Figures behind the country indicate R&D expenditure as a percentage of GDP(%), researchers per 1,000 employment (FTE), and R&D expenditure (Billion USD PPP) respectively. 3. The data year of most countries is 2010, while 2008 for Australia and Switzerland. The R&D expenditure data year for US is 2009. Manpower for Canada and France is 2009, while 2007 for US.
