With global spend on cancer research from the public sector now in excess of 14 billion euro, as well as the increasing burden of disease in market economies and low-middle income countries through changing demographics (ageing and population growth) cancer is now one of the most complex and global public policy issues. Using novel bibliometrics we have sought to investigate changes in research activity (total output), relative commitment and collaborations between countries/regions with similar healthcare and population and development parameters - United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada and Sweden - to assess the utility of this policy research approach by analysing two different cohorts (1995-1999 and 2000-2004) to study the impact of changes on research publications as a surrogate for overall research activity.
随着公共部门在癌症研究上的全球支出现已超过 140 亿欧元，以及在市场经济体和中低收入国家中因人口结构变化（人口老龄化和人口增长）而导致的疾病负担日益加重，癌症现在是最复杂和最具全球性的公共政策问题之一。我们采用新颖的文献计量学方法，研究了具有相似医疗保健和人口及发展参数的国家/地区（英国、法国、德国、加拿大和瑞典）之间的研究活动（总产出）、相对投入和合作的变化情况，通过分析两个不同队列（1995-1999 年和 2000-2004 年）来评估这种政策研究方法的效用，以研究研究出版物变化对整体研究活动的影响。
