The 2004 Science and Engineering (S&E) Indicators report, produced biennially by the National Science Board (also reported on in the May 10, 2002 report), is considered "the nation's most authoritative source for national and international science and engineering trends in education, the labor force, academia and the global marketplace, as well as nationwide and statewide expenditures for research and development." The NSF press release summarizes the findings and offers a link to the full (much longer) report. This 2004 issue is the first time that the report also includes a chapter with state-by-state breakdowns of key S&E indicators.
