From: ‘Open access archiving: the fast track to building research capacity in developing countries’, Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop and Subbiah Arunachalamhttp://www.scidev.net/en/features/open-access-archiving-the-fast-track-to-building-r.html
Most new knowledge is largely reported from the richer countries, where spending on research and development is highest.
… researchers in eight countries — led by the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan — produce almost 85 percent of the world's most cited publications
163 other countries, mostly developing nations, account for less than 2.5 percent
only ten per cent of the global health research is undertaken in the developing world.

Investment in Irish Research:
Over the past 10 years expenditure on Higher Education R&D has quadrupled
Now reached OECD & EU-25 average HERD intensity ratio
between 2004 and 2006 the number of Researchers in Higher Education increased by 13%
“Justify budget of €2bn,

UNIVERSITIES and colleges will have to justify their €2bn budget as part of an unprecedented government investigation into third-level spending. By Ralph Riegel and John Walshe, Irish Independent, Thursday August 14 2008
