Intensity of citation of scientific publications in inventions on information and computer technologies patented in Russia by domestic and foreign applicants

The paper discusses the information relationship between science and technology and the methods for indicator assessment of transfer processes (transfer) of knowledge from different fields of research in the area of technological development. The proposed methods are designed to determine the values of the indicator of intensity of citation of scientific papers in the descriptions of the inventions patented in Russia by domestic and foreign applicants. A similar approach can be used to obtain indirect estimates of innovation potential of scientific research. The indicator values of intensity were calculated both in general and with the distribution by country of applicants. The paper presents the results of determining the values of the indicator. Full-text descriptions of inventions on class G06 of the International Patent Classification (Data Processing; Computing; Score) published by Rospatent in 2000–2012 were used as the source of information. The use of information resources of Rospatent was due to the fact that they are in the electronic form, i. e., available for automated processing. The result is the values of the indicator of intensity of citation of scientific works patented in the Russian Federation, divided into groups of domestic, foreign, and joint inventions. This specification allowed to estimate the activity of international technological cooperation and joint patenting in information and computer technologies (ICT) in Russia, as well as to determine the themes of cooperation in this area.
