“…On the other hand, in the general distribution of documents, it can be seen how the combination between FA and collaboration benefits citation, as it was already detected in previous works, especially for international funds (e.g. Álvarez-Bornstein et al 2019, Morillo 2019. Moreover, in this study, it has been found that OA publication improves the citation possibilities of this interaction.…”

Open access (OA) to every research result supported by funding bodies is a medium to long-term goal. This work aims to find out whether OA publication is useful for all research fields, regardless of their specific features. As a sample, articles from the WoS databases from two disparate disciplines (one from SSCI and another from SCIE) are selected, and several hypotheses related to the presence of funding acknowledgements, cooperation and citations are tested. A first look at the general distribution of publications shows that collaborative and funded research obtains a higher proportion of cited articles, and that this proportion increases in the case of OA publications. Moreover, the logistic regression reveals that the probability of finding an OA publication is significantly increased in the SCIE discipline, and by the presence of EU funding, international collaboration and citations. This probability rises with some interactions (e.g. presence of international funding and international collaboration, or international funding and citations). Regarding OA types, Green OA publications are the most related to fund recognition, although Gold OA/Bronze OA articles in international collaboration are also significantly related to financing. Concerning impact, the most likely cited OA type is the Hybrid OA. However, if papers include funding acknowledgements, the Bronze OA and Green OA publications increase their citation likelihood. Similarly, when Gold OA articles include international collaboration, there is a greater chance of citation. With these findings, it is possible to venture that OA publishing will be useful for all research fields, although their specific features should be considered. Consequently, funders should be aware of these particularities to stimulate OA without compromising the quality of the research.

Do national funding organizations properly address the diseases with the highest burden?: Observations from China and the UK

et al. 2020

Recent years have witnessed an incipient shift in science policy from a focus mainly on academic excellence to a focus that also takes into account "societal impact". This shift raises the question as to whether medical research has given proper attention to the diseases imposing the greatest burden on society. Therefore, with the aim of identifying correlations between research funding priorities and public demand in health, we examine grants issued by the major medical research funding bodies of China and the UK during the decade 2006-2017 and compare the focus of their funded projects with the diseases that carry the highest burden of death, risk, or loss of health. The results indicate that the funding decisions of both nations do correspond to the illnesses with the highest health impact on their citizens. For both regions, the greatest health concerns surround non-communicable diseases, and neoplasms and cardiovascular disease in particular. In China, national health priorities have remained focused on these illnesses for the benefit of its own population, whereas the UK has funded a wider variety of research, extending to projects with impacts outside its borders to some developing countries. Additionally, despite an increased incidence of mental illness and HIV/AIDs in China, there is evidence that less priority has been given to these conditions. Both of these health areas seem to require more attention from China's national funding agencies and the society in general. Methodologically, this study can serve as an example of how to conduct analyses related to public health issues by combining informetric methods and data with data and tools from other fields, thereby inspiring other scientometrics studies.

“…Changes in the social environment and the development of disciplines have led to changes in the contribution of research funding to research output, and more scholars have discussed the quantification and influence factors of input-output analysis. Morillo (2019) analyzed the relationship between international funding and scholarly collaboration and the impact of outputs across four different disciplines, finding that authors of internationally funded articles showed a greater tendency to collaborate and their research outputs had a higher impact. Monrouxe, Liu, Yau, and Babovič (2020) compared the evolutionary characteristics of Science Citation Index (SCI) and non-Science Citation Index (non-SCI) articles in the field of professional health care education from 2006 to 2017.…”

With the increasing pressure on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget nowadays, it is such a major challenge to cut waste and improve efficiency in the research funding allocation. To meet this challenge, this paper explores research hotspots and disciplinary trends of the biomedical area, and discusses the relationship between these factors and the government funding, thereby uncovering biomedical hotspots of interest to academia and the evolution law of the U.S. federal government funding through an entitymetrics analysis. Considering that the rapid proliferation of biomedical literature provides large amounts of information resources for knowledge discovery, entities extracted from articles in PubMed and NIH-funded projects during 1988–2017 are taken as experimental data. They are divided into four categories: species, diseases, genes, and drugs. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of entity trajectories in the four domains is performed, which includes occurrence frequency calculations of disease entities to explore frequency variation trends in high-frequency entities and the situation of the distribution of research funds. Finally, we conduct an evolutionary analysis of two sides, respectively: the relationship between research popularity and the amount of funding; the relationship between research popularity and the number of funded projects. The results suggest that research on gene and disease entities is at the stage of rapid development. Diseases with high prevalence rate and mortality and diseases associated with genetic factors will be the emphasis of research trends in the future. The distribution of NIH grant appears obvious long tail effect and can influence overall trends in the heat of research topics.. We also find that there is a strong linear correlation between the research popularity of bio-entities, and the amount and number of funding grants, respectively. However, the impact of the amount and number of grant funds on the entity research popularity is decreasing. The above results indicate the extensive applicability of entitymetrics in funding research.
