摘要:Many researchers jointly participate in various research topics of national R&D programs, and they achieve accomplishments such as journal papers and patents as the outcome of these programs. The government administration and research administering institutes also do their part in the advancement of national science and technology by strategically distributing R&D programs to researchers, reviewing research outcomes, and setting up investment policies accordingly. Policymakers including government administrations that distribute and manage R&D finance are interested in understanding that the key players are in a given field, how the research clusters are formed, and how the research funding is distributed. Researchers are interested to look at what other researchers are doing and who their potential collaborators are This study proposes a method to provide information wanted by both policymakers and researchers. Based on the proposed method, it builds a knowledge map using the NTIS data to analyze research behavior and statistics of various research topics.
