In this paper we investigate - on a country level - the relationship between the science intensity of patents and technological productivity, taking into account differences in terms of scientific productivity. The number of non patent references in patents is considered as an approximation of...

In this study we conduct a thorough assessment of the LSA text mining method and its options (preprocessing, weighting, …) to grasp similarities between patent documents and scientific publications to develop a new method to detect direct science-technology linkages - as this is instrumental...

In this study, we examine and validate the use of existing text mining techniques (based on the vector space model and latent semantic indexing) to detect similarities between patent documents and scientific publications. Clearly, experts involved in domain studies would benefit from techniques...

Patent documents are one of the most comprehensive data sources on technology development. As such, they provide a unique source of information to analyze and monitor technological performance. Patent indicators are now used by companies and by policy and government agencies alike to assess...
