036-Tijssen R&D Excellence New performance indicators for international comparison
1. R&D Excellence
new performance indicators for international comparisons
What we did … to generate high-quality statistical data
R&D: research publications and patents
Excellence: top segment of a statistical distribution (based on internationally comparative performance scores)
Measurement: frequency counts of literature references (‘citations’) between patents and research publications
Excellent citing patents: top 10 most highly cited by other patents (PATSTAT database; patent families; 2004-2013)
Excellent’cited publications: peer-reviewed research articles (Web of Science Core Collection database; STEM; 2000-2013)
What we recommend …
