Bibliometrics and scientometrics in India: An overview of studies during 1995-2014Part II: Contents of the articles in terms of disciplines and their bibliometric aspects

This part of the study highlights the contents of the published articles in terms of various disciplines or sub-disciplines and the bibliometric aspects discussed in these articles. The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals. Papers dealing with bibliometric laws received a low priority as compared to other subdisciplines of bibliometrics/scientometrics. The analysis of data indicates that the share of theoretical studies using mathematical and statistical techniques which were missing in the earlier period (1970-1994) has increased during 1995-2014. The field of medicine as a discipline received the highest attention as compared to other disciplines

As quatro revistas que estão no ranking dos periódicos mais utilizados para a publicação dos artigos científicos produzidos pelos pesquisadores coativos e, também, no núcleo das revistas que mais obtiveram citações nas patentes depositadas são: Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, Química Nova, International Journal of Pharmaceutics e European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics. Os indicadores de ligação demonstraram que há uma forte ligação entre a UFRGS e as empresas nos depósitos de patentes, sendo a Biolab e a Braskem as empresas com maior colaboração, com 6 patentes cada. Nas colaborações identificadas nas publicações de artigos, as universidades foram as que mais formaram parcerias, sendo identificada a colaboração com mais 52 países, além do Brasil. Identificou-se 5.345 assuntos nos 2.998 artigos analisados e 892 CIPs nas 206 patentes analisadas, de acordo com as categorias de Glänzel e Schubert (2003), perfazendo 0,967 de coeficiente de correlação dos assuntos e 93,62% de coeficiente de determinação. Conclui-se que é possível estabelecer relações entre C&T, utilizando indicadores cientométricos e bibliométricos nas análises integradas das produções tecnológicas e científicas.The present study investigates the overview of the technological production and scientific production in the Chemistry area, based on patents and articles of the coactive researchers that are part of four graduate programs of the Institute of Chemistry (IQ) at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). It is a descriptive research, using statistical and patentometric methods, as well as bibliometric indicators of production, citation and linking, to verify the interaction between 206 patents and 2,998 articles indexed and collected in Derwent Innovations Index and Web of Science, respectively, of the 68 coactive researchers linked to four PPGs of the IQ at UFRGS: PPGQ, PPGMicro, PPGCiMat and PPGNanoFarma. About the technological production, it was found that the average number of patents per coactive researcher was: 6.42 for PPGNanoFarma, 4.5 for PPGCiMat, 3.68 for PPGQ and 3.63 for PPGMicro. In relation to the average of articles published by the coactive researchers, 81 were obtained for PPGCiMat, 70 for PPGNanoFarma, 58 for PPGQ and 46 for PPGMicro. It was observed that the two most productive coactive researchers in patents are also the most productive in scientific articles. In addition, it has been observed that there is a balance between the scientific and technological productions of the nine most productive coactive researchers. The number of depositors found in the patents was 104, of which 53 were legal entities (universities, research institutions and companies) — classified by Educational Institutions and Public Research Institutes and Private Research Institutes and Companies and 51 of them, individuals. In relation to the 25 main legal entities identified, 13 universities, 10 companies and 2 research institutions. Of the 25 main partner institutions of UFRGS in articles publications, there are 23 universities, 1 company and 1 research institution. It is observed that there was an increase in the concentration of patent deposits and publications of articles from 2006 (15 patents and 127 articles), falling in the years 2014-2016 (17, 8 and 3 patents, respectively) and 2015-2017 (187, 175 and 139 articles). With regard to the International Patent Classification (IPC), it has been found that patents are classified into 5 major sections (A, B, C, G and H), where the main classification is A61K (Preparations for medical, dental, or hygienic) with 33.49% of the patents. Regarding the subjects of the articles, we highlight Physics and Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Chemistry and Multidisciplinary Materials Science, totaling 1,244 articles. In the offices and registers of priority patents, there were Brazilian, American, OMPI, French, Australian and German. Regarding the citation indicators, it was observed that the number of patents cited by examiners and inventors was 602 and 1017 patents; in relation to the non-patent literature (NPL), in the form of scientific articles, it was cited 90 by the examiners and 1,278 by the inventors of the patents. The four journals that rank among the most used periodicals for the publication of the scientific articles produced by the coactive researchers, and also in the nuclei of the journals that have obtained the most quotations in the deposited patents, are Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, Química Nova, International Journal of Pharmaceutics and European Journal of Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceutics. The linkage indicators showed that there is a strong link between UFRGS and the companies in the patent deposits — Biolab and Braskem being the most collaborating companies, with 6 patents each. Among the collaborations identified in the article publications, the universities were the ones that formed the most partnerships, being identified the collaboration with 52 other countries besides Brazil. A total of 5,345 subjects were identified in the 2,998 papers analyzed and 892 CIPs in the 206 patents analyzed, according to the categories of Glänzel and Schubert (2003), with a correlation coefficient of 0.967 and a coefficient of determination of 93.62%. It is concluded that it is possible to establish relationships between Science & Technology (S&T), using scientometric and bibliometric indicators in integrated analyzes of technological and scientific productions

Characterizing Intellectual Spaces between Science and Technology

The paper presents a methodology for studying the interactions between science and technology. Our approach rests mostly on patent citation and co-word analysis. In particular, this study aims to delineate intellectual spaces in thin-film technology in terms of science/technology interaction. The universe of thin-film patents can be viewed as the macro-level and starting point of our analysis. Applying a bottom-up approach, intellectual spaces at the micro-level are defined by tracing prominent concepts in publications, patents, and their citations of scientific literature. In another step, co-word analysis is used to generate meso-level topics and sub-topics. Overlapping structures and specificities that emerge are explored in the light of theoretical understanding of science-technology interactions. In particular, one can distinguish prominent concepts among patent citations that either co-occur in both thin-film publications and patents or reach out to one of the two sides. Future research may address the question to what extent one can interpret directionality into this
