“…Patents, as the main exponent of technological development, contain very valuable information that is used by researchers and analysts to obtain data such as the evolution of a technology over time, the inference of institutions and companies in the development of a technological sector, the relationships between technologies, or possible future trends. However, the importance of patents is also projected in the academic-scientific field, because these documents are important indicators of scientific productivity in universities and research centres; they are mechanisms that measure the performance of scientific activity from technology transfer [1]. In the same way, the presence of scientific references in patents, and their quantification and analysis, are excellent indicators to describe this science-technology link, being key to analyse this process of technology transfer.…”

Definition: Non-patent literature is defined as scientific publications, technical standards, conference proceedings, clinical trials, books, manuals, technical or research reports, or any other technical scientific material which is cited in patents to show what has already been published and disseminated about the invention to be patented, in order to justify its novelty. These documents are considered technically relevant to the patent granting procedure and are cited along with other patents related to the same subject matter [...]

Cómo citar este artículo/Citation: Azagra Caro, J. M. (2015). Acceso al conocimiento público universitario en España: patrones geográficos. Revista Española de Documentación Científica, 38(1): e074. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/redc.2015.1.1124Resumen: Las referencias bibliográficas contenidas en los documentos de patente son una fuente de información sobre el acceso al conocimiento público con que se justifica o ataca la novedad de la invención. En vez de la distinción habitual entre referencias por tipo de literatura citada, se aborda otra más original, por tipo de institución citada, y se pone el acento en las universidades. El acceso al conocimiento público universitario en España comparte tendencias europeas: está altamente internacionalizado y se accede sobre todo a universidades estadounidenses. Presenta algunas idiosincrasias, como el acceso relativamente infrecuente al Instituto Tecnológico de Massachussets; y la elevada frecuencia de citas a universidades holandesas e israelíes. Además, se accede a universidades de la propia región mucho más que en otros estados miembros (sobre todo en comunidades distintas de Madrid). Respecto al acceso de otros países de la UE27, Alemania cita relativamente poco a las universidades españolas y la única citada por encima de la media europea es la Autónoma de Madrid. Se ofrece a los gestores de política algunas recomendaciones para influir sobre alguna de estas características de acuerdo con ciertos criterios de deseabilidad.Palabras clave: Flujos de conocimiento; vínculos universidad-tecnología; patentes; citas. Spanish access to universities' public knowledge: geographical patternsAbstract: References in patent documents are information sources about access to public knowledge, on which the invention's novelty, or lack thereof, can be justified. Usually references are broken down by type of cited literature, but we do it in a more original way: by type of cited institution. We focus on universities and compare Spain with the European Union 27 at national, regional and institutional levels. Access to public knowledge in Spain is similar to the overall European trends: highly internationalised with American universities being the most accessed. But Spain presents some idiosyncrasies: infrequent access to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and frequent access to Dutch and Israeli universities. Also access to universities from the same region occurs more often than in other Member States (especially in regions other than Madrid). In reference to the situation in other EU members, access to Spanish universities from Germany is relatively low and the only university with citations above the European average is the Autonomous University of Madrid. We offer policymakers some recommendations for modifying these characteristics according to certain desirability criteria.

Objective. We analyzed the research output of Chilean universities with the primary objective of guiding leadership teams in formulating and prioritizing their strategic goals. Design/Methodology/Approach. The research was descriptive and documentary in nature, involving a systematic, comprehensive, transparent, and detailed review of articles published in various indexed scientific journals. Between 2008 and 2022, we searched the Scopus database at each institution to obtain information on its scientific production. Results/Discussion. We have demonstrated the presence of a select group of universities with exceptionally high levels of scientific productivity, as indicated by significant performance metrics. The analysis of university productivity shows that, in absolute terms, the most outstanding institutions are the Universidad de La Frontera, the Universidad de Tarapacá, and the Universidad de Chile. This study highlights the efficiency and performance of these academic institutions in terms of their scientific output. Only 12 institutions manage to exceed the national average in terms of productivity, while 19 universities perform at an alarmingly low level. Conclusion. This research provides valuable insights into institutions that achieve commendable results but remain underrepresented in rankings due to their smaller size. It underscores the importance of valuing outcomes over raw numbers, providing a more nuanced understanding of scientific productivity.
