Oslo Manual 2018

Guidelines for collecting, reporting and using data on innovation


http://oe.cd/oslomanual

As the internationally recognised methodology for collecting and using innovation statistics, the Oslo
Manual is an essential worldwide tool for statisticians and policy makers concerned with innovation. It
includes definitions of basic concepts, data collection guidelines, and classifications for compiling innovation
statistics. The 2018 edition contains improved guidance reflecting evolving user interests and accumulated
practical experience. It includes new material dedicated to supporting the measurement of innovation
outside the business sector, understanding the internal and external drivers of business innovation as well
as a firm’s most important innovation, and facilitating better use of innovation data for statistics and analysis.

How is innovation defined?


The Oslo Manual distinguishes between innovation as an outcome (an innovation) and the activities
by which innovations come about (innovation activities). This edition defines an innovation as “a new
or improved product or process (or combination thereof) that differs significantly from the unit’s
previous products or processes and that has been made available to potential users (product) or
brought into use by the unit (process)”. This general definition is given a more precise formulation
for use with businesses, which represent the main focus of this manual.

Did you know?
This manual owes its name to the city where the OECD
Working Party of National Experts on Science and
Technology Indicators (NESTI) first agreed on a
 common approach to measure and report statistics on
innovation in the early 1990s. Business innovation
surveys based on the Oslo Manual have been carried
 out in at least 80 countries. The Oslo Manual
approach has also been adapted by other
organisations and researchers worldwide.

Where to find business innovation data and


related guidance
The Oslo Manual provides the basis for collecting and
reporting innovation data in countries The OECD,
Eurostat and other international organisations collect
and publish statistics on business innovation. Key
innovation indicators are published by OECD at
