To identify current status of research funding and open access, this study analyzed the data available in science and technology articles had been published by S university's faculty members. The study showed that 71% of the articles funded by their universities or other research sponsors, whereas very few of articles have been self-archived for open access. So, government-sponsored research outputs could not be found in search engine Google Scholar. In developed countries, researchers who have received grants by the public or private sponsors should not only publish articles on scholarly journals but also deposit their digital research outputs in the repositories. Therefore, it is advisable for Korea research sponsors to strengthen and carry out open access mandate related laws. It is very important for universities as well as for their faculties that published articles' impact can be maximized by enabling open access. So, universities may as well construct their repositories and collect the contents with enthusiasm.

As the important factors to improve research performance, the researchers' capacity and the input of resources like research funds have been pointed out. As joint researches are recently vitalized, however, the scientific knowledge is produced by forming continuous mutual relations through the structural characteristics between researchers. Since the support of research funds becomes a foothold to perform researches as multiple institutions cooperate with each other, it can be considered to have influence on research performance. In other words, it can be estimated that the support of research funds has influence on research performance by generating differences in the connecting structure of joint researches. In the results of analyzing the relation between network structure and research performance in accordance with the matter of supporting research funds, targeting the joint research theses in the culture technology(CT) area for five years from 2009 to 2013 in SCIE DB, when multiple research institutes are connected to each other, the number of thesis is increased. When the betweenness centrality is increased, the number of thesis is decreased. Also, the matter of supporting research funds has influence on network structure and research performance.

In early 2019, Korea passed the law that introduced data management plan policy similar to those adopted by national funding agencies in other countries. In anticipation of developing research data infrastructure and support services, this study analyzed Australia's relevant policies and policy instruments. A number of face-to-face interviews with the experts at the national funding agency, a national research data agency and a number of research libraries, along with focused literature analysis. In Australia, the 2015 Public Data Policy is applied to research data from publicly funded research. Research data management and sharing is recommended but not required by the national funding agency it its policy documents. Australian National Data Service(ANDS), Australia's national research data agency, is an important component of the national research infrastructure. ANDS plays a wide range of roles including research data platform development, education and training, policy support, and funding agency for small-scale R&D. Some of the Australian research libraries have developed in-house systems for research data storage and publishing. However, there is no significant demand for research data service as yet. Lessons learned include the following: ensuring transparency and predictability of research data policies, establishing a dedicated agency responsible for research data platform development and training, and cultivating data capabilities at research libraries.

국가연구개발사업은 국민의 세금을 재원으로 조성된 기금 등에서 지원되기 때문에 투명한 연구비 집행과 연구자의 고도의 윤리적 책임이 수반된다. 그러나 연구정산과 규정을 규제위주로 변화시키고 연구비 정산 관리자 및 전문기관, 회계법인 등에서는 연구현장에 대한 기본적인 이해부족, 연구비 정산 관련 규정 등에 대하여 일관적이기 보다는 자의적인 해석, 및 공공부문의 내부 회계 시스템 불인정 등으로 많은 혼란과 부작용을 초래하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 국가연구개발사업 정산제도 관련 현황을 진단하고 앞으로 개선해야할 점에 대한 부분을 입법론으로 도출하고자 한다.

This study aims to analyze data management policies offered by 15 government funding agencies in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia, and to make recommendations for developing data management policies in Korea. For the analysis of data management policies, five criteria were suggested based on literature review as follows: 1) the definition of research data, 2) principles of data management, 3) data management plan, 4) the implementation of data management, 5) legal and ethical issues. It was found that there was no policy that covers all the criteria for the analysis. Several funding agencies, however, commonly dealt with each criteria in their data management policies. Based on the findings from the analysis, this study made the following suggestions: First, data policies provide definitions and types of research data based on the understanding of data creation in the fields of funding interests. Second, data policies include principles of data management applicable to data practices in Korea. Third, data policies implement data management plans to promote responsibility of researchers for managing data. Fourth, data policies specify data management implementations to facilitate and support data sharing practices. Fifth, data policies should minimize legal and ethical challenges in data sharing through the review of the applicability of related laws and regulations and their improvement.

In the growth of the government's investment in national R&D project and the abuse of research expense, an effective control and management mechanism is strongly demanded. However, an excessive regulation might hinder the R&D performance, which also endangers the underlying objective of R&D policy. Especially, an excessive regulation on the R&D expenditure may damage the SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) where securing an adequate level of R&D funding is vital. This study investigates the R&D funding and R&D performance of SMEs participating in the national R&D project by using fixed effect panel model. As a result, this paper reveals the effectiveness of 'Government R&D subsidy'. However, that of 'private R&D fund' is not supported strongly. Also, this paper empirically demonstrates the efficiency of both 'Government R&D subsidy' and 'Private R&D fund' as the R&D costs are spent discretionarily (as the degree of 'Indirect Cost Ratio' increases). Especially, the effectiveness of 'Private R&D fund' can be moderated by 'Indirect Cost Ratio'. On the basis of the conclusions, this paper draws an implication that can increase R&D performance of SMEs through the interactions of manifold administrative values (i.e. effectiveness, efficiency and responsibility).

In recent years, countries such as USA, United Kingdom and Australia have begun to implement national policies in order to systematically manage and share research data produced through publicly funded research. However, Korea as of yet does not have a coordinated research data policy. The lack of infrastructure that supports the sharing and preserving research data results in the poor management and loss of valuable data produced from significant national R&D investments. The need for research data collection, management and sharing goes beyond the outcome assessment of national research: it facilitates the diffusion of research impact and economic development. There is a growing recognition that data sharing is an essential element of research ethics. This research investigates the relevant research data policies and methods of governance at the national level using a case study analysis. United Kingdom was selected as a case study target as it shows a wide variety of policy examples and instruments. In particular, this research focuses on the UK's national legal framework for research data sharing, analyzes the RCUK (Research Councils UK)'s data policies, activities at the seven research councils under RCUK as well as several supporting institutions. Based on the analyses, this research offers a national roadmap for better managing and sharing of research data in Korea.

The establishment of function and role in government-funded research institute becomes a vital issue as fierce international technology-competition and enhanced industrial convergence makes science and technology important and influential more and in socio-economic level. This paper defines independent and dependent variables to identify factors which influence on research performance. As the independent variables, research funds, research personnel and research support staff are chosen. Dependent variables which are selected as proxy variables of research performance are royalties, papers and patents. Values from regression analysis were drawn by time-series analysis and cross-section analysis. As a result, the significance of correlation coefficients is sequential, research personnel, research support staff and research funds respectively. This finding is expected to give implication of future direction on government-funded research institute development.
