The Impact of Academic Patenting on the Rate, Quality and Direction of (Public) Research Output
In this January 2006 paper, Stuart, Ding, and Pierre Azoulay of Columbia Universitys Graduate School of Business examine the patents and research output of 3,862 academic life scientists to determine if the increasing focus on commercialization at American universities is affecting the quantity and quality of published research. They conclude that patent activity has a positive effect on the rate of article publication, but no observable effect on the quality of those articles.
