These composites represent the briefest possible "boil-down" of
the voluminous data regarding salary ranges, current annual
salary, and total annual cash compensation, and numerous demo-
graphic variables provided by 175 organizations regarding the
compensation of over 1,000 R&D practitioners in 100 benchmark
jobs. The end results of the survey, sponsored by Research and
Development Magazine, appear in Compensation in Research &
Development, 15th Edition, a three-volume, 489-page statistical
analysis of compensation practices in R&D. Copies of this report
are available $850.00 for all three volumes or $350.00 for each
volume (supervisory/managerial employees;
non-supervisory professionals; and technicians) from

consideration is given to the geographic location, type and size
of employer, supervisory/managerial responsibility, education and
experience, and discipline -- variables for which pay data are
presented in the complete report.
