Online Database
The 2009 R&D Scoreboard contains data on the latest year's R&D and the 4 previous years, both for the top 1,000 Global R&D companies and the top 1,000 UK R&D companies. The previous years' R&D investments for companies not disclosing their figures in pounds sterling have been converted using the exchange rates as disclosed in the section "Notes on Scope, definitions and data sources" (pages 292-299 of volume 2). These are the exchange rates as of 31st December 2008. Figures from previous Scoreboards should not be compared with those given for the 2009 Scoreboard since they will have been converted to pounds sterling at the exchange rates prevailing in earlier years which will be different in almost all cases.
