In this short-communication, I briefly summarize the subject-selection pattern of researches published on the BJSTR since the late 2016. While most publishing researchers came from Middle-East, Africa, East Asia and Eastern Europe, they tended to focus on a specific theme or phenomenon, by region. First, recent African publishers tended to focus on breast-disease; however, based on other literature on other regions, this does not seem to be product of African region's special feature, nor genetic idiosyncrasy of African women -their genetic diversity is even wider than any other part of the world. In the case of China, its researchers tended to focus on plant substances and brain symptoms, due to its emphasis on traditional medicine and recent growing concerns on elderly's mental health. Meanwhile, Korean researchers tended to prioritize on overcoming chronic diseases, with more emphasis on the early diagnosis over late treatment and focus on transformation of human-body organs. With those examples, it is shown how different societies tend to form researchers' collective interests.
Amid increasing significance of Science and Technology (S &T) cooperation in international relations, here I suggest a strategy to boost its bilateral progress. That is, analyzing very in detail regarding ongoing projects of national institutes of a specific country, and then confirm its drawbacks and needs that can be supplemented by its partner who is not so dominant in power but is leading in different technological fields.With closer look at Chile's ongoing national institutes' projects and its drawbacks/needs that could be covered by South Korea's status, I will show an example telling how grasping detailed technological current priority and exact needs are important for pinpoint where to make cooperation. And this task, of course, should be an academic task, not reserved for policy-makers who cannot afford everything to understand counter-part country's all scientific national projects. To apply this logic to Chile and Korea, I would like to suggest potential areas for further Korea-Chile's STC, by conjecturing on technological traits and needs which are seen from Chilean national institutes' projects, and by comparing them with programs of the same institutes in Korea.My research reveals the follows. Most of economical projects are run by Foundation of Chile having quite sophisticated projects, unlike most foundations doing only financing. Meanwhile, environmental projects and mining are very developed in Chile and thus no much cooperation with Korea would be needed. Conversely, Chile fails to take advantage of its good IT environment for national institutes' programs; no programs using GIS or biomass which are very settled in Korea's governance. Besides, the geographical information's and measurement equipment are another disadvantaged field, leaving potentials for S & T cooperation. With those analyses, I show how the detailed, apparatuscentered technological analyses of national S &T projects can provide crucial hints for where and how to cooperate in S & T, bilaterally. Introductory Parts Foreseeing Needed Areas for Further S & T Cooperation -That is Researchers' JobMore recently, numerous studies confirm the increasing influence and significance of international cooperation in science and technology (just to take some exemplary citations, [1][2][3][4].Given that, there might be some needs for certain strategies to make more effective and rapid the processes of boosting bilateral cooperation. In the present paper, I propose an approach for this purpose, remarked by analyzing the comparative advantage and disadvantages of a country's S & T, manly through the ongoing project of its national scientific institutes. And this analysis should be done in comparison with other country whose overall development is relatively similar, being that in some areas it is more advanced but in other in other S&T areas. In simpler expression, by comparing technological traits from national institutes, in respect to its counterparts similar in overall development, we can see what this country has more and what it lacks mor...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
