TCD Research Support System Brief/Context

A coherent information policy for College to address the needs of management, the Library, e-learning,

electronic publications and records management will

be developed with a view to having an integrated

view of information systems across the whole of

College.”

“A research database will be part of an integrated management system to help monitor our progress in research and scholarship and to help manage their support.

development projects.

Ireland has now moved from a level below Bangladesh to breaking into the top

20 in the scientific global rankings, according to Thomson Reuters Essential

Scientific Indicators.

Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Conor Lenihan, said that in

2009, SFI linked 184 multinational firms and 165 small and medium-sized

enterprises with academic teams.

"The agency supported 29 top-class research centres and 3,225 researchers in

higher education institutions," said Mr Lenihan.

"Collaborations and partnerships between Ireland's scientific research and

enterprise communities are now being formed at an unprecedented level and

they are a critical component of our developing 'smart' economy."

Over the next six years, the Government confirmed that it would invest €2.4bn in

science, technology and innovation programmes.

“FI s support for orld-class scientific research is contributing

to the success in attracting foreign direct investments to Ireland.

He said the quality and volume of our scientific publications has

Conclusion

...to redraw the map of global knowledge production, the

inequitable global power dynamics of global knowledge

production and exchange must be confronted head on.

Funding and infrastructure must be improved, our

per eptio s of s ie e ust e roade ed to e o pass the social sciences, research outputs need to be recognised as

existing beyond the boundaries of the formal journal article,

and incentives and reward systems need to be adjusted to

encourage the legitimation of the new fairer practices made

more possible by the affordances of a digitally networked

world.

And finally, the open access movement needs to broaden its

focus – from access to knowledge to full participation in

knowledge creation and in scholarly communication.
