As research activities become extremely important in generating the economy through innovative products and ideas, the identification of field areas of research need attention for amendments or improvement to fulfil the requirements of current demands.

The classification of field areas of research is based on the impact of social needs and their significant contributions to our nation. The publication of new editions had gone through appraisal processes. The experts from GRI and universities are invited to share ideas in workshops. The validation of workshops’ outcomes are certified through third random assessments whereas comments from all universities research management centres are compiled and restructured.

Thus, MASTIC would like to express its gratitude to MOSTI’s Secretary General, Dato’ Madinah Mohammad, Deputy Secretary General (Policy), Dato’ Sharifah Zarah Syed Ahmad, Deputy Secretary General (Science), Datin Paduka Prof Dr. Khatijah Mohd Yusof and all experts for their support to accomplish and publish the Sixth Edition of MRDCS.

Finally, on behalf of MASTIC, I hope all research institutes, public and private sectors, would find this New Sixth Edition of MRDCS beneficial and valuable as the major reference for future innovative creation of the nation’s wealth.

OVERVIEW OF THE MRDCS

PURPOSE OF THE MRDCS

The MRDCS was first introduced in the 1992 National Survey of Research and Development. It was designed for classifying and describing research activities in Malaysia to the highest detail and accuracy. These classifications provide the basis for the measurement and analysis of R&D activities and statistics that are useful guidelines to government policy makers, industrialists and researches. It is also a useful indicator on the direction of R&D and technological change. As technological advances become increasingly dynamic, there are no limitations to the introduction of new researchable areas. The sixth edition of MRDCS is seen as a continuation and latest updates to address any presence of technological gaps and barriers. The standard framework set up in these classifications support distinct and highly distinguishable related R&D activities for ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in setting priorities, providing funds, maximising national R&D efforts and also as indicators for international comparisons.

THE SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION

Two internationally recognised systems were used in conjunction with the OECD, ‘Frascati Manual’ but further improved to support a variety of user interests within the Malaysian R&D context. The classifications are:

i. Field of Research (FOR) represents R&D activities classified according to their scientific and academic disciplines. These disciplines tend to be universally applicable, with national variations arising from the grouping of different research fields.

ii. Socio Economic Objective (SEO) allows R&D activities to be categorised according to their purposes or presumed sectoral benefits as perceived by the researchers. It consists of discrete economical, social, environmental, technological or scientific domain for identifying the principal purpose of the R&D. This system shows greater national variation according to a nation’s profile and development priorities.

The two classification systems must be considered in tandem as they cover the same activities but from two different and important perspectives.

STRUCTURE OF THE MRDCS

The FOR and SEO follows a hierarchal structure and are uniquely assigned Special codes F and S respectively. The remaining descending characters identify its Division, Category, Group and Area. The higher the hierarchy, the broader the subject area or research discipline. The FOR and SEO classifications hierarchy are assigned specific sub-codes to further portray the hierarchical differences in the classification structure.

The FOR has four hierarchical levels, starting at the Division (broadest level), Category, Group and Area (finest and where research project is allocated). Each level is identified with a unique number or code for easy reference. The illustration below shows the approach to the FOR hierarchical structure;

EXAMPLE ‘FOR’ : F1020104SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION : FDIVISION (1 Digit ) : 1 : Natural SciencesCATEGORY (2 Digit) : 02 : Physical SciencesGROUP (2 Digit) : 01 : Astronomy and AstrophysicsAREA (2 Digit) : 04 : Stellar System

The SEO is structured to have three hierarchical levels, the Division (broadest level), Category and Group (shows the main purpose of the R&D activities). The illustration below shows the SEO hierarchical structure;

EXAMPLE ‘SEO’ : S2010200SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION : SDIVISION (1 Digit) : 2 : Sustainable Economic DevelopmentCATEGORY (2 Digit) : 01 : Plant Production and Primary ProductsGROUP (4 Digit) :0100 : Food Security

Where a defined field cannot be identified within a research area or programme, the not elsewhere classified (n.e.c) connotation is used.

GUIDELINES FOR CLASSIFYING FIELD OF RESEARCH

There are 9 possible Divisions which represent broad subject areas or research disciplines, while Categories, Groups and Areas at the lowest level represent more detailed dissections of the categories which allow entry of more possible areas for future expansion.

The classification hierarchical manner is achieved by first determining the Division in which the research is being performed, followed by the most relevant Category within that Division and moving lower to the most relevant Group within that Category.

A research project or activity is located at the lowest end of the hierarchy, the AREA level. To achieve the classification hierarchy, it is vital for the researcher, first to identify from this Area level and progress to the higher level of the hierarchy (Group, Category and Division). There are identical titles within the different Groups and Categories which might be useful indicators not to be missed by the researchers. These guidelines are applicable to both the FOR and SEO classifications.

APPLICATION OF MRDCS

The classifications have been designed primarily to meet the needs in classifying research projects in a more consistent and structured manner. MRDCS would be able to provide considerable flexibilities to variety of users, addressing multi-

4

disciplinary works to be applied to one or more different purposes. The system used in this document would among others be applicable but not limited to the following activities:

Conducting National Survey for Research and Development; Applying for R&D funds such as TechnoFund and ScienceFund; and Identifying and codifying of the research projects and experts in database

development.

DEFINITIONS

Research and Development

The Frascati Manual “Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on Research and Experimental Development” 2002 defined the term R&D as comprising creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.

Boundaries of R&D

In real terms, there is a wide range of scientific and related activities that are not R&D but very closely linked to R&D, both through flows of information and in terms of operations, organisations, and resource allocation, which should be excluded when measuring R&D. These activities which do not have clear boundaries in support of R&D are listed below;

a. Education and Training of Personnel and Students. Postgraduate research, including supervision of the research is considered to

be R&D. The development of new teaching methods is also regarded as R&D. However, teaching and training students, using established methods and subject knowledge, is excluded.

b. Specialised Scientific and Technical Information Services Specialised scientific and technical information services which are undertaken

solely in support of R&D are regarded as R&D. Example of these are scientific data collection, coding, recording, classification, dissemination, translation, analysis and bibliographic services.

These specialised services are excluded if they are undertaken independently and not solely in support of R&D.

c. General Purpose or Routine Data Collection Collecting data in support of R&D work is included in R&D. However, data

collection of a general nature is excluded. This is normally carried by government agencies to record natural, biological, economic or social phenomena of general public or government interest. Examples are national population censuses, surveys of unemployment, topographical mapping and routine geographical surveys or environmental surveys.

d. Maintenance of National Standards Routine testing and analysis of materials, components, products, processes, soils,

atmospheres, etc. for standard compliance is excluded from R&D.

e. Feasibility Studies Feasibility studies undertaken in support of R&D are included. However, feasibility

study which involves gathering information about existing conditions, for use in deciding whether or not to implement a project, is excluded, e.g. a study to determine the viability of a petrochemical complex in a particular location.

f. Specialised Medical Care R&D includes the development of new treatments and procedures, including

such developments in conjunction with advanced medical care and examination usually carried out by university hospitals. However, routine investigations or normal application of specialised medical knowledge, techniques or equipment are excluded from R&D.

g. Clinical Trials Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials are included in R&D. Phase 4 clinical trials are

excluded from R&D, unless they bring about further scientific technological advance.

h. Patent and License Work Patent work connected directly with R&D projects is included in R&D. However,

commercial, administrative and legal work associated with patenting, copywriting and licensing, is excluded.

i. Policy Related Studies The boundary between certain related policy related studies as described in the

Frascati Manual and R&D is complex. In the Frascati Manual, policy related studies cover activities such as the ‘analysis and assessment of existing programmes, continued analysis and monitoring of external phenomena (e.g. defence and security analysis), legislative inquiry concerned with general government departmental policy or operations’. Rigour is required to separate policy related studies, which are not R&D from bona fide R&D policy work.

Studies to determine the effect of a specific national policy to a particular economic or social condition or social group have elements of R&D. Routine management studies or efficiency studies are excluded.

j. Marketing and Market Studies Market research and opinion polls are excluded from R&D.

k. Mineral Exploration The development of new or vastly improved methods of date acquisition,

processing and interpretation of data is included as R&D. Surveying undertaken as an integral part of an R&D project to observe geological phenomena is also

6

regarded as R&D. However the search for minerals using existing methods is excluded from R&D.

l. Prototypes and Pilot Plants The design, construction and testing of prototypes generally falls within the

scope of R&D. However, the trial production and copying of prototypes are excluded from R&D.

The construction and operation of pilot plants is part of R&D, provided this is

used to obtain experience or new data for evaluating hypotheses.

Pilot plants are excluded as soon as the experimental phase is over or as soon as they are used as normal commercial production units even if they continue to be described as ‘pilot plants’. If a pilot plant is used for combined operations, the component used for R&D is to be estimated.

Other activities, which are ancillary or consequential to R&D, are excluded. Examples of these are interpretative commentary using existing data, forecasting, operation research as a contribution to decision-making and the used of standard techniques in applied psychology to classify or diagnose human characteristics.

TYPES OF ACTVITY

Three types of activities applicable to R&D are recognised in this classification: Basic Research (Pure Basic Research and Strategic Basic Research); Applied Research; and Experimental Development.

Pure basic research: is experimental or theoretical work undertaken to acquire new knowledge without looking for long term benefits other than the advancement of knowledge.

Strategic basic research: is experimental or theoretical work undertaken to acquire new knowledge directed into specified broad areas in the expectation of new discoveries. It provides the broad base of knowledge necessary for the solution of recognised practical problems

Applied research: is also original work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge with a specific application in view. It is undertaken either to determine possible used for the findings of basic research or to determine new ways of achieving some specific and pre-determined objectives.

Experimental development: is systematic work, using existing knowledge gained from research and/or practical experience, which is directed to producing new materials, products or devices, installing new processes, systems and services, or improving substantially those already produced or installed.

FIELD OF RESEARCH (FOR)

This classification allows R&D activity to be categorised according to the field of research undertaken. In this respect, it is the nature of the R&D itself, specifically the methodology used which is being considered rather than the activity or the purpose of the performing unit.

FOR classification consists of discrete categories which identify research fields through various disciplines and major subfields as investigated by national research institutions, universities and related tertiary institutions, organisations and emerging areas of study. It reflects the expansion of research activity from the former 2 Division to the present 9 Division classification unit. Major structural changes have been included in this edition. Inclusion of a great number of new research areas is inevitable as the country’s development pace increases.

This new edition currently classified all the R&D activities into 9 Divisions (2 in last edition), 21 Categories (20 in last edition), 266 Groups (237 in last edition) and 3371 discrete Areas (3010 in last edition).

SOCIO ECONOMIC OBJECTIVE (SEO)

This classification allows R&D to be categorised according to the researcher perceived purpose, outcome or benefits from the research. The attributes applied in designing the SEO comprise of a combination of processes, products, health, education and other social and environmental aspects of particular interest.

Classifying an SEO category is subjective as this classification system chose by the data provider is based on their main purpose and presumed sectoral beneficiaries with great variations and sometimes overlapping. These variations will surface according to a nation’s profile and priorities.

The main Divisions and Categories for classifying R&D by SEO in this new edition are retained except for a few name changes in accordance to current research activities. However, major changes are seen in the Group unit where new research objectives are added due to research activities dynamics.
