Evaluation of the utility and impact of S&T research mapping. Support action to the DG Research Directorate B "Open co-ordination of research policies", phase I

Publication metadata

This report provides a 'utility and impact evaluation' of a pilot Mapping of Research Excellence developed for DG Research-B, the Directorate with responsibility for Open Co-ordination of Research Policies. The pilot is provided in the form of a prototype database of publications and patents performance for two scientific disciplines (nanotechnology and biotechnology). The database can be accessed on-line and users can select criteria to filter searches that give rankings of research performance in tabular form and as plots on a country map. This evaluation examines the existing and potential usefulness of research mapping exercises amongst user communities. The user community here refers to actors such as research programme managers in funding agencies, officials in science ministries, industrial research directors, university administrators and researchers themselves. The project was implemented through a semi-structured telephone survey with 83 such users from 18 different countries. Interviewees were given a demonstration of results and normally had examined the mapping interface itself.
