Created by ZSI's bibliometrics team

==> Please note that you can navigate down/up if slides offer more details! <==

The SEA-EU-NET project

  • FP7 funded
  • supporting ASEAN-EU research cooperation and related policy dialogue
  • Runtime: 4 years (Oct 2012 to Sep 2016)
  • Coordination: DLR/Germany
  • Activities:
    • Stakeholder dialogue
    • H2020 information
    • Thematic workshops
    • Alumni activities
    • Analyses → Bibliometrics

Key message 1

Research output in the ASEAN region is growing fast(er than the world average) – expanding research potential

Results

ASEAN-EU publications 2004-2013: 412303 records
→ 3-fold increase between 2004 and 2013

ASEAN countries' publication output
during the past 10 years (2004-2013), by country

Research output in ASEAN countries - development over the years

Key message 2

The ASEAN research landscape is fairly internationalised

Results

60 % of ASEAN research output are international co-publications (249341 records)

ASEAN countries' co-publications (2004-2013)

Research output in ASEAN countries - development over the years

Key message 3

The European Research Area is ASEAN‘s main co-publication partner region in the world

Results

ASEAN-EU 2004-2013: 52281 records
→ 13% of ASEAN output

ASEAN co-publications with important partners (2004-2013)

Research output in ASEAN countries - development over the years

ASEAN countries' co-publications with ERA (2004-2013)

Research output in ASEAN countries - development over the years

Key message 4

ASEAN's research output is strongest in:

  • Clinical Medicine
  • Engineering
  • ICTs
  • Enabling & Strategic Technologies
  • Physics & Astronomy

Thematic areas in ASEAN output

Thematic strengths in ASEAN-EU collaboration

Country differences


For instance, in some countries, other fields are more productive than "Clinical Medicine".


  • Malaysia: Engineering; "Enabling & Strategic Technologies"
  • Vietnam: Information and Communication Technologies

Thematic areas in ASEAN research publications

Key message 5

ASEAN-EU cooperation is particularly strong in:

  • Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry
  • Biology
  • Biomedical Research
  • Chemistry
  • Earth & Environmental Sciences
  • Physics & Astronomy

Thematic strengths in ASEAN-EU collaboration

Thematic strengths in ASEAN-EU collaboration

Share of co-publications with authors from ERA/US/JP.
E.g.: In 16% of journal publications by Southeast Asia-based authors,
at least one co-author from Europe is involved.

Intra-ASEAN collaboration

  1. Indonesia: medicine-related areas (cardiovasc. systems) strongest with TH; with MY in general S&T, materials, energy, artificial intelligence, electrical engineering
  2. Malaysia: chemical engineering (particularly TH, PH); general S&T (ID); plant biology (BN); environmental sciences (VN)
  3. Philippines: med-related areas with and microbiology with SG and TH; chem. Engineering with MY
  4. Singapore: strongest in medicine-related areas except for Indonesia where chemistry is more important
  5. Thailand: remarkably strong link in inorganic & nuclear chemistry with Malaysia
  6. Vietnam: medicine-related areas clearly the strongest; biomedicine strong with Thailand and Cambodia

Summary

  1. ASEAN research output is growing fast(er than the world average)
  2. ERA as ASEAN‘s main co-publication partner region in the world
  3. ASEAN countries' research is fairly internationalised
  4. Trend towards collaboration with the European Research Area (ERA)
  5. Health research is important for all ASEAN countries; other strengths are individual
