The efficacy of different modes of funding research: perspectives from Australian data on the biological sciences
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to determine if there was a variance in the effect of research publications with regards to their mode of funding. The objective was to outline the methodology and the general results which demonstrates their implications for policy. The Research Evaluation and Policy Project database containing all Australian ISI-indexed publications since 1981 was used for a bibliometric analysis. Results show that the nature of the researcher's appointment seems to be the most significant determinant of impact instead of the mode of funding.
