Funding sources and breast cancer research frame.
This study aims to analyze the formation of the frame of breast cancer research. To test our hypothesis that the research frame depends on the funding sources, we collected the abstracts of 48,448 breast cancer research papers from PubMed and applied structural topic modeling, word network analysis,...

| description | This study aims to analyze the formation of the frame of breast cancer research. To test our hypothesis that the research frame depends on the funding sources, we collected the abstracts of 48,448 breast cancer research papers from PubMed and applied structural topic modeling, word network analysis, and LASSO logistic regression to the data. In particular, we analyzed the relationship between funding sources and the molecularization of breast cancer knowledge. The results show that government-funded research is likely to have molecular objects or population as the unit of interest, whereas the research not funded by the government is likely to have individual patients as the unit of interest in relation to specific treatments. This phenomenon is attributed to the different interests of government institutions and the private sector. This study improves our understanding of molecularization and medical knowledge production. |
