Abstract

Abstract Patents with non-patent literature (NPL) references indicate how the link between science and technology interact. Using topic modeling, this paper investigated the thematic relationship between patents and their cited articles in the field of Nanotechnology. For this purpose, patents in the field of nanotechnology (IPC Class: B82) were obtained from the United States Patent and Trademark Office from 1985 to 2019. Then, NPL references listed in “Other References” section of the patents was extracted and abstract of the NPL references was retrieved from Scopus database. R software, topic modeling, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm were used to analyze the data. Results showed that most of the subclasses in Nanotechnology use few NPL references and are more dependent on patents. In total, NPL references account for only 36% of patent citations. The topics of the NPL references in this field (nanotechnology) belonged to six categories: Physics, Electricity, Chemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Medicine, and Nanotechnology. Consequently, it seems that nanotechnology patents are more technology-driven, and a medium to low relationship exists between science and nanotechnology. The topic modeling of NPL references uncovered that nanotechnology patents have been more influenced by non-nano scientific.

文章在科技关系中的作用:非专利文献参考文献的主题分析

摘要专利的非专利文献引用表明了科学与技术之间的相互作用。采用主题建模的方法，对纳米技术领域专利及其被引文章之间的主题关系进行了研究。为此，从1985年到2019年，从美国专利商标局获得了纳米技术领域的专利(IPC分类:B82)。然后提取专利“Other references”部分列出的NPL参考文献，并从Scopus数据库中检索NPL参考文献摘要。采用R软件、主题建模和Latent Dirichlet Allocation算法对数据进行分析。结果表明，纳米技术中的大多数子类使用的NPL文献很少，并且更多地依赖于专利。总的来说，NPL引用仅占专利引用的36%。NPL在这一领域(纳米技术)的参考文献的主题分为六类:物理学、电学、化学、细胞和分子生物学、医学和纳米技术。因此，纳米技术专利似乎更多地是技术驱动的，科学与纳米技术之间存在中低关系。NPL文献的主题建模发现，纳米技术专利受到非纳米科学的影响更大。

期刊介绍： Serials Review, issued quarterly, is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal for the international serials community. Articles focus on serials in the broadest sense of the term and cover all aspects of serials information; regular columns feature interviews, exchanges on controversial topics, book reviews, and conference reports. The journal encompasses practical, theoretical, and visionary ideas for librarians, publishers, vendors, and anyone interested in the changing nature of serials. Serials Review covers all aspects of serials management: format considerations, publishing models, statistical studies, collection analysis, collaborative efforts, reference and access issues, cataloging and acquisitions, people who have shaped the serials community, and topical bibliographic studies.
