Forfás in conjunction with the Higher Education Authority (HEA) commissioned a Bibliometric study of the Irish Public Research Base. This is one component of a larger study which seeks to optimise the alignment between the publicly funded research and the enterprise base for economic benefit. The Bibliometric Study was carried out by Evidence Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters. The overall objective of the Bibliometric study was to profile research activity and areas of existing and emerging research strengths across the public research base. The study focused on a ten-year period (1998-2007) and the research disciplines were mapped with reference to discipline categories linked to the OECD Fields of Science (FoS) Classification. The analyses and the report are based solely on publication and citation data.
