5 Introduction: Data on research personnel (1/2) Discipline classification Difficult to place interdisciplinary and phenomenon-based research in a traditional classification of disciplines. Material based on an alternative classification not currently available. There is a great need for this! How to detect qualitative change? Measuring change is of great science policy interest. The research profiles of universities develop but the possible change in personnel statistics shows with a great delay (if at all due to the granularity of discipline classification). 5 ACADEMY OF FINLAND STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND

6 Introduction: Data on research personnel (2/2) The comparison of input and output data by discipline The work contribution (FTEs) of teaching and research staff may be reported to a different discipline than competitive funding or publications. To some extent, the problem lies in the combination of different datasets. This also reflects multidisciplinarity and changes in science. The discipline for teaching and research staff and research expenditure is often determined by the administrative unit (e.g. a department) of the discipline. In some cases, the disciplines of the staff are determined by individual staff member. The discipline of a WoS publication is determined on the basis of the discipline of the publication channel. The smaller the unit of analysis, possibly bigger the problem. 6 ACADEMY OF FINLAND STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND

10 Introduction: Bibliometric data Publishing practices vary by discipline. - The publication numbers for different disciplines are not comparable in all respects. Statistical delay - Citations accumulate with a delay that varies greatly between disciplines. - Eg. publications in describe the current state of research. Coverage: International citation databases do not cover the publications of all disciplines in the same way. - Scientific articles in research books or edited scientific books (monographs) typically not included. - The material is not as appropriate for a detailed examination of publication activities in the social sciences or the humanities (SSH) as in many other disciplines. The bibliometric results presented here are derived from the Web of Science prepared by CLARIVATE ANALYTICS, Inc.

Population data are from 2004 and Source: Clarivate Analytics, Web-of-Science-based data, bibliometric computing CSC Ltd, 2016; OECD Stat. Main Science and Technology Indicators. 11

12 How does Finland compare to other research-intensive countries in terms of publication output? Indicator: Number of publications per capita Finland has a high number of scientific publications per capita in comparison to many OECD countries. Finland s number of publications has increased 1.5-fold in the 2000s. Many comparison countries have shown a higher increase in the 2000s. Note: The figures only include publications in the Web of Science data. 12

14 Are there differences in Finland s publication profile compared to the comparison countries? Indicator: Publication profile based on disciplinary proportions of country s publications Note: Publication numbers cannot be compared across disciplines! - International citation databases do not cover the publications of all disciplines in the same way. Scientific articles in research books or edited scientific books (monographs) are not included. The material is not as appropriate for a detailed examination of publication activities in the social sciences or the humanities (SSH) as in many other disciplines. Comparing countries within the same discipline makes more sense. Finland: ICT and electrical engineering; Ecology, environmental science, plant biology; Business studies and economics - Greater proportion than in any comparison country Finland: Clinical medicine; Biomedicine, biosciences - Smaller proportion than in any comparison country (except Norway in biomed.) 14

17 What is the scientific impact of Finnish research and how has the impact developed compared to OECD countries? Indicator: Top 10 index The level of scientific research in Finland has remained stable. Finnish research performs above the world average. Although the level of Finnish research has climbed slightly over the past ten years, many OECD countries have outperformed and outpaced Finland. Compared with the results of the 2014 review, there have been only marginal changes in the state of scientific research in Finland. 17

20 How has research collaboration, especially international collaboration, developed in Finland? Indicator: International and domestic publications The number of international co-publications has increased five-fold in The number of domestic co-publications and domestic publications by one organisation have seen a smaller increase. The proportion of international co-publications by Finnish researchers has seen a visible increase in recent years. - International co-publications accounted for more than 50% of all scientific publications produced in Finland in In the early 1990s, the corresponding figure was only 27%. 20

23 What is the scientific impact of publications representing different types of collaboration? Indicator: Top 10 index by collaboration type (international copublications vs domestic publications) International co-publications yield a higher top 10 index than domestic publications in Finland and in all comparison countries, even for the US and the UK. International co-publications have a greater scientific impact than domestic publications. The top 10 index of international co-publications has increased in all comparison countries in the 2000s. 23

24 Summary Bibliometric indicators are proxies based on which one can analyse eg. publication activity, scientific impact, and collaboration. Disciplinary differences in publishing and citation practices, and data coverage need to be taken into account. The results often pinpoint to directions worth looking at more closely with the help of other data and methods. Rarely, if ever, give clear-cut answers to why questions. Add a useful perspective to the analysis of scientific impact. Citation indicators alone do not provide a reliable picture of quality of research. - Pivotal role of peer review in research evaluation! 24 ACADEMY OF FINLAND STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND

25 Methodological notes 25 ACADEMY OF FINLAND STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND

26 Top 10 index as a citation indicator (1/2) Research with the greatest scientific impact can be analysed by examining the most highly cited publications. The top 10 index describes a country s/organisation s relative proportion of the 10% most cited publications in the world. The citation indicator is scaled so that the world average in each discipline is always one. Top 10 index > 1: The proportion of a country s publications that belong to the most highly cited 10% of publications in their field is greater than in the world on average. - World = publications covered in the citation database and included in the analysis. 26

27 Top 10 index as a citation indicator (2/2) Citations are accumulated with a delay that varies greatly between disciplines. The number of citations gained by publications is normalised. - Publications are compared to the international level within the same discipline, publication type (e.g. article, review article) and the same publication year. - Self-citations are excluded from the analysis. Publications are fractionalised according to discipline, country and organisation. - One publication can belong to more than one discipline (subject category). - Fractional counting leads to the most proper field normalisation. - E.g. a Finnish-Swedish publication results in 0.5 publication points for both countries. - If researchers from three Finnish universities have contributed to the publication, each organisation gains 1/3 x 0.5 publication points. 27

28 Collaboration types Domestic co-publication: all authors are affiliated with a Finnish organisation Domestic publication by one organisation: all authors work in the same organisation in Finland International co-publication: at least one of the authors is affiliated with a non-finnish organisation 28

32 Choices made by research organisations are put into practice in recruitment: active and open recruitment is essential Although thematic choices and research profiling are important, excessively narrow definitions of teaching and research areas should be avoided in the recruitment of professors. A professor s career can span decades, and quality and the ability for renewal are of greater value than a perfect fit with the current teaching and research needs. It is crucial that the researchers recruited are capable of developing their research and teaching throughout their career in collaboration with the local, national and international research communities. Recruitment processes need to be enhanced. New career systems, still partly under development, will allow for more flexible recruitment practices, and tenure-track career paths are internationally more attractive than the old system. The new opportunities should be actively exploited. As a rule, all professorships should be open to international application. Annual data collection on recruitment of teaching and research staff will be implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture in ACADEMY OF FINLAND STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND 2014

34 Special theme in 2016: Broader impact of research in society The review analyses the different types of impact arising from research and researchbased knowledge as well as the pathways through which impact is realized. Data and methods The impact was explored from the direction of research activities, focusing on four different research fields: ecology, evolutionary biology and ecophysiology history medical engineering and health technologies materials science and technology Together, these fields provide complementary views of the diverse ways in which academic research is linked and contributes to the rest of society. 34

35 A large survey and interview dataset was collected from the selected research fields Survey on the broader impacts of research on society (N=490) Questionnaire and summary of responses available in English at Survey on the role of doctoral degree holders in society (N=566) Questionnaire and summary of responses available in English at Upcoming by the end of 2017: Törnroos Johanna (2017): The Role of Doctoral Degree Holders in Society. Academy of Finland, Helsinki. Data from both surveys have been opened in Finnish Social Science Data Archive, FSD (#FSD3159 and #FSD3160) Group interviews with researchers and research users (10 groups, 70 participants) Statistics of placement of doctoral degree holders in Finland (Source: Statistics Finland) 35

36 Roles of science in society The broader impact of research can be analysed in terms of the different roles science has in society. Scientific research is expected to contribute to society, for example, in the following issues: Human understanding and world view: Research-based knowledge and abilities build, sustain and develop individuals and societies understanding of the surrounding world and their part in it. Wealth and prosperity: Research-based knowledge and abilities open material prospects for sustaining and increasing the wellbeing of people and societies. Basis for decision-making: Research-based knowledge and abilities underpin societal decision-making, policies and problem-solving; they can also ease individuals choices. Practice development: Research-based knowledge and abilities generate, sustain and advance competencies and professional practices. 36

37 Contributions of research to society in four research fields. The area of the circle represents the proportion of respondents in each research field (%) who selected the given type of contribution. Economy and economic renewal Health and wellbeing Public services and institutions The environment and natural resources Human capacities and culture Improved business capability or competitiveness of individual companies Improved prospects for employment or expert work New business activity; attraction of investments Development or renewal of the economic environment; adaptive capacity of the economy Other impact on the economy and economic renewal Reduced morbidity or illness; improved physical or mental health Reduction of social problems; improved social welfare Improvement of healthcare Management or prevention of health-related risks Other impact on health and wellbeing Preparation of policy-making, legislation or other regulations Renewal of teaching curricula; educational planning Improvements related to other public services (e.g. public security, transportation, social services) Improved function of public institutions Other impact on public institutions and services Reduction of environmental stress; improved state of the environment Sustainable use of natural resources; protection of biodiversity Sustainability of the built environment, infrastructures or land use Management or prevention of environmental risks; improved ecological resilience Other impact on the environment and natural resources Strengthening civilisation, citizen participation or civil activity Protection of cultural diversity; improved cultural interaction or coexistence Development of environments supporting creativity, experimentation and learning Development of national or international community Other impact on human capacities and culture Source: Academy of Finland s survey on the broader impacts of research on society,

38 Main routes to impact Research impact can be considered by looking at the routes by which research-based knowledge and abilities are conveyed beyond academia. The main routes of impact can be viewed as follows: Transfer of research results: The results, inventions, methods or other outputs of research come into use beyond academia. There may be a lot of underpinning research and development in the background. Cooperation and interaction: Researchers work alongside and discuss and exchange knowledge with stakeholders beyond academia, such as business and industry, public authorities, education, civic organisations or professional practitioners. Proficient people: Research-based knowledge, expertise, vision and skills are conveyed by people who move and act beyond academia. 38

40 Recommendations concerning broader impact of research There is a mutually reinforcing relationship between top-level research, high-quality education and the broader impact of research. This must be taken into account in research and innovation policy. Science has both intrinsic value and significant societal impact. Universities and other research organisations must support, monitor and evaluate the broader impact of research in all its forms. The broader impact of research arises through multiple routes: through proficient people, cooperation and interaction, and through the transfer of research results. The various routes of impact and roles of science in society must be taken into account in the promotion of impact beyond academia. 40
