“…Caloghirou and Zambarloukos (2000) point out that in Greece there is insufficient evaluation of proposals submitted to competitive research programmes and even less assessment of the progress of funded projects. Moreover, apart from two papers (Tsipouri, 1991;Zachos, 1991) there is no evidence that S&T indicators are providing the type of information that would be useful to Greek policy makers.This paper seeks to provide such information.

ANY COUNTRIES ROUTINELY use science and technology (S&T) indicators to monitor and evaluate the performance of research organisations and to improve policy decisions. Caloghirou and Zambarloukos (2000) point out that in Greece there is insufficient evaluation of proposals submitted to competitive research programmes and even less assessment of the progress of funded projects. Moreover, apart from two papers (Tsipouri, 1991;Zachos, 1991) there is no evidence that S&T indicators are providing the type of information that would be useful to Greek policy makers.This paper seeks to provide such information. It focuses on biotechnology because, during the past two decades, this has been regarded as one of the three top priority areas for science and technology development in Greece. It uses bibliometric analysis to evaluate how far Greek national policy for biotechnology is meeting its objectives.By setting such analysis in the context of relevant characteristics of the Greek economy and describing the policies involved, it is possible to identify some of the factors explaining the gap between policy intentions and their realisation. 1 Greece is a less developed country with an intermediate economy; the problems encountered by its policies for an emerging field, biotechnology, may have lessons for the design of policy for emerging technologies in similar countries.The first part of the paper describes the nature of the Greek economy and the policies developed to respond to the opportunities offered by biotechnology. The second part describes the methods used to evaluate the impact of policy and the third part presents the results. Explanations for these results are discussed in the conclusions. M

Mixed-indicators model for identifying emerging research areas

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study presents a mixed model that combines different indicators to describe and predict key structural and dynamic features of emerging research areas. Three indicators are combined: sudden increases in the frequency of specific words; the number and speed by which new authors are attracted to an emerging research area, and changes in the interdisciplinarity of cited references. The mixed model is applied to four emerging research areas: RNAi, Nano, h-Index, and Impact Factor research using papers published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (1982) and in Scientometrics (1978. Results are compared in terms of strengths and temporal dynamics. Results show that the indicators are indicative of emerging areas and they exhibit interesting temporal correlations: new authors enter the area first, then the interdisciplinarity of paper references increases, then word bursts occur. All workflows are reported in a manner that supports replication and extension by others.
