statistical collection PDF versions, press release materials, HTML statistical collections (supporting Excel downloads for all tables), and explanatory material PDF versions (4MB, organizing key points with slides from Science Research Benchmarking 2025). It also includes a complete list of Science and Technology Indicators columns, explanations of the Frascati Manual 2015, and a history of past reports, functioning as a database spanning over 30 years from the 2024 version to the 1991 version. Citations require source attribution and serve as a core NISTEP activity, continuously providing fundamental materials for science and technology policy formulation.
