Abstract
The methodology for the analysis of national agricultural research systems (NARS) in small countries consists of three parts. Part one contains the statement of the problem, the definition of small country NARS, and the sample of countries that are the focus of the study. It also defines the objectives of the study. Part two is the analytical methodology. Itdefines the concepts to be used in the study, provides common terminology, and classifies the areas of information needed to conduct the analysis. The approach is to employ concepts that allow us to match information about the demand, capacity, and objectives of national agricultural research withthe broader regional and global environment in which it takes place. Part three defines specific categories of information needed to substantiate the analysis and conclusions of the study. The data fields as defined in part three are also used to compile a global data base on agricultural researchin small countries that can be used in decision-making frameworks or to generate working hypotheses about maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of small country NARS
