English abstract

A patent is an Industrial Property Title granted by the State to the author of an invention, through which the author is given (in exchange for making the invention publicly known) the exclusive right to exploit it within the national territory for a specified period of time. It is a right that the State exclusively grants for inventions. In the field of innovation, patents serve a dual function: (i) on one hand, they protect and inspire research and technological development—here, their purpose is to safeguard industrial property, which requires their dissemination through official agency databases; and (ii) on the other hand, they act as drivers of technological development. Some of the commercial databases and specialized search engines include: the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO), Patentscope, and open-access initiatives such as Google Patents and Lens. Moreover, patents are also relevant documents from a bibliographic perspective, as they contain references to scientific and technological literature provided during the application process (to justify the novelty and utility of the invention). In the past, the only indicators used to measure the dynamism of a technological sector were based on the number of registered patents. However, today, the scientific literature cited in patents is considered a key indicator and a tool to evaluate the scientific influence on technology. The importance of patent citations is projected as an indicator of scientific productivity, aiming to analyze the link between scientific activity and technology transfer. To do this, it is necessary to apply specific metrics that allow the analysis of these citations and establish impact indices focused on measuring the level of technological transfer of the cited publications. The objective of this work is to analyze the scientific literature affiliated with the University of Granada that is cited in patents, as an indicator for understanding the process of technology transfer. The data was obtained from the Lens online database for patent and scholarly literature searches. A total of 647 research papers cited in patents were retrieved. The methodology involved analyzing the scientific output (using the analytical tools available within the Lens database) and performing statistical and descriptive analysis using the RStudio Bibliometrix tool. The results show that the most relevant journals are prestigious international publications, primarily from the Anglo-American world, such as PLOS ONE, Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), Scientific Reports, Nutrients, and Analytica Chimica Acta. Among the most frequently cited authors are Segura-Carretero, A., Alarcón-Riquelme, M.E., Gil, A., Marchal, J.A., and Menendez, P. The fields of study with the highest level of technology transfer are Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, and Immunology. In conclusion, analyzing citations in patents represents an additional challenge in the development of indicators to assess scientific output (in this case, from the University of Granada) from a technological perspective.
