This is in sharp contrast to other drug houses whose mergers have been motivated in good part by a desire to cut overlapping research costs.
If two articles described overlapping research findings from the same dataset, we removed the article that reported less methodological information.
A previous study with a partly overlapping research group performed a sick leave analysis among self-employed Dutch farmers [ 22].
Expert recommendations for grey literature (i.e. not published in a peer reviewed journal) or for literature currently in press were asked for within our immediate team and teams with overlapping research interests, and were included for screening.
Rather, the framework offers an overview of potential, and sometimes overlapping, research impact areas that can serve as a series of prompts or a checklist that researchers can select from or modify, as appropriate to the research being described and taking into account, for example, funders' priorities or research assessment criteria.
In order to avoid a piecemeal approach in which some targets are neglected while others are the subject of overlapping research by different groups, there is an urgent need to establish a network of research teams with expertise in molecular radiobiology and the desire to test the potential of targeted drugs to act as radiosensitisers (Maughan et al, 2010).
In some of the smaller capital cities there was an overlap of research areas where in some cases a service identified was relevant to both research areas rather than being distinct to one.
It is difficult to provide firm numbers without analysing our budget in some detail, as teaching costs in many cases overlap with research.
J. David Rogers, a professor and geological engineer at the Missouri University of Science and Technology who was not involved in the report, said such overlap of research and commercial interests was common in science and engineering but added that it might be perceived as a conflict of interest.
There is also a risk of overlap between research projects that would result in wasted resources.
