Requirements: Supporting Wealth Creation and Quality of Life CRIS++ Two ideas for the next steps Neil Jacobs, JISC

1. UK science is good… “British research produced 13% of the world’s top –..most cited – papers in 2003, measured across a wide spectrum of disciplines.” (DTI 2005) “[w]ith around 1% of the world's population, the country produces 8% of the world's scientific publications, attracting over 9% of citations in other papers” (Randerson, 2004) …and efficient: “UK researchers are among the most prolific in the world, producing 16 research papers per $1 million of research funding compared to 9.2 in the USA and 3.6 in Japan.” (DTI 2005)

And UK innovation is strong “ The United Kingdom presents a relatively strong innovation performance both in absolute terms for specific indicators and in terms of recent trends” (EC 2005)

But, 2, UK science-innovation link is not so good UK CIS-3 survey; responses by over 8000 manufacturing / service firms: –“universities and government research organisations were amongst the least likely of these sources to be identified as being of ‘high importance’. –It is also the case that they were amongst the least likely of the sources to be used at all.” (Tether & Swann 2003)

In summary CERIF-based CRIS are a good fit with science-innovation processes Further enhancements could focus on: –Descriptions of research methodology –Source and credentials of information
