Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the possible link between industrial technology development and scientific research, with specific focus on the development of industrial technology influences the inventor-authors' performance on scientific research. In this study, patenting activity was seen as representation of output of industrial technology; advised theses, funded research projects and journal articles were used as indicators of scientific research outcome. The author tried to examine the patents granted to and research output generated by members affiliated with Taiwanese Universities to reveal the productivity distribution and research performances of inventor-authors and non-patenting peers by taking bibliometrics approach. Patenting Activity Index and Academic Activity Index were used for presenting research output. Results showed that Inventor-authors performed above average both in technology development and research activities. However, it is worth a closer look at the impact of collaboration and research strategies for future researches.

发明人-作者与非专利同行科研生产力和影响力的探索性比较研究

本研究的目的是探讨工业技术发展与科学研究之间可能存在的联系，特别关注工业技术的发展对发明人-作者的科学研究绩效的影响。在本研究中，专利活动被视为工业技术产出的代表;以指导论文、资助研究项目和期刊论文作为科研成果的指标。本研究以台湾大学成员的专利授权与研究产出为研究对象，运用文献计量学方法，探讨台湾大学成员的生产力分布与研究绩效。采用专利活动指数和学术活动指数表示研究成果。结果表明，发明人-作者在技术开发和研究活动方面的表现均高于平均水平。然而，合作和研究策略对未来研究的影响值得进一步研究。
