5. Major problems in collecting
S&T statistics
Major problems in collecting S&T statistics in
Mongolia:
• Not established a national integrated system of S&T information
and statistics.
• Non-existence of completely information or data on Industry and
Business enterprise involvement into the S&T sector and that
makes difficult to determine the current condition of S&T sector in
Mongolia.
• Sometimes S&T statistical data and methodology on data
collection is different in Mongolia. For example: we don’t use the
“Full-time equivalence (FTEs)” indicator and don’t know how to
calculate them. Also some of indicators such as (“researchers”,
“publications”) should be calculated in accordance with the
internationally recognized methods.
Major problems in collecting S&T statistics in
Mongolia:
• The importance and role of the S&T statistical
information is very limited and public awareness on the
S&T statistical information is poor in Mongolia.
• Capacity of Institutional statisticians in the S&T sector is
very low and un experienced.
• Use of advanced ICT is the main negative factor for
collecting, processing and aggregating statistical data as
well as distributing this information to users.
• Lack surveys on monitoring and evaluation of S&T
statistical information and indicators at qualified level.
Future suggestions and actions to improve the
S&T statistics in Mongolia:
• Collecting and integrating S&T information and statistics
according to international classification and standards: To
increase the number of internationally comparable S&T
statistical data; to develop a guideline on definitions of the
main S&T indicators and methodologies these calculations.
• Calculating an Industry and Business enterprise
involvement into the S&T sector: Expanding the degree of
coverage of the Business enterprise and Industrial
institutions to the S&T statistical information; under this
framework need to integrate the National Statistical Office
of Mongolia, and use its human resource and national
statistical information network capacity.
Future suggestions and actions to improve the
S&T statistics in Mongolia:
• Collecting and integrating innovation statistics and data
according to international standards: developing of Law
on Innovation; to determine the main indicators for
respective innovation statistics need to be developed.
• Introduction of modern advanced ICT (software and
hardware) for collecting, processing and aggregating of
S&T statistical information.
• With the purpose of improving the capacity and
exchange of experiences of the statistical officials, to
involve and invite to the International or national
seminars and training workshops widely.
