The impact of boundary spanning scholarly publications and patents.

<h4>Background</h4>Human knowledge and innovation are recorded in two media: scholarly publication and patents. These records not only document a new scientific insight or new method developed, but they also carefully cite prior work upon which the innovation is built.<h4>Methodolo...
