Evaluating the value and productivity of R&D efforts is a task that falls to every market segment as organizations are faced with the directive to set research priorities, allocate resources, evaluate performance and do strategic planning. What the market needs are appropriate analytical tools that will pinpoint trends and provide evaluative measures of ongoing fields of research. This presentation will explore the scope and functional requirements for developing analytical tools and other quantitative measures that evaluate productivity in the global scientific and research communities. A trend analysis of scientific development in Australia will be used to illustrate these tools.
