inspire research analysed bibliometric data on Austrian publications from 2013 to 2022 with regard to visibility, resonance and cooperation with companies and compared publications whose underlying research was funded by different funding organisations. For the comparisons we analysed information on ERC-, MSCA-, H2020-, ERDF-, FWF-, CDG-, COMET- and other FFG-funded research publications in the bibliometric datasets..

According to data from Statistics Austria, R&D expenditure by Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) rose from EUR 77.4 million in 2011 to EUR 164.6 million in 2021. This corresponds to a 3.7 % share of total R&D expenditure in the Austrian higher education sector in 2011 and 5.4 % in 2021. inspire research examined whether this increase in R&D funding is also reflected in the publication output, visibility and resonance of UAS publications in the scientific community.
