“…Nanotechnology encompasses research carried out in multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and engineering (Shapira et al 2011). This multidisciplinary knowledge area provides a good opportunity to observe and scrutinize the emergence of a scientific discipline and especially the dynamic links between science and technology, and between basic and applied science.…”

Nanoscience is an innovation intensive interdisciplinary field, where science and technology are closely related during development. Sweden represents an interesting setting to examine how they are related, because a high fraction of the total Swedish academic patents can be classified as Nanoscience. Combining bibliometric data from Web of Science, patent data from EPO and data from Swedish universities, this paper identifies all authors and all inventors listed on patents who work at universities, within nanotechnology in Sweden. The main question we address is if prominent academic scientists in terms of scientific publications are also the ones who become academic inventors. Publications are examined in terms of published articles and invention in terms of patents. The paper uses a novel semi-parametric technique, namely a conditional regression in a matched sample, in order to isolate the effect of publishing on patenting. The novelty of this paper is that it applies a conditional logistic regression in matches of academic pairs in order to isolate the relationship between patentingpublishing in nanoscience. The empirical results show that academics who both publish and patent have on average more publications as well as more citations. Furthermore, having a higher number of citations can increase the probability of having a patent. Thus, by isolating the effects of publishing on patenting, this paper contributes by demonstrating that scientific prominence, indicated both by number of articles and citations, positively impact the propensity to take patents.

“…Thus, not surprisingly, only few studies explicitly investigate innovation internationalization empirically at the system level (Bartholomew, 1997;Niosi & Bellon, 1994). Attempts to study the interdependences between countries are limited to the developed world and are limited too in terms of technology coverage (Bartholomew, 1997;Shapira, Youtie, & Kay, 2011). Consequently, to our knowledge, none of the studies takes a holistic view of the entire system and accounts for the inter-dependencies and externalities that arise in this system of interactions.…”

Global innovation networks are emerging as a result of the international division of innovation processes through, among others, international technological collaborations. At the aggregate level, the creation of technological collaboration between countries can be considered as mutually beneficial (or detrimental) and their random distribution is unlikely. Consequently, the dynamics and evolution of the technological collaborations can be expected to fulfil the criteria of a complex network. To study the structure and evolution of the global technological collaboration network, we use patent-based data of international co-inventions and apply the network analysis. In addition, extending the gravity model of international technological collaboration by measures controlling for countries position in the network, we show that that a country's position in the network has very strong impact on the intensity of collaboration with other members of the network.

“…National innovation systems perspectives advance the importance of country-level differences in organization and procedure, which help in better understanding the knowledge-based strategies of firms, the linkages of companies within the national system, and the type of commercialization strategies that are developed. Shapira et al (2011) find that national innovation system characteristics are important in the commercialization of nanotechnology.…”
