Economic Growth, Population and Research Output : A Scientometric Analysis of Genetic Engineering, 1988-2000

摘要

This paper analyses the data downloaded from Dialog's Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering abstracts datasbase for the period from 1988 and 2000. The population and the GNP are taken for a particular year and correlated with the research output. Result shows the collaborative authorship trend and that there is no significant relation between research and the total population or the GNP.
