Effects of funding on the collaboration and citation in environmental papers and the relationship with nation’s science and technology budgets

Input, output, impact, and processes are central indicators of the science, technology, and innovation production. The input is usually associated to investments made in science and technology, and it varies among different countries and scientific fields. Thus, the input can influence other impact ...
