本研究调查了日本政府的大规模研究资助对大学研究人员研究成果的影响。为了评估效果，我们使用差异中的差异估计和衡量的论文数量和每篇论文的引用计数方面的研究成果。我们的分析表明，资助计划导致了一些领域的论文数量增加，而其他领域的引文数量增加。我们的估计结果与同行评审的评估数据的比较显示出重要的差异。由于研究的特点因领域而异，文献计量学分析应沿着同行评议方法，以更准确地分析研究影响。
This study investigates the effects of large-scale research funding from the Japanese government on the research outcomes of university researchers. To evaluate the effects, we use the difference-in-differences estimator and measure research outcomes in terms of number of papers and citation counts per paper. Our analysis shows that the funding program led to an increase in the number of papers in some fields and an increase in the citation counts in the other fields. A comparison of our estimation results with assessment data obtained from peer reviews showed important differences. Since the characteristics of research vary according to the field, bibliometrics analysis should be used along with the peer review method for a more accurate analysis of research impact.
