An analysis commissioned from Elsevier by the UK Department of

Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)

• The UK is a global research leader but faces major challenges including funding

levels and growth vs. others, eg. China

• The UK’s aim is to sustain a “strong, productive research base which is

responsive, flexible and dynamic” to drive long-term growth

Elsevier’s Objective:

• Build robust, fact-based assessments and insights to help BIS target future

investments to maximize growth and societal impact and explore

implications for UK research policy
