Methodology

## What this measures

Australia's overall score in the Global Innovation Index, WIPO's yearly composite of about eighty indicators of innovation inputs (institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, market and business sophistication) and outputs (knowledge, technology and creative outputs).

## Why it matters

The score shows how far apart economies are, which the rank hides. The leaders are often separated by fractions of a point.

## How to read it

A score from 0 to 100; higher is more innovative. Each point is one edition, dated September 1 of the year it was published. Compare scores across economies within one edition. Across editions, read the score with care: WIPO revises the model and the indicators each year, so scores are not strictly comparable from one year to the next. The rank is the cleaner read over time.

## What it does not say

It is a composite built on WIPO's own weighting choices, not a measured quantity, and it does not say why an economy moved. The indicator-level detail is in WIPO's economy profiles.
