SGER: Comparing Assessments of National Position in Key Science and Technology Fields

9618668 Mogee提议的项目通过比较最近的外国和美国预测报告来解决科学技术（S&amp；T）相对国家地位评估的可复制性问题，以查看各国在关键S&amp；T领域的相对地位评估是否在研究中是一致的。特别要注意的是，其他国家对美国在关键科技领域的相对地位的评估，是否达到了美国研究努力所达到的水平。这种方法利用了已经完成的研究，由不同的人进行，使用各种方法。这项研究预计将使人们更好地了解最近的国家技术预测和评估报告的可比性，它们对国家技术地位的评估的一致性，以及这些评估如何与基于国际专利数据的定量指标进行比较。从科学和工程指标的角度来看，特别感兴趣的是对不同国家报告中确定的关键科技领域的比较，对不同国家评估的美国关键领域的相对位置的比较，以及对该排名与基于国际专利数据的排名的比较。这些资料将增进对评估质量的了解和对评估的信心。＊＊＊

9618668 Mogee The proposed project addresses the question of the replicability of assessments of relative national position in science and technology (S&T) by comparing recent foreign and U. S. forecasting reports to see whether assessments of the relative standing of countries in key S&T fields are consistent across the studies. Particular attention will be paid to whether other countries are reaching the same assessments of U. S. relative position in key S&T fields as reached by U. S. study efforts. This approach takes advantage of studies that have already been done, conducted by different people and using a variety of methods. The research is expected to result in a better understanding of the comparability of recent national technology forecasting and assessment reports, the consistency of their assessments of national technological positions, and how these assessments compare with a quantitative indicator based on international patent data. Of particular interest from a science and engineering indicators perspective will be a comparison of the critical S&T fields identified in the reports of different nations, a comparison of the relative position of the U. S. key fields as assessed by different countries, and a comparison of this ranking with a ranking based on international patent data. This information will increase understanding of the quality of the assessments and the confidence that can be placed in them. ***
