Knowledge formation of MPEG: Analysis using bibliographic clustering of citation networks

Several related studies have been conducted owing to the rapid development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and bibliographic data infrastructure. [10][11] The main research subject of such promising study is the relationship between patents and academic papers. Scholars call this knowledge flow “science linkage.” Academic papers are important results of scientific research and are the source from which new technologies can be developed and applied to various fields. [12][13] According to recent studies, standardization has both positive and negative influences on the production of patents and S This study focused on the knowledge formation of an image-digitizing technology (MPEG). Based on the observed result, we propose the scenario for the knowledge creation including standardization. We firstly demonstrate how standardization changes the science linkage between patents and academic articles. Secondly, we discuss the relevance of the bibliographic clustering method (BCCN) for this analysis. Finally, the differences in knowledge creation related to standardization among countries are discussed.
