Interdependence between Overseas and Domestic R&D Activities: Evidence from Taiwanese Multinationals
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of the present paper is to examine the interdependence between the overseas and domestic R&D activities of Taiwanese multinational enterprises (MNEs). Because domestic (overseas) R&D activities may enter the overseas (domestic) R&D determination equation as an endogenous right-hand side variable, the traditional estimation approach will be invalid due to the endogeneity problem. Therefore, it is proposed that the two R&D decisions be estimated using a simultaneous Tobit model. The results in this paper indicate that Taiwanese MNEs that engage in higher levels of domestic R&D activities will engage in overseas R&D activities. Interestingly, it is also found that Taiwanese MNEs increase their overseas R&D activities in developed countries instead of their domestic R&D activities, whereas Taiwanese MNEs that engage in overseas R&D activities in less-developed countries will raise their domestic R&D activities. As for the other common determinants of the overseas and domestic R&D activities, firm size and the capital-labor ratio are found to be the main factors.[[note]]SSC
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Association of mtDNA haplogroup F with healthy longevity in the female Chuang population, China
No full textHuman longevity is a complex heritable genetic trait. Based on substantial evidence from model organisms, it is clear that mitochondria play a pivotal role in aging and lifespan. However, the effects that mitochondrial genome variations have upon longevity and longevity-related phenotypes in Chuang people in China have yet to be established. By genotyping 15 variants for 10 haplogroups in 738 Chuang subjects, including 367 long-lived individuals and 371 controls, we found that haplogroup F was significantly associated with longevity in females of Zhuang population of China (p=0.003, OR: 2.01, 95%Cl: 1.263-3.197). Additionally, haplogroup F was related to higher HDL levels (p<0.05) in long-lived individuals. Further analysis suggests that the non-synonymous variant m.13928G>C in haplogroup F was also associated with longevity in female Zhuang Chinese which might account for the beneficial effect of F.

Overseas R&D activities and intellectual property rights - a longitudinal study of multinational enterprises in emerging economies
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of intellectual property rights (IPRs) protection on the overseas R&D activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in emerging economies and to determine whether the influence differs among the various host countries. To provide further empirical evidence, this analysis takes advantage of the longitudinal dataset and IPRs indices developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) over the 2002-2006 period. The empirical results show that the IPRs protection in the host countries has a significant influence on the overseas R&D activities of MNEs in emerging economies. Interestingly, the influence of IPRs protection is found to differ significantly between developing and developed countries. A stronger degree of IPRs protection in developing countries is found to result in more overseas R&D activities, while a stronger degree of IPRs protection in developed countries, particularly in industrialised countries, tends to reduce the overseas R&D activities of MNEs in emerging economies. In addition, the degree of IPRs protection in host countries is found to play a significant role in moderating overseas R&D activities.[[note]]SSC
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Response to Chuang and Ho's comments on "a bibliometric study of the trend in articles related to eutrophication published in Science Citation Index"
No full textThis note is a response Chuang and Ho's comments regarding to the appropriate selection of keywords for a bibliometric study entitled "a bibliometric study of the trend in articles related to eutrophication published in Science Citation Index" published in Scientometrics. Chuang's inquiry was Huang and Yi's careless use of filter, which had committed inaccurate results and wrong conclusions. This short note will explain the authors' arguments to Chuang and Ho's inquiry in two folds, the conceptual analysis of keywords selection, and bibliometric comparison between 'eutrophication' and 'eutrophication and eutrophic'.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000303533600029&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Computer Science, Interdisciplinary ApplicationsInformation Science & Library ScienceSCI(E)SSCI0EDITORIAL MATERIAL31067-10719
