Description
Understanding the innovation landscape, and tracing how novel or emerging ideas become applied elsewhere in science or in a technological innovation that is then commercialized, is a complex challenge. We gather hundreds of millions of scientific articles and patents from 197 countries and in 165 languages, extract 6 billion links connecting them via citations and text similarity, and use the resulting corpus to generate a Map of Science and a Map of Patents. The resulting maps reflect research and innovation clusters, extracted in an emergent rather than a prescriptive manner. In this way, we can trace through the impact of basic research or federal funding, and isolate new areas that are likely to experience extreme growth.
