In Iceland, from 2015, the implementation of the 2015 Frascati Manual edition has affected the distribution of personnel data by occupation. From reference year 2013, the R&D data collection methodology has been changed resulting in breaks in series. The main differences concern the redesign of the questionnaire, use of business registers in the sample selection mechanism, the legal obligation for firms to respond, the definition of key R&D concepts in the questionnaire, and changes in the allocation of institutions into the business or government sectors. New sampling methods caused a break in series in 2010 (or in 2011 for sectors with no 2010 data).
From 2014 onward, GBARD data are provided by Statistics Iceland and are compiled according to the Frascati Manual guidelines. From 2006, GBARD data make better use of R&D information from the state budget and are based on a better coverage of relevant R&D funding in major recipients organizations. From 1993, new methods for collecting and processing budget data for GBARD result in a break in series.
