Patent and Publication Activities of German Professors: An Empirical Assessment of Their Co-Activity (2007, background): “Most recently Meyer (2006) analyzed the publishing and patenting activity of scientists active in nano-science and nano-technology, which he refers to as co-activity.”
Industry Funding of University Research and Scientific Productivity (2011, unknown): “Numerous studies, however, find a positive correlation between academic patenting and journal publications suggesting that publishing and patenting are complementary as research outcomes may be disclosed through both mechanisms (Ducor 2000; Agrawal and Henderson 2002; Mowery et al. 2001; Azoulay et ”
Commercializing the laboratory: Faculty patenting and the open science environment (2008, result): “…in our sample are more prolific in terms of annual publications, to the order of 25–70% more publications, than their non-inventor colleagues, consistent with the results of Meyer (2006).25 These pooled results suggest that there are some consistent differences across faculty members in the sample.”
Heterogeneity of Patenting Activity and Its Implications for Scientific Research (2007, background): “Meyer (2006b) argues that citation linkages hardly present a direct link between cited paper and citing patent.”
Triple Helix Systems: An Analytical Framework for Innovation Policy and Practice in the Knowledge Society (2013, background): “…universities increasingly generate and transfer technology, especially in areas such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, ICT or medical technologies (for INDUSTRY & HIGHER EDUCATION August 2013244 example, Cooke, 2004; Meyer, 2006; Van Looy et al, 2007; Wong, 2007; Lawton Smith and Bagchi-Sen, 2010).”
Breaking the Ivory Tower: Academic Entrepreneurship in the Life Sciences in UK and Germany (2011, background): “For example, Meyer (2006) demonstrates that individuals who patent in the UK, Germany, and Belgium account for 2% or less of the nano-science publishing communities.”
