Analytical Report for 2013 NISTEP Expert Survey on Japanese S&T and Innovation System (2013 NISTEP TEITEN survey)

NISTEP expert survey on Japanese S&T and innovations system (NISTEP TEITEN survey) aims to track the status of S&T and innovation system in Japan through the survey to Japanese experts and researchers in universities, public research institutions, and private firms. It asks for respondents’ recognitions on the status of the S&T and innovation system, such as diversity in basic research, in Japan and usability of research funds, which is usually difficult to measure through the R&D statistics.
The NISTEP TEITEN survey is a panel survey which will be conducted annually in the duration of the fourth S&T basic plan (FY2011 – 2015). The 2013 NISTEP TEITEN survey is the third round. It was conducted from September 24, 2013 to December 24, 2013. The same questionnaire was sent to the same respondents who were selected in the first round.
Individual responses to 2012 NISTEP TEITEN survey were fed back to respondents in 2013 NISTEP TEITEN survey. Respondents were asked to provide comments about why he/she changed their evaluation from the previous survey or comments about supplemental information about their evaluation. Additional detailed survey was conducted for the following three issues; 1) the changes of the number of young scholars by employment status; 2) the status of independence of young and mid-career researchers; 3) the factors that hamper leading research outputs of Japanese universities to economic and social outcomes.
