Abstract: Technology plays a key role in a country's competitiveness. Traditional analyses of national competitiveness help to understand a country's competitive advantages, but such analyses do not focus on the advantages derived from technology applications. Equally crucial for the survival and growth of a nation's technology are human resources for science and technology (HRST). Therefore, evaluating the HRST of each nation provides key information and is an important topic for research.
