Abstract

The outputs from the fundamental research program of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) were analyzed using the research budget and manpower as input variables. The analysis was performed based on the research outputs of the past 3 years (FY2004 to 2006). More articles and patents came out in applied and development research areas among the geosciences fields. The statistical analysis indicates that each sub-field has different characteristics in research outputs. Research articles, patents, and research budget increase as the manpower increase. But research articles and patents do not always show positive relations to research budget.

본 연구는 한국지질자원연구원에서 3년간(2004-2006) 수행된 기본사업 성과를 투입연구비 및 투입인력 둥의 변수로 분석하였다. 세부분야 기술별 성과의 특성을 기술통계적으로 분석한 결과, 실험 및 개발 분야가 상대적으로 논문 및 특허가 많이 생산되는 것을 보여주고 있다. SPSS을 이용하여 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 투입 연구인력 수가 많아지면 연구비 규모가 커지고, 연구 성과량도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다 다만, 연구비가 증가한다고 연구 성과량이 증가하지는 않는 것으로 나타났다.
