MARDI has been actively performing research and development (RD) on rice since its establishment in 1969. The technologies generated are transferred for the benefit of farmers and public in general. One of the most common approaches to transfer technology is through publication. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between RD activities and publications on rice by MARDI researchers. Data were collected from all publications published by MARDI between 1973 and 2010 (38 years). This study found that 79 technologies related to rice were generated with an average of two technologies per years of which most of them are on varietal development. During the same period a total of 374 articles on rice were published in MARDI journals bulletins reports books manuals and magazines. On average 10 articles were published every year and most of them in agronomy discipline. Most of articles were published in bulletins (39) and journals (36). In conclusion there is a strong relationship between R D activities and publications on rice. New technologies and knowledge on paddy were well transferred and shared between researchers and the target audience.

Abstract

MARDI has been actively performing research and development (RD) on rice since its establishment in 1969. The technologies generated are transferred for the benefit of farmers and public in general. One of the most common approaches to transfer technology is through publication. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between RD activities and publications on rice by MARDI researchers. Data were collected from all publications published by MARDI between 1973 and 2010 (38 years). This study found that 79 technologies related to rice were generated with an average of two technologies per years of which most of them are on varietal development. During the same period a total of 374 articles on rice were published in MARDI journals bulletins reports books manuals and magazines. On average 10 articles were published every year and most of them in agronomy discipline. Most of articles were published in bulletins (39) and journals (36). In conclusion there is a strong relationship between R D activities and publications on rice. New technologies and knowledge on paddy were well transferred and shared between researchers and the target audience.
