Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.
Neurulation01:30

Neurulation

Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...

The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Summary

Norway implemented a research funding system based on publication output, leading to increased attention on research quality and quantity. This performance-based funding model is well-received and stimulates scientific advancement.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Research Evaluation
  • Science Policy

Background:

  • Norway introduced a national system for funding research institutions.
  • Funding is allocated based on the quantity and quality of scientific publications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel performance-based research funding system in Norway.
  • To evaluate the impact of publication-based funding on research output and institutional focus.

Main Methods:

  • Scientific publications were systematically counted and weighted by publication channel quality.
  • Author affiliations were used to attribute publication points to specific institutions.
  • A quantitative assessment of research output was established for universities and hospitals.

Published on: November 30, 2012

Main Results:

  • The number of publication points in neurology increased significantly from 2005 to 2007.
  • Institutions demonstrated increased focus on publication quantity and quality.
  • Research was increasingly viewed as both an institutional and individual responsibility.

Conclusions:

  • Performance-based funding, complementing project grants, is positively received and encourages enhanced research productivity.
  • Scientific publications serve as a valuable metric for research performance.
  • Debate continues regarding the precise methodologies for counting author addresses and assessing publication quality.
