Abstract:
Articulating a compelling economic rationale to justify investments in
research-by definition furthest removed from direct, immediate economic
benefit-is perhaps one of chief challenges of R&D managers, policy makers
and science analysts in the years ahead. Although several innovation studies
and surveys have provided some convincing empirical evidence of impacts and
benefits of research to technical progress, there is still an urgent need
for comprehensive models, reliable data and analytical tools to describe and
monitor links between R&D and industrial innovation in more detail.
As for the role of scientific and engineering research in the innovation
process, this paper reports on the findings of a novel methodology to
increase our understanding of the contribution of research efforts to
successful technical inventions. The approach is based on a nation-wide mail
survey amongst inventors working in the corporate sector and the public
research sector in The Netherlands. The inventors' inside information
regarding their patented inventions-and related technological innovations on
the market-provided a range of quantitative data on the importance of the
underpinning research activities. Statistical models attempting to explain
the degree of "science dependence" of the inventions identify a range of
relevant variables, covering the inventor's own capabilities and previous
R&D achievements, external information sources, as well as the inventor's
R&D environment in general. Some 20% of the private sector innovations
turned out to be (partially) based on public sector research. Furthermore,
citations in patents referring to basic research literature were found to be
invalid indictors of a technology's science dependence. (C) 2002 Elsevier

Abstract:
We present the results of a study to assess crucial aspects and the strength
of the scientific basis of atypically interdisciplinary, applied field:
Nutrition and Food Research. Our approach is based on an advanced
bibliometric analysis with novel elements to assess the influence and
dissemination of research results and to measure interdisciplinarity. In
order to adjust the contrast with 'single-disciplinary' research assessment,
we represent application-oriented research by an interdisciplinary research
profile that with a clear distinction between basic and applied research.
Application of our approach to support an international audit of the
Nutrition and Food Research Institute showed that advanced bibliometric
analysis allows assessment beyond conventional academic standards. An
important policy-relevant implication, strongly supported by the audit
committee, is that realignment of an applied research institute toward a
stronger market-orientation should not be at the expense of basic research.
Not only is basic research the cradle of future applications, it acts also
directly as an institutional visiting card for customers to show scientific
thoroughness.
A novel element is a disciplinary breakdown of knowledge dissemination by a
research institute based on a field-specific analysis of all publications
citing the work of the institute. It reveals the mutual boosting of applied
and basic research. Particularly, the analysis of publications citing
applied work can be regarded as a novel indicator for potential users of
knowledge and with that, new markets. In this context, it is important to
compare actors (e.g. countries, institutes) involved in citing publications
with those involved in the institute's international co-operation. (C) 2002
