“…We should also mention the studies which analyze the references to other patents in applications, e.g. in order to trace the technological development in a given sector (Gui et al, 2019), and those which record the references to websites of specific organizations as an indicator of their technological level (Orduna-Malea et al, 2017). The researchers use the techniques of text mining, information visualization, or natural language processing to analyze the unstructured data contained in the abstract, the patent claim, or the description of the invention (Abbas et al, 2014).…”

Purpose/Thesis: The article analyses patent applications for inventions in the area of electronic publishing. Its investigates how the number of patent applications changed in the years 2014–2018, which companies were the most active in the field, and what was their providence. The issues of crucial importance to the inventors were identified by the study of the symbols used by International Patent Classification.Approach/Methods: The analysis was based on the data from the base Lens.org from years 2014–2018. In total, 1733 patent applications related to electronic publishing were identified.Results and conclusions: The study recorded an increasing activity of Chinese and Korean inventors, and a low number of patent applications filed by European firms. The applicants focus on specific functions facilitating interaction between the user and digital devices; a relatively high number of applications is concerned with electronic commerce, and with the use of electronic publishing in education.Originality/Value: An analysis of patent applications may help to identify specific phenomena occurring in the field of information technologies. It records the recent trends in research, and identifies the countries and agents which lead the development of widely understood electronic publishing.

“…Thus, they may only be useful for large document sets. For example, patent citations are rare but common enough to be used to compare universities for a dimension of technological impact (Orduna-Malea, Thelwall, & Kousha, 2017). Altmetrics seem to be most prevalent and most useful in health-related fields, but also relatively prevalent in the humanities, social sciences, and life sciences (Costas, Zahedi, & Wouters, 2015).…”

Many indicators derived from the web have been proposed to supplement citation-based indicators in support of research assessments. These indicators, often called altmetrics, are available commercially from Altmetric.com and Elsevier's Plum Analytics or can be collected directly. These organisations can also deliver altmetrics to support institutional self-evaluations. The potential advantages of altmetrics for research evaluation are that they may reflect important non-academic impacts and may appear before citations when an article is published, thus providing earlier impact evidence. Their disadvantages often include susceptibility to gaming, data sparsity, and difficulties translating the evidence into specific types of impact. Despite these limitations, altmetrics have been widely adopted by publishers, apparently to give authors, editors and readers insights into the level of interest in recently published articles. This article summarises evidence for and against extending the adoption of altmetrics to research evaluations. It argues that whilst systematically-gathered altmetrics are inappropriate for important formal research evaluations, they can play a role in some other contexts. They can be informative when evaluating research units that rarely produce journal articles, when seeking to identify evidence of novel types of impact during institutional or other self-evaluations, and when selected by individuals or groups to support narrative-based non-academic claims. In addition, Mendeley reader counts are uniquely valuable as early (mainly) scholarly impact indicators to replace citations when gaming is not possible and early impact evidence is needed. Organisations using alternative indicators need recruit or develop in-house expertise to ensure that they are not misused, however. Policy highlightsAltmetrics, or alternative indicators for research outputs, have been proposed as a partial solution to two research management problems: (a) assessing the societal impacts of research, and (b) obtaining early impact evidence. This article reviews the evidence and finds limited support for (a) but strong support for (b). Organisations will need to assess whether the value provided by alternative indicators in terms of helping to provide data so support research assessments is sufficient for their financial and time costs. Those using alternative indicators will deed to develop in-house expertise so that they can be used responsibly and interpreted effectively.

“…La velocidad a la que cambia el mundo es cada vez mayor; Gordon More en 1965 (rectificada en 1975) publicó la que actualmente sería conocida como la ley de Moore (Moore, 1965)(Orduña-Malea et al, 2016 en ésta se formula que cada dos años la capacidad de los transistores se duplicaría. Esta ley fue más tarde expandida por Kurzweil -denominada Ley de rendimientos acelerados (Kurzweil, 2004)-y con ella se describe el crecimiento exponencial pudiéndose aplicar también al progreso en almacenamiento, tecnológico, redes de conexión e incluso al progreso social y cultural.…”
