Philippines Data in Focus - Data Sources and Estimations

Data sources

Primary data were collected through two institutional survey rounds in 1985 (under ISNAR's "Indicators Series Project") and 2003-2004 (under the ASTI initiative).

For additional secondary sources that were used to construct the pre-1996 data series, see data citations provided in Stads, Faylon, and Buendia (2007). www.asti.cgiar.org/pdf/PhilippinesCR.pdf .

Estimation procedures

• For a number of agencies, research staff and expenditure data were missing for certain years. These have been interpolated or in a few cases extrapolated.
• Expenditures for the higher-education agencies are estimates based on the average expenditures per researcher for the government agencies.
