Abstract
Establishment of efficient cooperative ecosystem of research institutes is important for the efficiency of national innovation system, especially in the era of technology convergence. Performance of institutes inside the ecosystem is dependent on the position of the institutes in the system. This study investigates the relationship between network structure and research performance, and determines significant factors on the research performance. The results of 5 year panel data analysis of SCI journal papers of Korean government research institutes indicate that four network centralities -degree, betweenness, closeness, and eigenvector- and structural holes have significant effect on the research performance of the institutes. Among the four centralities, closeness and eigenvectors are more significant than others. Implications of the results of this study for policy of establishing efficient cooperative system are that increasing the cooperative activities of less active institutes is more effective for research performance than increasing the magnitude of cooperative activities of all institutes. Also, when an institute starts a new cooperative relationship, it is better to have relationship with an active institute first.
