Using data compiled by the National Science Foundation, the proportion of "positive" results was then regressed against a sheer measure of academic productivity: the number of articles published per-capita (i.e. per doctorate holder in academia) in each US state, controlling for the effects of per-capita research expenditure.
What's more, the smaller the research population and the lower the R&D expenditure per capita researcher, the higher the proportion of female scientists, with the Baltic States, Bulgaria, and Romania having the most women in research.
Rahman and Fukui found that gross national product (GNP) per capita and research and development (R&D) expenditure were statistically significantly associated with biomedical research productivity[ 23].
The report notes that rich countries spend 220 times more per capita on research than do poor countries, a gap that panelist Ismail Serageldin, director of Egypt's Alexandria Library, calls "a form of scientific apartheid".
Resources refers to financial resources as well as human and institutional capacities (eg number of researchers per capita), infrastructure, and research environment necessary to sustain an effective health research system.
This is good news for Irish researchers, because their nation's per capita spending on research and development is among the lowest in the industrialized world.
For the first time since Capita began the research, all sectors increased their dividends in the third quarter (after distorting factors are eliminated).
BIH also trails other former Yugoslav republics in the per capita number of research articles published.
Ireland spent approximately US$911 11 on genomics research per capita while the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and the Netherlands funded between US$2.86.46.4 per capita each year (with the exception of 2004 for the Netherlands, see above).
The United Kingdom was the second highest funder of genomics research per capita and per GDP (Tables 5 and 6); both measures of genomics "intensity" declined in 2006.
