Oulu Oulu University GETA seminar 19.-21.01.2011 Ou CONCLUSIONS AND NOTES FAST METHOD AVAILABLE TO ALL RESEARCHERS GIVES INDICATIONS overall view novelty of research area competitive position background work needed new innovations needed financing type FURTHER LIMITATION WHEN “HUNTING” find new applications combinations possibilities S-CURVES MIGHT BE ONE TOOL TO ANALYSE RESEACH AREA AMOUNT OF PUBLICATIONS TIME

14. Oulu Oulu University GETA seminar 19.-21.01.2011 Ou ADDITIONALLY YOU CAN FIND Who is Who – in this research topic Most cited publications Main journals – impact factor or the best audience How your supervisor is doing !!!! HOWEVER................. METHOD CAN EFFECT A LOT! IT IS VERY SENSIVE AND IF NOT DONE CORRECTLY - RESULTS are MISLEADING!
