Before India became an independent country, its scientists and policy makers could foreseethe importance of science in its development, and accordingly a number of research anddevelopment (R&D) institutions were established. However during these five decades ofindependence, the choice between basic sciences and technology was always a subject of debate.It will be appropriate now to examine the changing patterns of Science and Technology (S&T)manpower growth to find out the ground truth reality. The present study pertains to the analysis ofS&T outturn data in various fields of scientific research that can provide a base for S&T planningand policy making. These S&T indicators will be helpful in estimating future requirements, whichin turn can be useful to a great extent in science and technology policy formulation. Theseestimates and future projections are based on mathematical modelling of the data pertaining to theoutturn of highly qualified Scientific and Technical (S&T) personnel in India from differentfaculties over the period 1990-1998. From the trend analysis it is evident that research is no moreperceived as an interesting career except in the field of engineering and medicine. The findingsfurther suggest that there is a noticeable shift from basic sciences to technology. 相似文献

Two relevant recent developments in the area of science and technology (S&T) and related policy-making motivate this article:
first, bibliometric data on a specific research area’s performance becomes an increasingly relevant source for S&T policy-making
and evaluation. This trend is embedded in wider discussions on evidence-based policy-making. Secondly, the scientific output
of Southeast Asian countries is rising, as is the number of international research collaborations with the second area of
our interest: Europe. Against this background, we employ basic bibliometric methodology in order to draw a picture of Southeast
Asian research strengths as well the amount and focus of S&T cooperation between the countries in Southeast Asia and the European
Union. The results can prove useful for an interested public as well as for the scientific community and science, technology
and innovation policy-making. 相似文献

Summary The main characteristics, human resources, organizational development, R&D output and outcome of the Venezuelan scientific and technological community, are studied in depth for three specific dates - years 1954, 1983 and 1999 -, aiming to reveal its strengths and weaknesses and to establish its dynamics. During the first half of the twentieth century, Venezuela had no major organized or institutionalized scientific activity. From 1954 thru 1983, the State built a considerable number of institutions mostly for research and development activities. Initially, researchers came from classical professions but were later substituted by graduates in scientific and technological disciplines. Biomedical and basic sciences are the areas of knowledge favored by researchers while, in terms of intellectual creation, social sciences and humanities seem to be the less productive, despite being one of the fields of knowledge embraced by most professionals. Although from 1983 on there has been no major input to the national S&T system, the research community showed a few years of growth in absolute terms in the number of publications, however national productivity decreased during the last decade of the century. It is believed that this reflects an aging, asphyxiated and self-consuming community using its reserves at a maximum rate. The S&T system constructed exhibits a dominance of the public sector that privileged, financially, the hydrocarbon related technological/service industry at the expense of academic research in universities while maintaining agribusiness related service and developmental research at the same level of expenditure throughout the last twenty years of the twentieth century. While the generation - practically from zero - of a modern R&D community in Venezuela, together with higher education, could well be one of the most significant accomplishments of democracy in Venezuela, this remarkable social achievement has been put in peril by neglect and changes in public policies. Downturn of the national S&T system is bound to worsen due to a virtual collapse, on February 4, 2002, of the R&D centre of the nationalized oil industry. 相似文献

Biotechnology is an expanding interdisciplinary field in which the interactions of science and technology (S&T) are more and more intensified. Question raised regarding the dynamic interactions between S&T encourages us to propose a series of methodologies for examination. Using high-impact publications and patents as the proxy measures, two document sets are transformed into the scientific and technical front trajectories respectively, and then each subject is categorized into either basic science, or applied technology, or co-existence. The results show that, in the biotechnology field, subjects of embryonic or mesenchymal stem cells, RNA interference, microRNA, and microbial fuel cell are in the basic science phase; those of plant breeding, seed diversity, and taste receptors have been applied to practice. There also exists interactions between S&T in the subjects of disease treatment and gene analysis platform, in which the behavior of technology precedes science, science precedes technology, or synchronous development can be observed. 相似文献

By making comparison of the science indicators, the author has critically examined the development of science and technology
(S&T) in India and Brazil. The SWOT analysis indicate that, with the support of federal government, both of these developing
countries have built capacities and capabilities in many areas of S&T towards attaining self-reliance and have developed potential
to excel in the world-market and face challenges thereof. India and Brazil are continuing to make efforts for attaining the
transition from a developing to a developed country and reviewing S&T policies towards achieving industrial competitiveness.

The S&T indicators activity is first described as a complex process involving a variety of functions, capabilities and institutions;
this provides a framework to assess the S&T indicators activity in a country or, more generally, in a research system. Then,
the main features of the S&T indicators scene in Europe are presented: regarding the countries, the diversity of the institutional
settings and the growing potentials is stressed; among countries, at European level, the important and original role of the
European Commission in the dynamics of the S&T indicators activites in Europe is presented; finally, it is argued that the
European scene consists of a diversity of research groups which are in competition and collaboration, sharing a number of
intellectual concerns and orientations. The perspectives for S&T indicators activity in the EU countries are defined by the
greater quantity of source data, by the conceptual advances regarding the S&T system and by the new needs of the decision-makers.
In conclusion, some alternative scenarios are suggested. 相似文献

Summary In 1985 China began the reform of its Science & Technology (S&T) sector inherited from the planned economy. To disclose the
impact of the drawn-out reform on the efficiency of the whole sector, we measure the scientific productivity of China's S&T
institutes. The analysis is based on R&D input and output data at the country aggregate and provincial level. We utilize Polynomial
Distributed Lag model to uncover the structure of the lag between R&D input and output. The findings reveal that the growth
rate of scientific productivity of China's S&T institutes has been negative since the 1990s. 相似文献

The bibliometrics research on nanotechnology highlights close interrelationships between scientific and technological activities (S&T) in the field of nanotechnology. Notwithstanding abundant empirical evidence on the mutual relations between S&T, the dynamics of the relationship from a contextual perspective have gained relatively little attention. Accordingly, our understanding of how science- and technology-oriented nanotechnology identifies development opportunities from each other is still at a nascent stage. To address this gap, by focusing on nanotechnology in the semiconductor industry, we use structural topic model to empirically explore the dynamic interrelationships between science- and technology-oriented nanotechnology. We empirically delineate the dynamic development trends in the context of the interrelationships between S&T and demonstrate how development opportunities are identified from each other. These findings show a new window of opportunities for how state-of-the-art models for semantic analysis can be used in the literature on S&T interrelationships. 相似文献

The Parliament, the highest legislative body in India, plays a significant role in formulating national policies. It is, therefore, pertinent to find the concern the Members of Parliament and different political parties show and the priorities they accord to the S&T related issues. They can judge it statistically through the number of questions raised/asked on the floor of the House. The study presents such an analysis taking the example from the S&T questions raised in the year 1992 during the Tenth Parliament. The analysis has been done by dividing the S&T related issues into 14 socio-economic areas, such as environmental sciences, biotechnology, energy, food and agriculture, health, natural resources, telecommunications, human resource development, etc. and eight policy areas such as technology policy, international collaborations in S&T, etc. The raising of S&T questions jointly by MPs and different political parties through inter-party and intra-party sponsorships has also been studied. Such an analysis may provide an important basis to the managers and policy makers in formulating the S&T policy of a country. 相似文献

Triple helix (TH) collaborations involving university, industry and government provide a networked infrastructure for shaping
the dynamic fluxes of knowledge base of innovations locally and these fluxes remain emergent within the domains. This study
maps these emergence dynamics of the knowledge base of innovations of Research & Development (R&D) by exploring the longitudinal
trend of systemness within the networked research relations in Bangladesh on the TH model. The bibliometric data of publications
collected from the Science Citation Index (SCI), the social sciences and the arts and humanities for analysis of science indicators
and the patent data collected from the US Patent Office to analyze the patent success ratio as a measure of innovation within
TH domains. The findings show that the network dynamics have varied considerably according to the R&D policies of the government.
The collaboration patterns of co-authorship relations in the SCI publications prominently increased, with some variation,
from 1996 to 2006. Nevertheless, inter-institutional collaboration negatively influenced by the national science and technology
(S&T) research policies in the last 5 years due to their evaluation criteria. Finally, the findings reveal that the R&D system
of Bangladesh is still undergoing a process of institutionalizing S&T and has failed to boost its research capacity for building
the knowledge base of innovations by neglecting the network effects of TH dynamics. 相似文献

This paper borrows Strogatz’s dynamic model for love affair between Romeo and Juliet and extends this model to nonlinear simultaneous differential equations model in order that we can characterize the dynamic interaction mechanisms and styles between science and technology (S&T). Then we further apply the proposed new model to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) for the purpose of analyzing the reciprocal dependence between S&T. The empirical results provide an understanding of the relationship between S&T and their dynamic potential of interdependence in the selected 20 leading universities in the field of N&N. We find that at present nanotechnology depends mainly on the scientific-push rather than the technology-pull and nanotechnology is science-based field. In contrast, a parallel development of the technology is not visible. Policy implications are at last put forward based on the several interesting findings for the interaction mechanisms between S&T in the field. 相似文献

Four-flux radiative transfer models have been extensively used to describe reflectance and transmittance (R&T) spectra of light scattering and absorbing (S&A) media. Solutions to the differential equations corresponding to the collimated fluxes are obtained by subsequent application of boundary conditions. Explicit expressions for the collimated R&T of light are reported, when considering a light S&A medium contained between two glass slides, an experimental arrangement which is appropriate for liquid suspensions and viscous matrices containing solid particles. A spectral simulated annealing method is applied to retrieve, from measured R&T spectra of collimated light under normal incident radiation, the scattering and absorption coefficients of the composite medium. First, the accuracy of the method is established by applying it to synthetic collimated R&T data. Secondly, we apply the method to experimental data and use it to determine the S&A coefficients of a layer of TiO2 particles dispersed in a PVP/water matrix. 相似文献

Scientific and other non-patent references (NPRs) in patents are important tools to analyze interactions between science and technology. This paper organizes a database with 514,894 USPTO patents granted globally in 1974, 1982, 1990, 1998 and 2006. There are 165,762 patents with at least one reference to science and engineering (S&E) literature, from a total of 1,375,503 references. Through a lexical analysis, 71.1% of this S&E literature is classified by S&E fields. These data serve as the basis for the elaboration of global and national 3-dimensional matrices (technological domains, S&E fields and number of references). Three indicators are proposed to analyze these matrices, allowing us to identify patterns of structured growth that differentiate developed and non-developed countries. This differentiation informs suggestions for public policies for development, emphasizing the need for an articulation between the industrial and technological dimension and scientific side. The intertwinement of these two dimensions is a key component of developmental policies for the twenty-first century. 相似文献

Summary Recognizing the critical role played by science and technology in the development of fuel cells, this article aims to characterize the evolution of the S&T knowledge bases of fuel cells over the nineties, using data on patents and scientific publications. The field of fuel cells is particularly heterogeneous. It covers diverse sub-fields that are marked by idiosyncratic characteristics (e.g. actors, demand, and input) and different historical developments. Although this heterogeneity of the field of fuel cells is reflected in the dynamics of S&T knowledge generation within and across its sub-fields too, this article shows that it does not entail the absence of cognitive interrelations between their S&T knowledge bases. For that purpose, the article uses “simultaneous mapping' approach of their S&T knowledge bases by means of textual analysis. 相似文献

The economic and social transformation of countries of central and eastern Europe has deeply affected their S&T systems. However,
conceptual and methodological problems in monitoring transformation of their S&T systems are not trivial. In this paper we
analyse conceptual and methodological issues involved in measuring S&T activities in the socialist and post-socialist period
across the most important S&T indicators (R&D, US and national patents; innovation surveys; bibliometrics). Our conclusions
are that: i) the process of methodological harmonisation of S&T indicators has progressed considerably and we have provided
some evidence in that respect; ii) the use of similar or identical indicators (business R&D, innovation counts, patents, citations)
when making inter-country or inter-temporal comparisons should be approached with caution because of the significant differences
between the socialist and post-socialist periods as well as between post-socialist R&D systems and R&D in other market economies.
This latter applies especially to the interpretation of business R&D data in the post-socialist period.
A first version of this paper was presented at the Conference on the implementation of OECD methodologies for R&D/S&T statistics
in central and eastern European countries' which was held in Budapest from 6.–8. November 1996. Research which formed the
basis for this paper was funded in case of one of the authors by the EC TSER programme. Correspondence should be addressed

We present some features that characterise the mobility and interaction of researchers within a given S&T environment. The variable of interest is the number of research proposals submitted for funding. The model is applied to the case of Colombia and the following results are exhibited: a) a "flux matrix" that characterises the "interactions" as a function of time between researchers and COLCIENCIAS (national S&T funding agency). Some properties of the matrix are established and a "probability" for a researcher who has previously submitted a proposal to re-enter is calculated as a function of time. It is found that this probability is approximately time-independent, at least for the next 7 years after first researcher's appearance; b) patterns of interaction between researchers/institutions and COLCIENCIAS, seen through the number of presented proposals. The interaction assumes the well-known form encountered in these kinds of distributions: a small set of actors (researchers/institutions) is responsible for most of the interaction; c) a temporal pattern for mean researcher's age is established and it is found that by the end of the observed period researchers start to interact in ages that are significantly greater than those observed at the beginning. 相似文献

The development of science and technology in China: A comparison with India and the United States 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In “The Outline of the Medium and Long-term National Plan for Science and Technology Development (2006–2020)” (OMLP)), the Chinese government outlined an ambitious goal to become an innovation-driven country by 2020. However, there are many barriers that restrain the development of the national innovation capacity of enterprises. This paper reviews the capacity for science and technology (S&T) and innovation in China, including the factors that influence capacity building, the supporting policies for implementing the OMLP, and the promotion of capacity building for S&T and innovation in China. The paper concludes with recommendations for promoting further development of S&T and innovation in China. 相似文献

Summary Composite science and technology (S&T) indices are essential to overall understanding and evaluation of national S&T status, and to formulation of S&T policy. However, only a few studies on making these indices have been conducted so far since a number of complications and uncertainties are involved in the work. Therefore, this study proposes a new approach to employ fuzzy set theory and to make composite S&T indices, and applies it. The approach appears to successfully integrate various S&T indicators into three indices: R&D input, R&D output, and economic output. We also compare Koreas S&T indices with those of five developed countries (France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) to obtain some implications of the results for Koreas S&T. 相似文献
