Qualitative indicators are scored by Economist Intelligence Unit analysts according to specific scoring criteria. Quantitative indicators are normalised through the population set so that each country is measured from 0 to 1 by applying a formula to each data point. Each indicator is then converted into a score of 0-100. The composite score for each country is also based on an index range of 0 to 100, with 100 representing the highest and best possible score. The data used in the rankings are sourced from the Economist Intelligence Unit, the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Intellectual Property Organization, IDC, Pyramid Research and other organizations.

The Economist Intelligence Unit is the business information arm of The Economist Group, publisher of The Economist.
