Predicting Research Trends Identified by Research Histories via Breakthrough Researches

Since it is difficult to understand or predict research trends, we proposed methodologies for understanding and predicting research trends in the sciences, focusing on the structures of grants in the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), a Japanese funding agency. Grant applications are suitable for predicting research trends because these are research plans for the future, differe...

The Commission on Health Research for Development tabled its findings in 1990 following three years of intensive data gathering on global health research [1]. The report documented for the first time the major mismatch between global expenditure on health research and the nature and extent of global mortality: only 5% of the world’s health research budget was spent on conditions responsible for...

Aligning IS Research & Practice: A Research Agenda for Virtual Work

Collaborative research networks work.

Brazil was heralded for completion of the first genome sequence of a plant pathogen following the development of a virtual research center - a collaborative network of laboratories throughout the state of São Paulo, drawing on the expertise of a dispersed and diverse scientific community and on investment from both the government and the private sector. Strategies key to the success of this mod...
