2.Some discussions of activities of foreign pharmaceutical companies in Vietnam
Pharmaceutical Journal 2000;291(7):3-5
The pharmaceutical market in Vietnam met the needs of disease prevention and care in which the foreign pharmaceutical companies contributed to this aspect. However, the activities of foreign pharmaceutical companies mainly focused the trading. Their investment in the drug manufacture was limited and was only on the popular drugs

5.After designation of Research-driven Hospitals.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2014;57(5):378-381
In April 2013, the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare designated 10 hospitals as "Research-driven Hospitals" for 3 years, which meant that these hospitals met the predefined government standards for research in terms of organization governance, human resources, equipment, etc. The project on Research-driven Hospitals comprises two programs: one is the Evaluation and Designation Program, and the other is the Systems and R&D Budget Support Program. The latter is composed of two tasks: making and improving the support systems, such as a tax system, to foster research in the designated Research-driven Hospitals; and allocating the R&D Budget to only the winners of the competition among the designated hospitals according to the National Health Technology Plan. The R&D funding will be about 1.2 trillion KW ($1 billion US), and half of this funding will be allocated during the first 9 years. The former program is to formulate the standards and rules for Research-driven Hospitals and to evaluate and designate a qualified hospital as a research-driven hospital. Although there have been many concerns regarding the project, we are hoping that this project will go well and achieve great success, making the Research-driven Hospitals in Korea among the world's best. In fact, we hope that the Research-driven Hospitals will not only foster research that will bridge the current gap between basic and clinical research but also improve the current health care environment and develop the health technology industry, and finally help people lead healthier lives as well as help patients and their families recover faster from disease.

6.Practical Aspects of Health Policy Research Themes in Korea.
Korean Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 2011;14(2):137-140
Research and development (R&D) is very important to acquire new knowledge in various fields. The significance of public R&D is also increasing, especially related to health policy making, establishing basic databases, and enhancing basic and clinical science. The total budget of general public R&D in Korea was approximately ten billon US Dollars in 2008, but the proportion of health care research was just below 10%. In private sectors, it was three times the amount allocated to the public budget. In this article, recent trends in public R&D in Korea, especially related to health care policy and biotechnology are summarized. A brief overview of the application process for a specific policy fund is also described for early-stage researchers in these fields.

STUDY DESIGN: Literature review. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to present updated information on the research support programs offered by the National Research Foundation of Korea. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: The research support programs offered by the National Research Foundation of Korea are an important cornerstone for obtaining other grants from the government and commercial companies. However, no information has yet been provided in the literature about these programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Review of the relevant literature. RESULTS: The research support programs offered by the National Research Foundation of Korea are complex. However, it is possible to find appropriate grants. It is necessary to focus on the individual basic research program. CONCLUSIONS: Novel proposals have a greater chance of receiving funding, especially if the appropriate background and preliminary data are provided.

8.Effects of the vertical management of the administrative fund in Hoa Binh health sector
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2001;(11):24-27
It is effective when managing vertically administrative fund in Hoa Binh health sector. The effectiveness has been illustrated by the results of activities in all areas. Implementing vertical fund management makes a better condition for Hoa Binh health sector fulfilling its functions and responsibilities. Hoa Binh health sector is more active in utilizing and allocating resources appropriately. Preventive and curative care at local levels has been located with more resources. Hoa Binh health sector has better conditions to focus on solving the medical equipment issue synchronously with relevant priorities. As a result, it can achieve highly effective investment.

9.The History of Dermatopathology in Korean Dermatological Association.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 2012;50(5):381-386
The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology, held in Seoul, marked a milestone in the history of Korean dermatology. It is anticipated that Korean dermatological science will continue noticeable progress in the foreseeable future. At this point in time, I think it is essential to look back upon our previous advancements in various fields of dermatology. Therefore, I reviewed the history of Korean Society of Dermatopathology (KSDP) focused on the activities of Korean Dermatology Association (KDA) members. It includes foundation of KSDP, establishment of dermatopathology symposium, performance of dermatopathology training program, granting research funds of KDA, and academic interchange between the members through periodical study meetings. The KSDP has a relatively long history among member societies under KDA. Therefore, we need to take the initiative and set an example for other members to follow.

10.Application of new information technologies to scholarly journals: ORCID, CrossMark, and FundRef.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2014;57(5):455-462
Recently, there has been a rapid adoption of a variety of information technologies to scholarly journal publishing. For example, the digital object identifier application launched in 2000 has become an international standard of journal networks. In 2012, Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) and CrossMark were launched. Further, FundRef began its service in 2013. Since most medical journals from Korea are published by academic societies themselves, editors should understand these projects and apply them to their journals. ORCID is a unique identifier of every researcher and contributor in the world. In Korea, there are particularly many people who have the same name, and hence, a unique identifier becomes mandatory. Any researcher can register with ORCID and receive a unique ID for life for free. CrossMark is an update system for checking the final version of a paper as there may be errata, corrigenda, retractions, or other changes. Readers can determine whether the paper that they are viewing is the final version or not by clicking on the CrossMark logo. Likewise, FundRef provides a standard method for reporting the funder's name and the grant number for a paper. Once the funding agencies from Korea are registered with FundRef, authors can provide the funder and the grant number information to the publisher. To apply ORCID, CrossMark, and FundRef easily, the production of a Journal Article Tag Suite extensible markup language file is mandatory. Owing to the advanced level of information technology in Korea, it should be possible to apply ORCID, CrossMark, and FundRef at a very reasonable cost. Therefore, now is the time for journal editors to introduce the above mentioned standards to journal publishing.
