NAICS = North American Industry Classification System
aIncludes domestic R&D performance for software publishers (NAICS 5112), computer systems design and related service industries (NAICS 5415), and Internet service providers, web search portals, and data processing services (NAICS 518).
bIncludes domestic R&D performance for the computer and electronics industry (NAICS 334), except for federal R&D for the navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments industry (NAICS 3345), which is included in the aerospace and defense manufacturing sector.
cIncludes domestic R&D performance for the aerospace products and parts industry (NAICS 3364), plus all federal R&D for the navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments (NAICS 3345) and transportation equipment manufacturing industries.
dIncludes domestic R&D performance for the architectural, engineering, and related services (NAICS 5413) and scientific R&D services industries (NAICS 5417).
eIncludes domestic R&D performance for automobiles, bodies, trailers, and parts (NAICS 3361-3363) and transportation equipment (NAICS 336) industries, except federally funded components that are included in the aerospace and defense manufacturing group.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Industry classification based on dominant business code for domestic R&D performance where available. For companies that did not report business codes, classification used for sampling was assigned.
