| Abstract:
The introduction of an audit culture in public universities and research organizations all over Europe has set up new conditions for the role and function of the traditional peer review system. New and primarily quantitative performance based evaluation systems based on bibliometrics has taken the lead in research evaluation. Key problems with the new research evaluation systems are their standardized and normalized approach. They aim at measuring in relation to stable and well defined disciplinary and organizational surrounding. On the other hand research on the front line is more and more based on often temporary network collaboration, and cross and transdisciplinary combinations, all of which is very difficult to measure in a bibliometric based system. The paper discuss if introducing an organized dialogue in the peer review system enhance the evaluation to catch the new and often temporary organizational dimensions in research

| Abstract:
Paper published is a way to demonstrate the academic research performance. Due to the subjective judgments, the uncertainty of humanities and social sciences is higher than that of natural sciences. Thus, a larger reference scope and a verifiable bibliometric method are needed for evaluation. It ought to be clarified the output styles first then be developed the appropriate indicators based on the data gathered. This proposal is to utilize a fully integrated database about the books and papers of Taiwanese university scholars to establish the academic evaluation indicators. The contours of collaboration styles in knowledge diffusion among the scholars would also be sketched. This study could not only give guidance to evaluate academic performance in humanities and social sciences, but also provide the references to the authorities when they formulate the related rewarding and evaluation systems in the future.

| Abstract:
Survival analysis is a class of statistical methods for studying the occurrence and timing of event. This paper defines an event as an occurrence of a patent. In Korea, every year KISTEP surveys the data of patents related to National R&D programs. In this paper, this data was used. It includes the investment of R&D, and is sorted by research stage, Technology type, socio-economic objective. We can find the portfolio of national R&D investment in the data. We can also know when the R&D program started and the first patent occurred. It means that. we can measure the interval in which the event occurs. Using R&D investments, the interval where the first patent occurs, we can do survival analysis. In the survival analysis, we find the elements or the fields which have a great effect on the occurrence of a patent. In the result, we can find where our governments have to investment to make the first patent occur quickly. At last we can suggest our governments more invest certain fields to develop more patents
