Assessment of Flemish R & D in the field of information technology: a bibliometric evaluation based on publication and patent data, combined with OECD research input statistics
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of a geographic region's performance in a research field revealed that Flanders is relatively profitable in information technology with respect to publication activity. However, Flemish IT activity is not enterprising on the patenting side. With respect to publication, Flemish IT research is concentrated on processing technology. Image processing on the other hand is the focus of its patenting activities. The study considered publication, patent data, and OECD input statistics.

Quality and efficiency of basic research in molecular biology: a bibliometric analysis of thirteen excellent research institutes
Article Abstract:
The constraints inherent in bibliometric methods for evaluating research activities were examined for the case of 13 institutes with an active role in molecular biology research. Specifically, the number of citations received by 7,102 publications in which the institutes release their results were counted for the years 1980-84. The number of citations per paper was used to measure quality while costs per citation was used to measure efficiency of research.
