Description

This dataset contains both front-page and in-text citations from patents to scientific articles, as well as patent paper pairs, through 2021.  If you use the data, please cite these two articles:

1. M. Marx & A. Fuegi, "Reliance on Science by Inventors: Hybrid Extraction of In-text Patent-to-Article Citations."  forthcoming in Journal of Economics and Management Strategy. (http://doi.org/10.1111/jems.12455)

2. M. Marx, & A. Fuegi, "Reliance on Science: Worldwide Front-Page Patent Citations to Scientific Articles" (2020), Strategic Management Journal 41(9):1572-1594. (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/smj.3145

 

The datafile containing the citations is _pcs_mag_doi_pmid.tsv. DOIs and PMIDs provided where available. Each citation has the applicant/examiner flag, confidence score (1-10), and whether the reference was a) only on the front page, b) only in the body text, or c) in both. Each paper-patent citation also includes the temporal gap and three related measures of self-citation (i.e., was one or more of the inventors on the citing patent also an author on the cited paper). _reliance_on_science.pdf has full details. bodytextknowngood.tsv contains the known-good references for calculating recall.

The datafile containing the patent-paper pairs (PPPs) is _patent_paper_pairs.tsv. These are USPTO only. Each PPP has a confidence score, the count of days between the publication of the paper and the filing of the patent. (If the patent is a continuation of another patent, the filing date of the original patent is used.) Also, when a paper is paired with multiple patents, an indicator variable reports whether those patents are continuations or otherwise identical. 

The remaining files redistribute much of the *final* edition of the Microsoft Academic Graph (12/20/2021). Please also cite Sinha, A, et al. 2015. Overview of Microsoft Academic Service (MAS) and Applications. In Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on World Wide Web (WWW ’15 Companion). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 243-246.
