“…A problem with the Balassa RCA is the asymmetry of its value: it varies from one to infi nity for products in which the country has a revealed comparative advantage, but only from zero to one for commodities with a revealed comparative disadvantage. Resulting from Grupp (1994), Dalum et al (1998) proposed a revealed symmetric comparative advantage index (RSCA) to alleviate the skewness problem. Th e closer to {+1} the results of RSCA get, the more signifi cant are the comparative advantages they indicate, while the more they are converging to {-1}, the more substantial are the comparative disadvantages.…”

“…In the 1990's, Grupp was one researcher promoting "technometrics" by investigating correlation between output indicators and different technology specification measurements such as patents and citations [111]. However, Katz and Martin cautioned about using co-authorship citation as a metric to measure collaboration.…”

This research provides performance metrics for cooperative research centers that enhance translational research formed by the partnership of government, industry and academia. Centers are part of complex ecosystems that vary greatly in the type of science conducted, organizational structures and expected outcomes. The ability to realize their objectives depends on transparent measurement systems to assist in decision making in research translation.

“…It is worth noting that our search did not capture 'technometric' studies (e.g. Grupp, 1994;Sahal, 1985;Saviotti and Metcalfe, 1984). This research stream has been particularly important for the measurement of technology and technological change.…”

There is considerable and growing interest in the emergence of novel technologies, especially from the policy-making perspective. Yet as an area of study, emerging technologies lacks key foundational elements, namely a consensus on what classifies a technology as 'emergent' and strong research designs that operationalize central theoretical concepts. The present paper aims to fill this gap by developing a definition of 'emerging technologies' and linking this conceptual effort with the development of a framework for the operationalisation of technological emergence. The definition is developed by combining a basic understanding of the term and in particular the concept of 'emergence' with a review of key innovation studies dealing with definitional issues of technological emergence. The resulting definition identifies five attributes that feature in the emergence of novel technologies. These are: (i) radical novelty, (ii) relatively fast growth, (iii) coherence, (iv) prominent impact, and (v) uncertainty and ambiguity. The framework for operationalising emerging technologies is then elaborated on the basis of the proposed attributes. To do so, we identify and review major empirical approaches (mainly in, although not limited to, the scientometric domain) for the detection and study of emerging technologies (these include indicators and trend analysis, citation analysis, co-word analysis, overlay mapping, and combinations thereof) and elaborate on how these can be used to operationalise the different attributes of emergence.
