  • 2. Results of the pilot survey on nanotechnologies Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210323
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Although nanotechnology can be thought of as a sector of its own, it is clear that nanotechnology is a cross-sector phenomenon with potentially significant impacts. Nanotechnologies can be found in areas as diverse as biotechnology and health, agriculture, electronics and computer technology, environment and energy, optics, and in materials and manufacturing.

    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210324
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Statistics Canada is actively involved with the international community in developing statistical information on nanotechnologies. This article summarizes the ongoing work of the OECD's newly-established Working Party on Nanotechnology, with particular emphasis on the role of Statistics Canada.

  • 4. Firm characteristics and fund-raising activities of biotech firms in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210325
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Innovative biotechnology firms are science-based firms which attempt to bring an application of biotechnology to the market. However, it is clear that a significant proportion of these firms derive no revenue from product sales while their products proceed through the various phases of testing and regulatory approval. In order to support their operations they must look to other sources of funding.

  • 5. Start-up funding sources and biotechnology firm growth Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X200700210326
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Although private investors and government funding agencies have learned that the biotechnology sector requires a funding model different from that of traditional manufacturing, there is a paucity of empirical research investigating the links between characteristics of the funding model and firm performance. The purpose of this article is to examine which funding sources have the greatest influence on firm growth.

  • 6. Overview and Discussion of the Results of the Pilot Survey on Nanotechnology in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 88F0006X2007005
    Description:

    This working paper provides results from a pilot survey on nanotechnology, which was appended to the Biotechnology Use and Development Survey 2005. The paper presents the conceptual issues and survey challenges relating to measurement of nanotechnology-related activities, as well as preliminary data on nanotechnology firms in Canada.

  • 7. Biotechnology scientific activities in federal government departments and agencies, 2005/2006 Archived
    Stats in brief: 88-001-X20070039614
    Description:

    Data on science and technology (S&T) expenditures and full-time equivalent personnel allocated to biotechnology for fiscal year 2005/2006 were collected from selected federal government departments and agencies. This information contributes to the work of the Canadian Biotechnology Strategy. The biotechnology S&T data comprise expenditures on research and development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) for both intramural and extramural performers and the full-time equivalent personnel associated with these activities.

Search help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
