A novel approach to measuring science-technology linkage: From the perspective of knowledge network coupling
作者：
Highlights：
• A novel network coupling approach to gauge science-technology linkage is proposed.
• The S&T linkage measurement is transformed from the traditional linear model into a network model.
• Appropriate scientific and technological knowledge networks are determined to explore their linkages.
• The network coupling strength is calculated based on similarities of coupling nodes’ degree distribution and similarities of coupling edges’ weight distribution.
• The proposed approach can identify a lead-lag relationship between science and technology.
