This study compares the publication and patent performance of selected medical research locations in five countries. The bibliometric indicators reveal that mostly the U.S. locations, above all Harvard University, have the highest score in the rankings in terms of quantity and quality of their...

Within this study, we compare the patenting activities by universities and public research institutes in Germany. The crucial problem hereby is that a large share of patent filings from universities is registered by companies and the university staff only appears as an inventor. Therefore,...

It is generally claimed that universities provide the scientific basis for future technological progress. Still, empirical evidence of the impact of direct links between universities and firms remains weak and is often at least inconsistent. This paper aims at contributing to the literature by...
