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

A temporal perspective on repeated ties across university-industry R&D consortia
TL;DR: In this article, two distinct time-utilization strategies of university and industry in 1845 R&D consortia were studied, where industry partners seek to compress time by working on different consortiums in parallel and therefore want to repeat a collaboration early, whereas universities seek to extend time through sequential timing of consortiums.

The Role of Public Policy in Fostering Technology-Based Nascent Entrepreneurship
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the impact of public policy on entrepreneurial activities in general and nascent entrepreneurship in specific, taking the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship and the associated assumption of entrepreneurial opportunities being endogenously induced by knowledge investments as a starting point.

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.
