Distributions of scientific funding across universities and research disciplines
The suitable distribution of scientific funding is important to innovation acceleration. A longitudinal panel dataset of NSFC including the total 224,087 sponsored projects is utilized. The distributions of scientific funding across universities and research disciplines are investigated. The inequality of funding distribution is studied through the investigation of Gini coefficient. The fundamental rules are discovered through the technique of distribution fitting.
