Abstract
- Regional capabilities and knowledge domain theses are proposed. Global biotechnology dynamics are analysed. Detailed research on Europe's leading bioeconomy, the UK, is presented. Global network analysis is performed based on research into collaborations between “star” scientists and their institutes in bioregions at a global scale, with regard to joint publication of bioscientific articles in US and European Union (EU) Science Citation Index representative and leading cited journals. The originality here lies in identifying the hierarchical structure and main network axes in the global bioscientific research system. The results show the expected in that the strongest bioregions are in North America, particularly around Boston, San Diego and San Francisco. For collaboration, using this measure, Sweden is revealed as a strong European research base, as is the UK. New bioregions are found rising in Asia, and Japan for long quiescent has at last begun to move. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
