Evaluation of the industrial relevance of public research institutions
Since science policy decision-makers have emphasized the industrial relevance of public research institutions, new indicators have been developed. This paper compares these indicators to determine their quality, validity, reliance, and exhaustivity. Above all, it is aimed at checking out the strength and weakness of bibliometric indicators as tools for assessing industrial relevance, compared to other indicators. Data is derived from the four most used data sources in public research evaluation: publications, patents, university-industry contracts, and questionnaires. It measures the industrial relevance of Canadian academic research in metals and alloys. No databases offer the possibility of covering the whole range of possible interactions between public institutions and industry; multiindicators are therefore needed.
