“…Firstly, advances in research infrastructures and changes in national S&T policies, including limited finance for public R&D and the growing importance of evaluation of research, over the past decade have contributed to fuel the general increase of scientific publications (TIJSSEN & VAN LEEUWEN, 2003). Secondly, fuel cells have become a priority in public budgets devoted to energy R&D in many industrialized countries during the nineties such as the United States (US DOE, 2003;AVADIKYAN & LARRUE, 2003), Canada (AMESSE et al, 2003), Japan (SHIRAI, 2000;MEAKIN & NORTON, 2001;AVADIKYAN & HARAYAMA, 2003;MEAKIN, 2003) and within the framework of international programs (EC, 2003b;MARKANTONATOS, 2003). Increasing public Scientometrics 62 (2005) resources dedicated to fuel cells R&D in these countries have certainly stimulated the growth in scientific publications and to a lesser extent EPO patent applications in the field over the past recent years.…”

Recognizing the critical role played by science and technology in the development of fuel cells, this article aims to characterize the evolution of the S&T knowledge bases of fuel cells over the nineties, using data on patents and scientific publications. The field of fuel cells is particularly heterogeneous. It covers diverse sub-fields that are marked by idiosyncratic characteristics (e.g. actors, demand, and input) and different historical developments. Although this heterogeneity of the field of fuel cells is reflected in the dynamics of S&T knowledge generation within and across its sub-fields too, this article shows that it does not entail the absence of cognitive interrelations between their S&T knowledge bases. For that purpose, the article uses "simultaneous mapping" approach of their S&T knowledge bases by means of textual analysis.
