作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an approach to set up a country’s “Balance of Knowledge Flows” (BKF).

• The BKF records the trade of knowledge across countries.

• Knowledge produced in a country is measured through its publications.

• Outflows of knowledge are measured through citations by foreing countries.

• The BKF can be included in yearly reports of science and technology indicators.
