Abstract

Understanding the relationship between funding agencies’ expectations and researchers’ activities in funded research projects will contribute to improved policy-making by funding agencies and better research activity by researchers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate how research project size, international collaboration, and publication in international journals of articles resulting from funded research projects in Japan have progressed over the last decade. We focused on publications resulting from research projects funded by the major grants agencies in Japan and the USA using bibliographic data for computer science papers published from 2011 to 2020. Based on the numbers of authors of published journal articles and conference papers, the results showed that the size of projects funded by the National Science Foundation has been growing. In terms of international collaboration, both countries have increasingly collaborated with China, and researchers involved in research projects funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science have increasingly published in English-language journals with less diverse audiences.
