The respondents and questionnaire were revised in the 2011 expert survey. The respondents were selected to measure the differences in recognition across different sectors. The stratified sampling of the respondents was adopted for the universities’ respondents in order to measure the differences of recognition across the field of science and the size of universities. New questions regarding innovation policies and actives were added in accordance with emphases on the linkage between S&T and innovation policy in the fourth S&T basic plan.
