Abstract
This study seeks to analyze trends in Korean government support for marine biotechnology R&D investment. The quantitative analysis proposed in this paper provides useful data to inform government policy making decisions in relation to R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Data used in this study is from NTIS (National Science & Technology Information Service) DB. Empirical results indicate that national R&D investment in the area of marine biotechnology has recently been increased in terms of the number of R&D programs and the amount of R&D investment. The results also show that the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology involve various Ministries of the government of Korea, although the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) performed a key role in the R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Finally, the results of social network analysis in this study reveals that most of the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology seeks the development of new materials using unique features of marine bioresources.
