本文比较了科学出版物和专利文献的引文网络结构，并讨论了它们之间的差异。在太阳能电池中进行了一项案例研究，以制定一种检测科学与技术之间差距的方法。科学研究往往更加基础，特别是在电池设计方面，而专利则侧重于太阳能电池组件中使用的更多应用技术。在科学出版物的主要引用集群中，只有两个，即硅和复合太阳能电池，与专利集群在语义上相对应。相反，没有与其他两个科学研究前沿，即染料敏化和聚合物太阳能电池相对应的专利集群。这些研究领域可被视为工业商业化的机会，因为存在科学活动，但没有技术应用。我们的研究结果可以为发现工业商业化的潜在机会提供知识基础。(C)2010年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
In this paper, we compared structures of the citation network of scientific publications with those of patents, and discussed the differences between them. A case study was performed in a solar cell to develop a method of detecting gaps between science and technology. Scientific research has tended to be more basic, especially in terms of cell design, whereas patents have focused on more applied technology used in solar cell modules. Of the major citation clusters of scientific publications, only two, namely silicon and compound solar cells, corresponded semantically with patent clusters. Conversely, there were no patent clusters corresponding to the other two scientific research fronts, namely dye-sensitized and polymer solar cells. These research areas could be regarded as opportunities for industrial commercialization because scientific activities exist but not technological applications. Our results could offer an intellectual basis for discovering potential opportunities for industrial commercialization. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
