Reliance on Science in Patenting

  • 1. Boston University

Description

This contains citations from the front pages of worldwide patents to articles in he Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) from 1800-2018. Questions & feedback to support@relianceonscience.org.  If you use the data, please cite these two papers:

  1. for the dataset of citations: Marx, Matt and Aaron Fuegi, "Reliance on Science: Worldwide Front-Page Patent Citations to Scientific Articles" (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3331686). 
  2. for the articles: 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.

The files below are described in _datadescription.pdf but here is a brief summary:

  • _pcs.tsv, contains the patent citations to science. Fields are tab-separated. Each citation to science has the patent number, MAG ID, applicant/examiner indicator, and a confidence score (1-10). 
  • _pcs_pubmed.tsv, is a PubMed-specific match currently limited to USPTO patents.
  • _pcs_bodytextbeta.tsv is a preliminary release also containing citations from the body text of USPTO patents since 1836. This adds a field indicating whether the citation appeared on the front page, in the body text, or in both.

The remaining files redistribute the 1/1/2019 release of the Microsoft Academic Graph, carving up the original files into smaller, variable-specific files. There are also some extensions including journal impact factor and high-level technical classifications.
