National Policy Statements (NPS) are a key component of the new planning system for nationally significant infrastructure projects, introduced by the Planning Act 2008. The Act stipulates that a proposal for a National Policy Statement will be subject to public consultation and allows for parliamentary scrutiny before designation as national policy by the Secretary of State. The draft Ports National Policy Statement (Department for Transport, 2009) has been welcomed by many organisations as a good start which can be built upon. The Committee has recommended a number of modifications and expects the Department will improve the draft as a result of the consultation and scrutiny processes. The Committee has reservations regarding the Government's 2007 policy for ports and the lack of guidance on location for port development in the NPS but this, of itself, does not make the NPS unfit for purpose. But the Committee cannot recommend designation at this stage on two counts. Firstly, a key, related policy statement - the National Networks NPS - has yet to be published. Secondly, the organisation likely to be one of the principal decision-makers for port development - the Marine Management Organisation - has yet to be established and so has been unable to comment on guidance that will be of great importance to its role. These are fundamental flaws in the consultation process and the Ports NPS should not be designated until they are rectified.

This is the 2nd edition of my eBook "10 Essential Skills for Public Servants: A Handbook" which I wrote in 2015 and was published by the Amazon. It got a very good response from the readers for its comprehensive treatment of the subject in an objective and easy to understand and remember the style. At the same time, I also got a lot of advice from different corners of the world after its availability in French, Spanish and Portuguese languages. It prompted me to thoroughly revise it and publish its updated version. Being a public servant is an honour and a privilege on the one hand but a great responsibility on the other. Faithful discharge of your duties demands you to be very effective in service delivery, efficient in execution and honest in your public dealing. This, in turn, requires a public servant to be an emotionally stable person, a strategic planner and a very skillful executive, knowledgeable, about the skills essential for performing the above role. And this Handbook is all about those skills which I considered essential for making you an emotionally stable person, a strategic planner and a very skillful executive. Fortunately, all these skills can be learned and are not inherited. It only demands wholehearted commitment and dedicated efforts to learn them. We can go through these 10 lessons in one go or these could be staggered over a period. Refer to them off and on throughout your career until they become your habits. The synergistic effect of all these skills will make you excel because the human brain has a tremendous capacity to learn new skills and habits. Firm determination through repeated practice builds the necessary pathways in a mind, needed to make them into habits.

This handbook presents the state of the art of quantitative methods and models to understand and assess the science and technology system. Focusing on various aspects of the development and application of indicators derived from data on scholarly publications, patents and electronic communications, the individual chapters, written by leading experts, discuss theoretical and methodological issues, illustrate applications, highlight their policy context and relevance, and point to future research directions. A substantial portion of the book is dedicated to detailed descriptions and analyses of data sources, presenting both traditional and advanced approaches. It addresses the main bibliographic metrics and indexes, such as the journal impact factor and the h-index, as well as altmetric and webometric indicators and science mapping techniques on different levels of aggregation and in the context of their value for the assessment of research performance as well as their impact on research policy and society. It also presents and critically discusses various national research evaluation systems. Complementing the sections reflecting on the science system, the technology section includes multiple chapters that explain different aspects of patent statistics, patent classification and database search methods to retrieve patent-related information. In addition, it examines the relevance of trademarks and standards as additional technological indicators. The Springer Handbook of Science and Technology Indicators is an invaluable resource for practitioners, scientists and policy makers wanting a systematic and thorough analysis of the potential and limitations of the various approaches to assess research and research performance.
