preface
The Malaysian Research and Development Classification System (MRDCS) 5th Edition is a set of classifications designed for use in the measurement and analysis of research and development (R&D) activity undertaken in Malaysia, both in public and private sectors. The new edition is an extension and refinement of the 4th Edition. In the new edition, Scope Notes (SN) been added to the areas in the FOR and SEO only covered until Group. Malaysian Science and Technology Information Centre (MASTIC) has taken the task of producing this 5th Edition in cooperation with major users of the MRDCS from various research organisations. This consultative process was to ensure that the new MRDCS will be widely accepted and used as guidelines for classifying R&D activities in Malaysia. On behalf of MASTIC, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation's Secretary General, the Honourable Dato' Abdul Hanan Alang Endut and Deputy Secretary General (Policy), Datuk Alihan A Hamid for their support, and to all the experts (Annex) who have contributed in providing inputs, drafting, revising and producing this new edition. It is hoped that the MRDCS 5th Edition would be used as the main reference for R&D classification system in Malaysia and be utilised by all concerned.

CHAPTER 1
PURPOSE OF THE MRDCS The Malaysian Research and Development Classification System or MRDCS was first introduced in the 1992 National Survey of Research and Development. It was designed to provide accuracy and detail in describing research and development activities in Malaysia. These classifications provide the basis for the measurement and analysis of R&D activities and statistics that are useful guidelines to the government policy makers, industrialists and researchers. By utilising these classifications, relevant activities could be distinguished, hence ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in setting priorities, providing funds, maximising efforts and comparing Malaysian R&D efforts with those in other countries. THE SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION The classifications follow two internationally recognised systems: 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 based on the grouping of different research fields. Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) organises those same R&D activities by their purpose or presumed sectoral beneficiaries. This system shows greater national variation according to a nation's profile and priorities.

ii.

These two classification systems must be considered in tandem as they cover the same activity but from two different but importand perspectives. Both of which are necessary in giving a clear depiction of R&D activity in the context of knowledge and national development.

STRUCTURE OF THE MRDCS The Field of Research or FOR and Socio-Economic Objective or SEO are uniquely identified by special code where "F" refers to FOR and "S refers to SEO. The remaining characters identify the Division, Category, Group and Area as shown in the following example: 'ABXXYYZZ ' A B XX YY ZZ = SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION = DIVISION = CATEGORY = GROUP = AREA

Example (FOR) : F1040301 F: Field of Research ( SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION ) 1: Natural Sciences, Technologies and Engineering ( DIVISION ) 04: Earth Sciences ( CATEGORY ) 03: Geochemistry ( GROUP ) 01: Bio geochemistry ( AREA ) Example (SEO): S2010407 S: Socio-Economic Objective ( SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION ) 2: Economic Development ( DIVISION ) 01: Plant Reproduction and Plant Primary Products ( CATEGORY ) 04: Forestry ( GROUP ) n.e.c. - not elsewhere classified SN - Scope Notes GUIDELINES FOR CLASSIFYING RESEARCH FIELD There are nine possible Divisions and 99 possible Category, Group and Area levels to allow for future expansion of the classification. A research project is allocated to an Area in a hierarchical manner. This is achieved by first determining the Division in which the research is being performed, followed by the most relevant Category within that Division and then the most relevant Group within that Category. It is vital to first identify the higher level of classification because within the different Groups there are identical titles.

APPLICATION OF SYSTEM The MRDCS classifications have been designed primarily to meet the needs in classifying research projects in consistent and hierarchical manner. The system used in this document would among others be applicable for the following activities: Conducting the National Survey of Research and Development. Applying for R&D funds such as Techno Fund and Science Fund. Identifying and codifying of the research projects and experts in database development. DEFINITIONS This classification allows R&D activity to be categorised according to the types of research efforts, namely Basic Research, Applied Research and Experimental Development. The definitions and guidelines and scope of R&D activity are as follows: Research and Development R&D is defined according to the OECD standard 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". The boundaries 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. 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. Examples of these are scientific data collection, coding, recording, classification, dissemination, translation, analysis and bibliographic services. These specialized services are excluded if they are undertaken independently and not solely in support of R&D. General Purpose or Routine Data Collection Collection 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 out 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. 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. Feasibility Studies Feasibility studies undertaken in support of R&D are included. However, a 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. Specialized Medical Care R&D includes the development of new treatments and procedures, including such developments in conjunction with advanced medical care and examinations usually carried out by university hospitals. Patent and License work Patent work connected directly with R&D projects in included in R&D. However, commercial, administrative and legal work associated with patenting, copywriting and licensing, are excluded. Policy Related Studies The boundary between certain policies 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 effects 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. Marketing and Market Studies Market research and opinion polls are excluded from R&D. Mineral exploration The development of new or vastly improved methods of data 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 regarded as R&D. However the search for minerals using existing methods is excluded from R&D.

Prototypes and Pilot Plants The design, construction and testing of prototypes generally falls within the scope of R&D. However, trial production and copying of prototypes are excluded from R&D. The construction and operation of pilot plants is part of R&D provided that these are 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.

l.

Other activities, which are ancillary or consequential to R&D, are excluded. Examples of these are interpretative commentary using existing data, forecasting, operations research as a contribution to decision-making and the use of standard techniques in applied psychology to classify or diagnose human characteristics. Types of Activity. Three types of activity applicable to R&D are recognized in this classification namely: Basic research (Pure basic research & Strategic basic research) Applied research Experimental development Pure basic research is experimental and theoretical work undertaken to acquire new knowledge without looking for long-term benefits other than the advancement of knowledge. Strategic basic research is experimental and theoretical work undertaken to acquire new knowledge directed into specified broad areas in the expectation of useful discoveries. It provides the broad base of knowledge necessary for the solution of recognized practical problems. Applied research is 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 predetermined objectives. Experimental development is systematic work, using existing knowledge gained from research or practical experience that is directed to producing new materials, products or devices, to installing new processes, systems and services, or to improving substantially those already produced or installed.

CHAPTER 2
FIELD OF RESEARCH Field of Research or FOR 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, which is being examined rather than the activity of the performing unit or the purpose of the R&D. FOR consists of a set of discrete categories, which identify such research field. For new edition, FOR also covered all the areas from SEO. These fields include recognised academic disciplines and related major sub-fields taught at universities or tertiary institutions and organisations, and emerging areas of study. It reflects the expansion of research activity particularly in natural sciences, information, computer and communication technologies, the applied science and technologies, the biological and other natural science, such as mathematical sciences, the social science and the humanities. FOR represents R&D activities classified according to their scientific and academic disciplines currently have 2 Divisions, 18 Categories, 237 discrete Groups and 3001 Areas. Choose the FOR classification which most appropriately describes the scientific discipline you are practising.

CHAPTER 3
SOCIO ECONOMIC OBJECTIVE The Socio Economic Objective or SEO classification allows R&D data to be classified according to the researcher's perceived purpose (i.e. who benefits from the research). The purpose categories take account of processes, products, health, education and other social and environmental aspects of particular interest. Classifying to an SEO category is subjective, i.e. the category is chosen by the data provider to indicate the main purpose of R&D. Classifying a business to an industry is generally derived objectively through its main income generation activity. SEO organises those same R&D activities by their purpose or presumed sectoral beneficiaries. The systems, which show greater national variation according to a nation's profile and priorities currently, have 5 Division, 26 Category and 193 discrete group. Choose the SEO classification, which most appropriately describes the sector of the national economy, which will be the main beneficiary of the R&D you are practising. What's New In the 5th Edition, all areas covered in the SEO had been transferred to the FOR. The main purpose of doing this is because in the SEO, mostly only the objective to the country development benefit has been concentrated but not to focus on the R&D work.
