özellikleri+++++
Developments in abstract & citation databases, a new focus for competition in
research by means of data group analysis

OTHER FORCES THAT SHAPE LEAN RESEARCH
Trend Exacerbated by Economic Downturn

GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON RESEARCH
Research Program Sponsor Description
Governments are actively guiding their national research agenda
Assess the quality of research in universities and colleges in the UK
Enable funding bodies to determine how to allocate grants across research projects
Detail by institution and by discipline those areas that are internationally competitive, together with emerging areas where there are opportunities for development
Identify thematic domains for future European support
Part of EU’s strategy to become “the most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world”
GLOBAL RESEARCH LANDSCAPE CHANGINGCountries ranked by output growth 1997-2007

RESEARCH RESPONDS TO GLOBALIZATION
Research now...
Crosses national boundaries Exhibits high mobility of resources, people,
ideas, technologies and infrastructure Overarches multi-jurisdictional regulation Responds and reacts to public and private
pressures Networks energetically in real and virtual
space/time Straddles between competition and
collaboration

hours per week searching and gathering information
Researchers spend more time looking for information than analyzing and applying it
hours per week organizing, analyzing and applying information
RESEARCH MORE EXCITING BUT ALSO MORE CHALLENGING

Competition for funding is intense and will continue to intensify

LEAN RESEARCH = GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT PERFORMANCE

RESEARCH EXECUTIVES: KEY CHALLENGES
Need constant flow of information and intelligence about internal performance, benchmarks and comparative performance
Require matrix of tools linking:- Reputation and Ranking- Growth and Development
with - Research Performance - Research Strategy
Implications “Have my strategic decisions
been effective?” “Are we capitalizing on new hot
areas e.g. stem-cells?” “Where should my strategic
focus be?” “Who are my true competitors
per competency?” “How is my competency
portfolio performing?”
Questions

NEW MEASURE FOR A NEW REALITY
New bottoms-up approach needed for identifying scientific leadership
EXISTING APPROACH TO PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
ISSUES
Journal-based classification
Assign journals to categories
Science categorized into small number of fields and subfields (i.e. highly aggregated classification system)
Example: National Science Foundation groups science into 13 fields and 127 subfields
Number and scope of journals too limitingRisk: too few journals included in analysis and potential for English-speaking bias in journal selection
Level of aggregation too high-levelRisk: limited view of performance data on the level where it counts – that of school or large focused laboratory
Inter-disciplinary boundaries changingRisk: Not understanding how different disciplines interact with one another on the institutional level
Risk: Not seeing new emerging research areas

IDENTIFYING NATIONAL STRENGTHS

SUMMARY
Efficiency and effectiveness can only be realized by taking a deeper look at the research activity workflows and identifying improvement opportunities
Progressive institutions will demonstrate lean research by adopting new performance intelligence tools to identify research strengths to focus on
These institutions will be better positioned to improve their standing among their peers
Lean research presents an opportunity for each of us to play an enhanced role in the research process
Librarians can dramatically transform their role in line with this new reality and support institutions in becoming lean research organizations
Economic downturn has intensified focus on research effectiveness and efficiency, bringing a new reality for us all…
