Title: Testing the science/technology relationship by analysis of patent citations of scientific papers after decomposition of both science and technology,
Abstract: The relationship of scientific knowledge development to technological
development is widely recognized as one of the most important and complex
aspects of technological evolution. This paper adds to our understanding of the
relationship through use of a more rigorous structure for differentiating among
technologies based upon technological domains (defined as consisting of the
artifacts over time that fulfill a specific generic function using a specific
body of technical knowledge).
