Funding Information:
This work was funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Queensland University of Technology, and the US Patent and Trademark Office. We acknowledge J. Prinsen at Clarivate Analytics (formerly the IP & Science business of Thomson Reuters) for the permission to use DOIs linked to global institutions in this study. We thank Small Multiples (Sydney) for their help with the draft phase of PatCite and all the librarians who evaluated it, S. Lang and K. Williams for improving PatCite user interface and developing the QUT In4M app, A. Connell, V.L. Nguyen, and P.

N2 - Public research is critical to the economy and to society. However, tangible economic and social impact occurs only when research outputs are combined, used and reused with other elements and capabilities, to deliver a product, practice or service. Assessing the context and influence of scholarship during the dynamic process of innovation rather than measuring ex post impact, may improve performance. With this aim, we have integrated and interconnected scholarly citations with global patent literature and created new tools to link the scholarly literature with the patent literature. The resulting tools we present here enable diverse stakeholders to freely evaluate the influence published research has on the generation and potential use of inventions as reflected by the patent system. We outline an evolving toolkit, Lens Influence Mapping, that allows assessment of individual scholarly works and aggregated outputs of authors for influence on industry and enterprise, as measured by citations within patents. This performance measure, applied at many levels and normalized by either research disciplines or technology fields of use, may expose and highlight institutional strength and practices, and guide future partnerships.Linking the scientific and patent literatures
