The role of European universities in patenting and innovation A study of academic inventions at the EPO - October 2024 The contribution of academic researchers to European patent applications has increased steadily in recent decades, and now exceeds 10% of all patents filed by European applicants at the EPO. The stronger emphasis put on patent commercialisation highlights in particular the strategic importance of the functions performed by Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs) across a wide variety of universities. Some of them have long-established KTOs managing large patent portfolios in advanced scientific fields. These top-tier universities already achieve significant impact via technology transfers, as evidenced by their revenues from IP or the numbers of European startups benefiting of their inventions. Here is the file for key finding of the report. To access full report refer to - https://lnkd.in/dm4dhNFa

New Publication in BISE: Open Science – Towards Greater Transparency and Openness in Science    The Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) journal has published a new discussion article titled “Open Science”. Open Science is a movement for greater transparency and openness in science, which is increasingly having an impact on everyday scientific work and life in all scientific disciplines. With this BISE discussion we hope to stimulate a fruitful debate and intensify an exchange within the BISE community on the increasingly important topic of Open Science.    https://lnkd.in/efdVCqz9

The latest Student Spotlight from CSAIL Alliances features Yung-Sung Chuang, a 3rd-year PhD student advised by Jim Glass. His research aims to reduce or even eliminate hallucinations in LLM-generated text, which would greatly enhance the deployment of these models in real-world applications.

Today with Carlos Rodríguez del Río , Embase Product Manager, at Elsevier during the training session in The Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT). The session was introduced by Elsevier Representatives. The primary objective is to emphasize the importance of systematic reviews in research, educate on best practices and methodologies, address common challenges researchers face, and offer practical advice for conducting systematic reviews efficiently. #Elsevier #ASRT #EDA #systematic_reviews

WEEKEND READ | Increasing the supply of affordable rental housing is one option to help alleviate Australia’s housing crisis. Peyman Jafary (one of our PhD students) has developed a model to help identify areas most suitable to construct apartment/unit buildings, which he tested on the Melbourne Metropolitan area. Leveraging a hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Machine Learning (GA-ML) framework, Peyman and his co-authors ranked Melbourne’s 105 suburbs, based on key parameters for builders/investors and renters: • Maximising economic outlook and rental yields for builders/investors • Minimising rents and commuting distance for renters • Maximising proximity to essential amenities for renters. The suburbs most suitable for development included Brunswick, Coburg, Preston and Reservoir. Peyman recently presented the model and findings at the ISPRS - International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing – Commission IV Symposium 2024 in Perth, where he received the Best Younger Researcher Award Honorary Mention. Congratulations Peyman! His paper is called: Data-driven Strategies for Affordable Housing: A Hybrid General Algorithm-Machine Learning Optimization Model in the Melbourne Metropolitan Area.

A newly published UofG Case Study on the DORA web pages -- The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) asks us to improve the ways in which the output of research is evaluated. UofG have signed the declaration, and this means we have committed to working on: ✴ Broadening scope of what we recognise as an 'output' (much more than books and articles: datasets, methods, codes, software, policy, patent, toolkits and people!); ✴ Broadening what we perceive to be 'quality' (removing reference to Impact Factor as a proxy for quality); and, ✴ Making sure all types of knowledge and contribution to outputs are recognised and valued (giving credit where it's due). If you'd like to read about where UofG are at right now on this journey, take a look at the case study.   https://lnkd.in/eMXJXQwD  #ResearchCulture #recognition #ResearchAssessment #DORA #evaluation

This week's paper by Michael Park and colleagues states that despite the exponential increase in scientific knowledge, papers and patents are progressively less disruptive. The authors support this assertion using data from 45 million papers and 3.9 million patents, sourced from six extensive datasets. They introduce a novel quantitative measure, the CD index, to assess how papers and patents influence citation networks within science and technology domains. According to their findings, the CD index has been decreasing over time for both papers and patents. Here's the paper: https://buff.ly/3Vp9w2Z
