I would like a literature review that consists of two parts: 1.
the balance between basic research and applied research, and 2. a discussion about the dispersal or concentration of public R&D investment. This review is crucial for my research, and I expect that both parts will be written in more than 1,200 words.
In my dissertation, I will quantitatively analyse the academic performance of publicly funded R&D projects and compare the results between basic research (blue-skies research) and applied research (mission-oriented research). I need your help to write a literature review of around 11 pages.
To be easier to understand, the methodology part is mainly based on Fortin 2013 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0065263). I will apply the analysis to two types of funding programmes focusing on basic research and applied research, respectively. The lack of comparison between the two types is the research gap I found.
Here, I list resources that will probably be useful.
1. the balance between basic research and applied research

This is a systematic review so its references might be useful as well.
