Five indexes of claims of intellectual and industrial property: Technology Readiness Levels, articles, reviews, and patents.
- 1. UFBA
- 2. ICIDCA
- 3. UFSB
Description
The five indexes presented in this document are designed to monitor the basic relationships between the main forms of intellectual and industrial property.
In review articles (R), the main contribution is critical analysis of previously published studies, and in research articles (A), ideas published for the first time. The scientometrics of the relative importance between the three main research modalities A, R and patents (P) can give rise to important inferences regarding the maturity and fertility of a given technological route, considering its Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).
The emergence of bibliometrics/scientometrics efforts is not common in the early stages of TRL; presupposes accumulation of knowledge, experiments, technical reports. A significant accumulation or wide spatial dispersion of publications, in the A and/or P form, often indicate the need for R specific, as well as can indicate undesirable imbalances between claims of intellectual and industrial property rights, inspiring analysis and decision-making in science and technology policies.
