The Corporation Patterns of Firms'Published Scientific Papers and the Impacts on Technological Innovation
The collaboration pattern of 464 Chinese firms is analyzed by investigating their 45486 Chinese papers published in the Chinese Science Citation Database(CSCD)in five fields of engineering,agriculture,energy,environment,and medi-cine from 2012-2021.A three-level classification system was proposed for the firms'collaboration pattern.The paper proposes a method for evaluating the impacts of firms'basic research on technological innovation from the perspective of knowledge transfer.It shows that the effectiveness of knowledge transfer in the fields of engineering and energy is better than that of papers published in the fields of agriculture,medicine,and environment;the effectiveness of knowledge transfer in firms'independent research is better than that of papers published in the form of industry-academia,industry-government and industry-government-academia cooperation;the effectiveness of knowledge transfer in the form of cooperation between firms and universities is better than that of papers published in the form of cooperation with research institutes,and the effec-tiveness of knowledge transfer in the form of binary cooperation in basic research is better than that in the form of multiple cooperation.
