Academic research and industrial innovation: An update of empirical findings
Open accessAbstract
In 1991, I published in this journal estimates of the percentage of new products and processes based on recent academic research—that is, academic research occurring within 15 years of the commercialization of whatever innovation is being considered— in the drug and medical product, information processing, chemical, electrical, instruments, metals, and Ž . oil industries in 1975–1985 Mansfield, 1991, 1992 . Because there has been considerable interest in such estimates , I have gathered similar data from a sample of 77 major firms for 1986–1994, the only significant difference in the sample design being that the machinery industry, which is reasonably active in this regard, has been substituted for oil. 3 Table 1 shows that the overall results for 1986– 1994 are very similar to those for 1975–1985, although particular industries sometimes vary substantially, as one might expect. The industry means in

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
