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”

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

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?”

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

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…
