Tracking direct and indirect impact on technology and policy of transformative research via ego citation network
Purpose The disseminating of academic knowledge to nonacademic audiences partly relies on the transition of subsequent citing papers. This study aims to investigate direct and indirect impact on technology and policy originating from transformative research based on ego citation network. Design/methodology/approach Key Nobel Prize-winning publications (NPs) in fields of gene engineering and astrophysics are regarded as a proxy for transformative research. In this contribution, we introduce a network-structural indicator of citing patents to measure technological impact of a target article and use policy citations as a preliminary tool for policy impact. Findings The results show that the impact on technology and policy of NPs are higher than that of their subsequent citation generations in gene engineering but not in astrophysics. Research limitations The selection of Nobel Prizes is not balanced and the database used in this study, Dimensions, suffers from incompleteness and inaccuracy of citation links. Practical implications Our findings provide useful clues to better understand the characteristics of transformative research in technological and policy impact. Originality/value This study proposes a new framework to explore the direct and indirect impact on technology and policy originating from transformative research.
期刊介绍:
JDIS devotes itself to the study and application of the theories, methods, techniques, services, infrastructural facilities using big data to support knowledge discovery for decision & policy making. The basic emphasis is big data-based, analytics centered, knowledge discovery driven, and decision making supporting. The special effort is on the knowledge discovery to detect and predict structures, trends, behaviors, relations, evolutions and disruptions in research, innovation, business, politics, security, media and communications, and social development, where the big data may include metadata or full content data, text or non-textural data, structured or non-structural data, domain specific or cross-domain data, and dynamic or interactive data.
The main areas of interest are:
(1) New theories, methods, and techniques of big data based data mining, knowledge discovery, and informatics, including but not limited to scientometrics, communication analysis, social network analysis, tech & industry analysis, competitive intelligence, knowledge mapping, evidence based policy analysis, and predictive analysis.
(2) New methods, architectures, and facilities to develop or improve knowledge infrastructure capable to support knowledge organization and sophisticated analytics, including but not limited to ontology construction, knowledge organization, semantic linked data, knowledge integration and fusion, semantic retrieval, domain specific knowledge infrastructure, and semantic sciences.
(3) New mechanisms, methods, and tools to embed knowledge analytics and knowledge discovery into actual operation, service, or managerial processes, including but not limited to knowledge assisted scientific discovery, data mining driven intelligent workflows in learning, communications, and management.
Specific topic areas may include:
Knowledge organization
Knowledge discovery and data mining
Knowledge integration and fusion
Semantic Web metrics
Scientometrics
Analytic and diagnostic informetrics
Competitive intelligence
Predictive analysis
Social network analysis and metrics
Semantic and interactively analytic retrieval
Evidence-based policy analysis
Intelligent knowledge production
Knowledge-driven workflow management and decision-making
Knowledge-driven collaboration and its management
Domain knowledge infrastructure with knowledge fusion and analytics
Development of data and information services
