    The contribution of public funding to science: an investigation of research quality
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-17) Shapira, Philip ; Wang, Jue
    This study attempts to investigate the impact of research funding on the quality of scientific publications using the funding acknowledgement analysis approach. A two-stage regression model is used to test the effect of funding on research quality. The results show that publications from funded research do exhibit higher quality in terms of both journal ranking and citation counts. In the meantime, different funding sources and patterns are of different implications to research quality.

    Perceptions and Actions: Examining the Relationship between Societal Perceptions and Citation Actions of Nanotechnology Scientists
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16) Carley, Stephen ; Corley, Elizabeth A. ; Scheufele, Dietram ; Shapira, Philip ; Youtie, Jan
    This study links survey data on scientists societal perceptions of nanotechnology with publication data to understand the extent of association between societal perspectives held by nanoscientists and publication actions. We find that perceptions about moral limits mediate citation actions whereas attitudes toward government regulation have no significant effect.

    Commercialization of New and Emerging Technologies:A Cross Country Comparison of Graphene Firms
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-15) Arora, Sanjay ; Gao, Lidan ; Ma, TingTing ; Shapira, Philip ; Youtie, Jan L.
    This research employs a web-scraping methodology to 1) investigate country level differences among twenty graphene SMEs and 2) devise several measures that gauge the extent to which firm specialization in graphene coincides with other market factors. We identify three groups of SMEs to develop some early evidence of graphene commercialization.
