This study started from the awareness of the issue if the citation index newly introduced to evaluate the quality of papers satisfies the proper timing matter, which is a component of performance indicators for the evaluation of government-funded R&D institutes. Accordingly, the study will propose improvement ways to shift the previous evaluation system to quality evaluation for mission-oriented R&D institutes by analysing and using the periodical characteristics such as citation half-life and immediacy index of papers. As a result, it turned out that the speed of academic change is getting faster in proportion to the dependency on the technological development but that the citation speed in the field of public technology is relatively slower and the speed of knowledge transfer in the fields related to industry is faster. In addition, the citation index among the R&D fields showed no differences, and the minimum period for citation index measurement with validity should be over 6 years. The problems of evaluation for mission-oriented R&D institutes were deducted based on the technical and statistical analysis results of the temporal characteristic of citation necessary for quality evaluation of performance among R&D fields. To solve the problems, policy alternatives for object and valid quality evaluation were proposed from the points of evaluation period, evaluation criteria, and evaluation management.

This study explores the application of the analytic network process (ANP) approach for the evaluation of R&D projects with heterogeneous objectives. The ANP model in this study produced the final priorities of projects with respect to several performance measures when there are interdependencies between research objectives and performance measures. The paper provides value to practitioners by providing a generic model for R&D project evaluation. The ANP approach is tested against empirical data drawn from fourteen R&D projects under six different objective programs sponsored by the Korean government.

Confronted with increasing global competition and rising research and development risks, the global open innovation has receiving increased attention. This study empirically investigates whether or not international cooperative R&D is effective by evaluating the quality indicators with the patents with international co-applications. The number of patents with international co-applications has dramatically increased in recent years. According to the results, the outcome from international cooperative R&D is prominent in term of all the evaluation criteria such as the number of citation, patent families, claims, and et cetera, compared with that from domestic cooperative R&D. Based on the patent quality, the information technology sector holds the top spot and high-tech sectors such as bio and automobile industries show the better quality performances. By identifying high betweeneess centrality in the network analysis of international cooperative R&D, the US is indicated as the most central country in such cooperative activity, and then Germany, the UK, Canada, and France come after.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum amount of dried Alaska Pollock Therage chalcogramma roe (D-AP-R) for preparing garlic gochujang with D-AP-R. We investigated the optimal preparation of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R by proximate composition, taste, color, and odor measurements and sensory evaluation. The moisture, ash contents and water activity of garlic gochujang with D-AP-R decreased as the amount of D-AP-R increased, whereas other components, such as crude protein and lipid contents, taste value, yellowness of Hunter color, and odor intensity, increased as D-AP-R increased. According to the sensory evaluation results, garlic gochujangs with 10 and 15% D-AP-R were superior to garlic gochujang without D-AP-R (control) in terms of taste and overall acceptance but inferior in terms of fish odor. However, there was no difference in the sensual color of garlic gochujang with versus without D-AP-R. These results suggest that high quality garlic gochujang can be prepared by adding 10% D-AP-R. The total amino acid content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 11.81 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of the control (9.05 mg/100 g). The cholesterol content of garlic gochujang with 10% D-AP-R was 16.1 mg/100 g, which is below the acceptable daily cholesterol intake (300 mg/day).

This study is intended to develop evaluation indicators for the improvement and operation of R&D project management process. To achieve this, an empirical survey was carried out to small companies specializing in technology-centered R&D. First, 12 evaluation indicators showed that there was a deviation of more than 2 times from the highest score of 60.77 to the lowest score of 30 in integrated management, which the R&D project management process needs to be selectively used for the improvement and operation. Second, the difference in industry showed that the biotech industry was the highest, while the chemical, electrical and electronic industries were the lowest. Third, the difference in the number of employees showed that companies with 50~100 employees were relatively high, while small companies with more than 100 employees were somewhat low. Fourth, the difference in career showed that 5~7-year career was relatively high, while 7~10-year career was somewhat high. Overall, evaluation indicators for the improvement and operation of R&D project management processor showed that integrated management was the most important, followed by communication management, risk management, and time management. This implies that small companies specializing in technology-centered R&D need to concentrate on the importance of efficient integrated management and rapid decision-making and risk management among individual participation subjects.

In this study, an evaluation system for a water resources technology research and development project, which is one of the 21C frontier R&D programs sponsored by Korea Ministry of Science and Technology, is proposed. The purpose of this paper is to contribute in the implementation of an efficient R&D policy scheme and in the successful commercialization and diffusion of water resources technologies through proper evaluation of water resources technology R&D projects. The evaluation system is consisted of two levels of evaluation categories and attributes to reflect qualitative evaluation as well as quantitative evaluation of the water resources technology development. The weights of 4 evaluation categories and 26 attributes are calculated by using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). To demonstrate the evaluation system, a numerical example of water resources technology evaluation is presented.
