Note Singapore“… because the level of research activity and maturity of the research environment in South-east Asian countries is varied and has
been changing rapidly in recent years, public perceptions of the amount and relevance of the research output can often be inaccurate. This gives particular emphasis to the need for data to support decisions concerning collaborative research programmes.”
