TITLE: REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF IMPACT FACTORS ON THE GRADUATION OF
PRE-ACADEMIC STUDIES IN ROMANIA (Article, English)
AUTHOR: Pintilescu, C; Baciu, L
SOURCE: TRANSFORMATIONS IN BUSINESS & ECONOMICS 10 (2B SP ISS).
2011. p.701-714 VILNIUS UNIV, KAUNAS
KEYWORDS: development regions; education; completion rate of pre-
academic studies; Romania
KEYWORDS+: EDUCATION; RETURNS; MATTER
ABSTRACT: This paper aims at analyzing the economic factors that
influence the graduation rate of pre-academic education in Romania, the analysis being conducted at regional level. The first part of the study highlighted the economic and social disparities at the level of Romania's regions, taking into account the most important macroeconomic indicators registered in 2008 and aiming at identifying significant differences in their development level.
The second part of the study focused on the analysis of the main indicators from the education area at regional level in order to distinguish the correlation between the specific economic situation of Romanian regions and the most important outcome of education, the graduation rate.
In the third part, the modelling of the correlation between the input and output of the educational process was presented, using as a dependent variable the graduation rate in secondary education.
The most important results obtained by means of the econometric modelling
were: the existence of significant differences between secondary level graduation rate and level of regional development and the fact that graduation rate might significantly increase in the poorest region if an increase in public financing or in the net nominal wages of the households occurred.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to study the technology
main paths by adding missing citations through the use of bibliographic coupling (BC) and co-citation (CC). Core patents are identified and used for patent citation network (PCN) analysis. In the citation network, patents with strong links are analyzed to construct the technology main paths. Previous researches have shown that both bibliographic coupling and co-citation may help in finding missing citation patents, so this study will utilize bibliographic coupling and co-citation to add missing citations into the original citation network and construct the technology main paths in the field of photovoltaic by connecting the strong links.
The time duration of main paths from the original photovoltaic patent network has been relatively short. Furthermore, the number of patents has not exceeded three. A possible reason to explain the short time duration may be the nature of patents that is focused on technological innovation.
On the contrary, the photovoltaic network after adding the missing citations has contained more links and presented a more complete trail for the main paths. Moreover, the network has sustained for longer in time duration. The results indicate that utilizing BC and CC methods to supply missing citations is an effective way in constructing the technology main paths.

TITLE: Forecasting of Advanced Electronic Packaging Technologies
Using Bibliometric Analysis and Fisher-Pry Diffusion Model (Article,
English)
AUTHOR: Sheikh, N; Gomez, FA; Cho, YH; Siddappa, J

p.NIL_418-NIL_437 IEEE, NEW YORK
ABSTRACT: Forecasting advanced or emerging technologies by
determining their technology diffusion rates is a science and an art because of lack of experiential data. One method to assist in forecasting is data mining and analysis of bibliometric data from a variety of sources such as patents, journal citations, and science awards. This information can then be used in well-known technology diffusion models such as Fisher-Pry where emerging technologies substitute older ones.
This paper uses global bibliometric analysis to forecast the growth of advanced or next-generation electronic packaging technologies relying on analogous technology growths.

KEYWORDS+: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS; KNOWLEDGE; TRENDS; INNOVATIVENESS
ABSTRACT: This paper aims on research entrepreneurship output
performance from 1992 to 2009. Data are based on the online version of ISI Web of Science from 1992 to 2009 focusing on SSCI publishing paper that topic is to respect on entrepreneurship. This study synthetically uses the bibliometric method, study entrepreneurship institute and country analysis, source title, author keyword, and keyword plus analysis, to map global research entrepreneurship during the period of 1992-2009. The data shows research entrepreneurship performance top fifty countries ranking is USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Australia, France, Italy, Finland, Israel, Singapore, Denmark and Switzerland. The top ten publication institutes is Univ Nottingham, UK; Indiana Univ, USA; Max Planck Inst Econ, Germany; Univ Minnesota, USA; Babson Coll, USA; Harvard Univ, USA; Rensselaer Polytech Inst, USA; Univ Illinois, USA; Erasmus Univ, Netherlands and Case Western Reserve Univ, USA. The result finding four issues of innovation, entrepreneurship capital, corporate culture, and economic growth are the most popular issues in the research entrepreneurship field in the future. This investigation will help researchers realize the panorama of global research entrepreneurship trend, and establish further research direction.

TITLE: Bibliometric Discovery of Innovation and
Commercialization Pathways in Nanotechnology (Article, English)

ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology is widely seen as the source of the next
industrial revolution. As a result, national governments have made short- term stimulus investments in nanoscience in the hopes of achieving long- lasting economic and societal benefits. Despite the stimulus funding, the scale and timing of new nanotechnology innovations are far from clear.
Part of the problem stems from the fact that nanoscience is often far upstream of potential societal application. But the issue is more complex given the evidently complex coupling of science, technology and commercialization. Nanotechnology itself is often presented as an exemplar of a new class of strategic research initiatives. In this paper we characterize nanotechnology commercialization in a well-recognized database of nanotechnology research. Contributions are made to the ongoing effort to define, and refine, the relevant knowledge base for nano-science and technology. The effort further requires novel techniques for isolating commercially-relevant research in large databases of science.

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces a methodology approach to forecast
the growth of publications on environmental and financial performance of firms. It explores the Engineering and Technology Management, and Business Management literature on Green Innovations, Green Investments and Green Venture Capital by using Bibliometric analysis and presents the trends in the scholarly and professional publications in these areas from 1990 to 2009. The 1990 to 2009 period, with more than 5 million publications, is analyzed by using the Fisher-Pry model. Projections are made for publication trends on the basis of the model forecasts. The analysis indicates sustainability-related publications in the three areas studied are in the emerging and rapid development stages of development.

ABSTRACT: It is widely recognized that the concept of service
innovation is significant for innovation strategy and economic growth.
However, since the term "service innovation" represents a broad sense, there does not exist common understanding about what is service innovation even among experts. We developed a methodology to determine the structure and geographical distribution of knowledge, as well as to reveal the structure of research collaboration in such an interdisciplinary area as service innovation by performing journal information analysis, network analysis and visualization. Our results show that there are mainly two groups of elements relating to service innovation. Knowledge in these areas has been growing rapidly in recent years. In particular, the fields of ecosystem and IT and Web are exhibiting a high growth. We also demonstrated that the global network of knowledge is formed around the powerful hub of the US. The research competency of Asian countries lags behind that of the US and EU. With respect to research collaboration, we indentify a big room left for enhancing international collaborations. Our methodology could be useful in forming policies to promote service innovation. Finally, we proposed creation of an international collaboration fund.
