A currently domestic governmental R&D business is early to 100. And this is each managed individually in 15 professional organizations of research and management by characteristics of a business. For this Reason, A redundant investment issue regarding national R&D occurs, and an issue regarding efficiency of R&D investment by insufficiency of systematic R&D research project and result management is continuously raised. Ministry of Education Science and Technology establishing National Science & Technology Information Service(NTIS) in order to solve these issues. NTIS is the national R&D Portal System which can support efficiency of research and development to result utilization in planning of national research and development. As data of the same meaning are named particularly in each organizations, and that made to different data types, It is an issue to be difficult to achieve high level qualify, accuracy of integrated data in case of integration of distributed data like NTIS In this paper We consider integrated DB constructions and Information Linking of R&D Participants/Projects/Results information in a NTIS system for data qualify Improvement, and then We analyze the cause of the data quality problem, and we propose the improvement plan for data quality elevation of NTIS system.

In the era of super-aged societies, research and development (R&D) projects related to aging are very important agenda for establishing the direction of future R&D planning and technological competitiveness in the country. In order to respond promptly to this agenda, it is essential to establish a national-level convergence R&D policy. In this study, we utilized the global R&D funding project data from major nations (US, Europe, Japan), and then standardized them with the same fields. To analyze the current status of global R&D related to aging, we performed cluster analysis based on the co-occurrence matrix to explore convergence R&D areas in the US, Europe, and Japan related to aging. In addition, comparative analysis by country suggested that different points on the interdisciplinary area and the convergence of aging-related R&D by each country. These results provide fundamental understandings for the status of convergence in aging-related global R&D, the current technology trends, and establish the direction and strategy of R&D policy.

The literature in research policy extensively addresses the interaction between public R&D and the society. Scholars have paid particular attention to the way science and technology are diffused into the society and industry with the aim of substantiating their potential value. In practice, having recognized the importance of the said interaction, R&D entities and governmental organizations promote scientific and technological innovations that result from their R&D activities. Yet, the nature of news media exposure as their primary channel to promote R&D outcomes has been remarkably understudied. Using the results of R&D projects supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), this study examines R&D entities' strategic use of the news media to publicize their outcomes. The empirical results suggest that the scale of an R&D project positively affects the counts of media exposure of its R&D outcomes, whereas the level of technology readiness and the technology life-cycle do not have significant influence. In addition, the results suggest that, compared to senior researchers, young researchers are more likely to publicize their R&D outcomes and that R&D outcomes from highly ranked universities are more likely to be publicized than those from lower-ranking universities despite our control for R&D outcomes. The aforementioned results suggest that in promoting the diffusion of science and technology, especially to the public, policymakers should be concerned about incentives for those who provide techno-scientific information, such as researchers. The social need for the diffusion of techno-scientific information into the public (e.g., technology transfer and diffusion) is an insignificant factor in determining the media exposure of such information, whereas personal benefits and sensitive issues related to a researcher's own R&D activities (e.g., justification for R&D activities) drive researchers to publicize their R&D outcomes. This paper suggests that policymakers, especially those concerned with better diffusion of scientific and technological innovations need to design a proper incentive system to maximize the societal benefits of media exposure.

This paper aim; to develop the National R&D Information Navigation System(NRnDINS) that is convenient and easy to use by the researchers on the basis of information filtering and visualization by converging and integrating the three types of the contents, namely, paper, report and project at the stage of development of the information system An information system is developed by establishing ontology and RDF on the three types of contents, and by applying information filtering and semantic search technology after having created the prototype for the screen by reflecting the user needs analysis and information visualization elements surveyed at the previous stage of information service planning. In this paper, to make the measure for information filtering, R&D navigation index is prosed and implemented, and NRnDINS capable of integrated search of the R&D contents through information visualization is developed. Also, for the testing of the developed system, the preference survey for its design by 1m persons and usability test of the system by 10 users are performed The result of the survey on the preference for the design is affirmative with 85% of the subjects finding it favorable and the composite receptivity is good with the score of 87.2 the results of the usability test. However, it was also found that further development of the personalization functions is needed. It is hoped that the R&D navigation index of the proposed and implemented in this paper would present quantitative objectivity and will induce further development of other information filtering index of contents in the future.

To investigate the national science and technology policy direction in the field of construction machinery, an analysis was conducted on projects selected as national research and development (R&D) initiatives by the government. Assuming that the project titles contain key keywords, text mining was employed to substantiate this assumption. Project information data spanning nine years from 2014 to 2022 was collected through the National Science & Technology Information Service (NTIS). To observe changes over time, the years were divided into three-year sections. To analyze research trends efficiently, keywords were categorized into groups: 'equipment,' 'smart,' and 'eco-friendly.' Based on the collected data, keyword frequency analysis, N-gram analysis, and topic modeling were performed. The research findings indicate that domestic government R&D in the construction machinery field primarily focuses on smart-related research and development. Specifically, investments in monitoring systems and autonomous operation technologies are increasing. This study holds significance in analyzing objective research trends through the utilization of big data analysis techniques and is expected to contribute to future research and development planning, strategic formulation, and project management.

This study examines the relationship between R&D investment and subsequent outputs of the research activity. Usually, there is some time difference between the production of research outputs, such as academic papers and application or registration of patents, and the investment of R&D expenditure. The time lag for producing this kind of research outputs should be considered to evaluate the performance of research activity exactly. The purpose of this study is to identify time lag effect between the times of input and output of a R&D activity and to derive the degree of time lag using the data set of a long term R&D program supported by Korean government. A modified Almon model is suggested to identify the time lag effect between input and output of research activities performed by this program. Time-series cross-section data from 16 research centers between 2001 and 2009 are used to find time lag effect.

The objectives of not-for-profit organizations including government supported research institutes are, by definition, to achieve socially desired nonfinancial goals. Current reporting focuses on providing information to meet the needs of users. This information may be provided in the annual research report, financial report, and other reports. An objective of current reporting is to provide users with information that will assist them in evaluating the performance(efficiency and effectiveness) of reporting entity. The evaluation of R&D project's performance requires information not only about the acquition and use of resources, but also about the outputs and outcomes of R&D activities, This study aims to recommend that R&D Service Efforts and Accomplish- mints(SEA) reporting is useful for performance evaluation in national R&D programmes. To achieve this aims, I attempt to develop the R&D SEA measures with reference to the Concepts Statement No. 2 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. R&D SEA measures consist of five categories : (1) input measures, (2) outcome measures, (3) output measures, (4) re1a1e efforts to accomplishments, (5) explanatory information.

Scientific and technological performances (e.g., patents and publications) made through R&D play a pivotal role for national economic growth. National governments encourage academia-industry cooperation and thereby pursue continuous development of science technology and innovation. Increasing R&D-related investments and manpower are crucial for national industrial development, but evidence of poor performance in business performance, efficiency, and effectiveness has recently been found in Korea. This study evaluates performance efficiency of the 6T sector (Information Technology, Bio Technology, Nano Technology, Space Technology, Environment Technology, Culture Technology), which is considered a high-potential promising industry for the next generation growth and currently occupies two thirds of the national R&D projects. The study measures the relative efficiency of R&D in a comparative perspective by employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The result reveals overall low efficiency in basic R&D (0.2112), applied R&D (0.2083), development R&D (0.2638), and others (0.0641), confirming that economic performance and efficiency were relatively poor compared to production efficiency. Efficient R&D needs policy makers to create strategies that can increase overall efficiency by improving productivity performance and quality while increasing economic performance.

R&D businesses lead by a government of each countries are recognized as important businesses that may affect the destinies of the nation. However, the process of developing a new business has not been so favorable as the process was primarily managed by engineers who concentrate on research development. The problem was solved by applying a business model regarding outcomes of a developed research. Yet it is difficult to apply the business model methods that are commonly used for enterprises to government's research businesses due to their unique research development characteristics. Therefore, it is developed a business model methodology for national R&D project in this study. In addition, the methodology applies to a sub-project of Korean Land Spatialization Program(KLSP) organized by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs to verify the possibility of practical application.
