Efficiency evaluation of S&T resource allocation using an accurate quantification of the time-lag effect and relation effect: a case study of Chinese research institutes

Efficiency evaluation is a significant means of judging the allocation quality of science and technology (S&T) resource. In reality, the process of S&T resource allocation is accompanied by the time-lag effect and relation effect, and the effect differences among research institutes are obvious. In this study, we attempt to conduct efficiency evaluation of S&T resource allocation in Chinese research institutes using an accurate...
