We explored the interactions between papers and patents by studying cross-citations between journal papers and technical patents concerning CRISPR/CAS9, an emerging research topic. We found that the knowledge flow from patents to papers was weaker than that from papers to patents, while the knowledge flow of papers–papers and patents–patents were faster than that between papers and patents. From 2013 to 2017, the science cycle time (SCT) value of journal papers was 4.23, while their technology cycle time (TCT) value was 6.29. The SCT value of patents was 9.56, while their TCT value was 4.88. The science linkage value and technology linkage value between papers and patents was 82.39 and 0.012, respectively. T-tests indicated that the interaction between papers and patents was significant. Although there are many paper citations by patents, the distribution of paper citations was more scattered than patent citations by patents. Examining the paper and patent hybrid documents co-citation revealed that papers’ references contained five topics, while patents’ references contained only three.

我们通过研究有关 CRISPR/CAS9 的期刊论文和技术专利之间的交叉引用，探索了论文和专利之间的相互作用，这是一个新兴的研究课题。我们发现，从专利到论文的知识流动弱于从论文到专利的知识流动，而论文——论文和专利——专利的知识流动快于论文和专利之间的知识流动。从2013年到2017年，期刊论文的科学周期时间（SCT）值为4.23，而其技术周期时间（TCT）值为6.29。专利的SCT值为9.56，TCT值为4.88。论文与专利之间的科学联动值和技术联动值分别为82.39和0.012。T 检验表明论文和专利之间的相互作用是显着的。虽然有很多论文被专利引用，论文引用的分布比专利引用的专利更分散。检查论文和专利混合文件的共引发现，论文的参考文献包含五个主题，而专利的参考文献仅包含三个主题。
