TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a systematic review of research on academic scientists' involvement in collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university-industry knowledge transfer, which they refer as academic engagement.Abstract:
A considerable body of work highlights the relevance of collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university-industry knowledge transfer. We present a systematic review of research on academic scientists’ involvement in these activities to which we refer as ‘academic engagement’. Apart from extracting findings that are generalisable across studies, we ask how academic engagement differs from commercialization, defined as intellectual property creation and academic entrepreneurship. We identify the individual, organizational and institutional antecedents and consequences of academic engagement, and then compare these findings with the antecedents and consequences of commercialization. Apart from being more widely practiced, academic engagement is distinct from commercialization in that it is closely aligned with traditional academic research activities, and pursued by academics to access resources supporting their research agendas. We conclude by identifying future research needs, opportunities for methodological improvement and policy interventions. (Published version available via open access)read more

Beyond bean counting : using patent information to investigate inventive productivity in academia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of available patent information for measuring inventive productivity in academia and found that existing patent information, when analysed longitudinally, can be used to construct more representative measures of inventive productivity compared with single-period patent counts.

What makes the difference? Analysing the regional component of the influence of university's structural configuration on its performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by four elements of the universities' structural configuration, namely steering core, administrative machinery, internal coupling and academic heartland, affect institutional performance in two university models: the entrepreneurial university and the regional innovation system university model.

The Matthew effect in science. The reward and communication systems of science are considered.
TL;DR: The psychosocial conditions and mechanisms underlying the Matthew effect are examined and a correlation between the redundancy function of multiple discoveries and the focalizing function of eminent men of science is found—a function which is reinforced by the great value these men place upon finding basic problems and by their self-assurance.
