The Research Landscape Crossing of national boundaries Highly mobile researchers, ideas &

technologies Need for prestige

» Quality assessment & ranking systems drives global engagement / competition

» Stem brain drain in public universities & attract full fee paying students in private universities

Public & private pressures on research investment

4

What drives research? Competition

Who leads, who follows? Scramble for scarce resources e.g. first to publish,

funding, PhD students, successful patents, spin-off enterprises

Collaboration Research networks & clusters in multidisciplinary

areas to solve complex problems Aided by instant global communications, data

transfer, rapid exchange & critique, & highly interactive

5

What drives research? Regulation

Governments, quality agencies, funding councils Need for accountability, ethics

Innovation Moving research ideas into Innovation Technology transfer – new products or improve on existing To tackle big questions – climate change, environmental

sustainability, poverty. Or else why invest public money? Outcomes to focus on economic & cultural development,

social betterment

6

We have a problem… Common issue faced by governments, policy makers

& senior administrators:

There are too many similar universities, employing similar people with similar backgrounds, coming up with similar ideas, producing similar

things & similar quality.

Raising profile of Indonesian University Research

How? Medium of Communication = Primarily Scientific

Journals

To increase prominence: Internationalize local Indonesian Journals Publish more in International Journals

Internationalization of Indonesian Journals

For a local Journal to be successful, it cannot be too local.

The Solution: Funding Intelligence Tool (FIT)

FIT provides three key benefits:

1. Comprehensive funding content: Stop worrying you’re missing out on opportunities

2. Targeted Recommendations: Find guidance on where to apply to

3. Funding Intelligence: Enabling performance measurement, benchmarking and strategic planning

FIT enables universities to better compete and increase grant income

37

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

Automated recommendations matched on pre-populated profiles (Scopus)

“Pre-population of publication history [would be] a big winner with researchers – they hate doing it manually.”
