“…There are a number of popular and high-quality websites around the world that provide databases and analysis tools for life sciences projects. Among them are the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the USA, the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Europe, the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), the Korean Bioinformation Center (KOBIC) of the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, and the BRIC (Ahn and Lee, 2009). The BRIC stands out as the one of best research information centers that provides a community function in addition to the typical data processing and research information sharing activities.…”

“…The stem cell research conducted by Professor Hwang Woo-suk became a worldwide scandal after it was triggered by discussions in the BRIC online community forum (Chong and Normile, 2006). In addition, the BRIC is characterized by researchers constructing their own contents (Ahn and Lee, 2009). The portion of the databases constructed by the users amounted to 81 percent of all research information databases provided by the BRIC as of 2013 (Biological Research Information Center, 2013).…”

South Korea is a world leader in human capital and research investment. However, compared to other countries with similar levels of resource input, Korea has relatively weaker output performance. This is a concern for the Korean government and the funding agencies that invest heavily in R&D activities. Since knowledge sharing among members influences the output performance within an R&D sector, this paper investigates the factors that affect the knowledge sharing intention and behavior among members of a national R&D center in Korea. A total of 286 members in the Biology Research Information Center participated in a survey. The results show that intrinsic and extrinsic motivations significantly influence the members’ intention to share knowledge. Cognitive and relational capital also exert significant effects on the members’ knowledge sharing intention. Structural capital, however, does not have any significant effect on intention. The members’ intention to share knowledge links significantly to their actual knowledge sharing behavior.
