Understand and accurately model the structure and dynamics of science and technology at a highly detailed level. This includes identifying emerging opportunities and characterizing research strengths. Our slogan is “accuracy, accuracy, accuracy.”
Intelligently integrate multiple data sources. Our “Better Maps” integrate article and patent databases at the document level of analysis. Now that we know how to integrate two large databases it will be relatively easy to add more.
Intelligently incorporate features from full text into our processes and models. All current large scale maps of science use bibliographies and abstracts. The future will involve the leveraging full text information. This will represent the next generation in science mapping.
Do these things in a way that is useful for stakeholders in science, technology and innovation. If the problem isn’t hard, we aren’t interested. If the problem isn’t fun to work on, we aren’t interested. Typically academic….
