Insight Into

Background: Research output provides an insight into the development of the scientific capability of a country. Budget allocation for research and development (R&D) is directly proportional to the research output of a country. While developed countries spend a significant percentage of their GDP on R&D, developing countries do not have enough resources to invest in R&D. Countries in the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) Nations has received significantly less attention from outside the region in studying R&D and research publication scenario of the region. The research output of BIMSTEC countries was analyzed using various metrics in this paper. Methods: Data on citation per paper, Field Weight Citation Impact (FWCI), paper per researcher, collaborative publications, and output in top 10 percent journals was extracted from one of the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, Scopus and its affiliate SciVal, for a period of 6 years between 2012-2017. Percentage of R&D spend, researchers per million population, and total scientific output were extracted from World Bank data. Results: India and Thailand have a higher quantum of publications compared to other countries. Subjects like clinical, technology, Computer Science have a larger publication number as compared to other subject areas like Social Science, Arts, Education, Law, and Physiology. The researcher population and research spend of a nation have an evident implication on the publication though no direct relation can be derived. Conclusion: Huge disparities in terms of percentage of research spent, research output, papers per researcher, and output with national and international authorship differ for countries. Higher research spent and publication count are not positively correlated with better FWCI.

The paper examines global research in big data, as covered in Scopus database 2007-16, on a series of bibliometric indicators. The study finds that big data registered exceedingly fast growth (135.2%), but averaged low citation impact per paper (3.75) and accounted for very low share of highly cited papers (0.86%) in 10 years. The study reports publication trends in big data research by top countries, top institutions, top authors, top journals, major subject areas, publication modes, and country-level share of international collaborative publications. The study concludes that big data is a subject of recent origin. Given its major potential to impact business, governance, society, healthcare, industry and many other sectors, big data is fast emerging as a major discipline of interest and importance to nations, corporates, and institutions across developed and fast emerging economies.

Insight Into

The goal of full employment is one of the most desired objectives of economic planning. The nature of the employment problem in developed countries is different from that in the less developed ones. For a realistic solu¬tion to these problems, it is essential to examine the employment problem in the right perspective and to study its various dimensions in detail. This volume provides an analytical insight into the various aspects of the employment problem in less-developed countries. The nature of the unemployment pro¬blem in under-developed countries, its causes and solutions are discussed with empirical evidence from different countries.

Para Determinar

La cienciometría es un área disciplinar que permite evaluar la actividad científica de un país. En su haber se pueden definir políticas científicas a nivel gubernamental para determinar nuevas líneas de investigación. El objetivo de este estudio fue visualizar el desarrollo de la actividad científica cubana en las áreas del conocimiento de Matemática-Ciencias de la Computacióny Ciencias Naturales e Ingeniería. En Cuba se invirtió aproximadamente el 2.7 % del PIB en la actividad de I+D y el 63 % del PIB en la educación superior según datos del Banco Mundial. Como resultado de este trabajo se determinó que las temáticas de Ciencias Químicas, Ingenierías y Astronomía-Astrofísica son las más destacadas en cuanto a producción, consumoe impacto científico. Estos resultados se debieron en gran medida a los lazos de colaboración internacional, principalmente con países como España y México. Este estudio nos indica que Cuba, que es uno de los países en vías de desarrollo de la región, prioriza buena parte de sus ingresos económicos al desarrollo de las ciencias naturales.Scientometrics provides tools for evaluating scientific activity of a nation, thereby aiding policy makers in setting policies aimed at determining new lines of research. The aim of this study is gain a clearer picture of Cuban scientific activity in the areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences and Engineering. Cuba invests approximately 2.7% of GDP inR&D and 63% of GDP in higher education according to the World Bank. Our study shows that subject areas of Chemistry, Engineering and Astronomy-Astrophysics are the most important in terms of scientific output, consumption and scientific impact. These results are due mostly to international cooperation, mainly with Spain and Mexico. This study indicates that Cuba, adeveloping countries of the region, prioritizes much of its GDP to the development of natural sciences.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of financial inclusion in the least developed countries in Asia and Africa. We used World Bank data to estimate the probit econometric technique in the studied countries. The results show that young people and women are groups excluded from financial inclusion and that education and income are two of the key pillars for increasing financial inclusion. Furthermore, the results reveal that a higher level of financial inclusion increases the level of official savings in countries, which in turn promotes their development. The findings of this study are beneficial for policymakers in the least developed countries to promote innovative approaches to enhance the involvement of excluded people in formal finance.

Modern science is dominated by scientific productions from teams. A recent finding shows that teams of both large and small sizes are essential in research, prompting us to analyze the extent to which a country’s scientific work is carried out by big or small teams. Here, using over 26 million publications from Web of Science, we find that China’s research output is more dominated by big teams than the rest of the world, which is particularly the case in fields of natural science. Despite the global trend that more papers are written by big teams, China’s drop in small team output is much steeper. As teams in China shift from small to large size, the team diversity that is essential for innovative work does not increase as much as that in other countries. Using the national average as the baseline, we find that the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) supports fewer small teams than the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States does, implying that big teams are preferred by grant agencies in China. Our finding provides new insights into the concern of originality and innovation in China, which indicates a need to balance small and big teams.

The paper’s main objective is to investigate the trends of basic science research in India using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. It examines the publication patterns and impact of research productivity of five basic science institutions, i.e., “Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research” (IISER), namely IISER Kolkata, IISER Pune, IISER Mohali, IISER Bhopal, and IISER Thiruvananthapuram. The research output indexed in the SCOPUS bibliographic database of these five established IISERs was obtained from 2015 to 2019. A total number of 7329 research publications were analysed using various scientometric dimensions. This paper makes a concerted effort to present a comprehensive picture of the assessment of research outcomes at the five older IISERs, which are ostensibly India’s most active and prominent basic science research institutions. The findings reveal that these institutions are accountable for important research outcomes, such as a high number of citations, preferences towards open access (OA) publications, a rise in research publication year over year, a strong author network, a high degree of collaboration, and a high impact in terms of other scientometrics indicators. This paper discusses the findings of the research publications on the position of IISERs in basic sciences research and draws some conclusions about their effects.
