| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to clarify the relationship between fields in scientific linkages, while shedding light on problems that can arise when identifying cited papers.
The bibliographic information of non-patent citations is often inconsistent and incomplete. Typical cases are as follows. (1) Missing a part of bibliographic information: e.g., the journal name or the article title is not described. (2) Fluctuation of description: e.g., the journal name is abbreviated, or alphabets are transliterated into katakana characters. In addition, many typographical errors were observed. Thus, there were many cases in which we could not find relevant bibliographic records in the databases.
The number of cited categories exceeded 60 in human necessities, chemistry; metallurgy, and electricity, that is to say, patents of these sections were citing articles from a wide range of fields. As for electricity, however, Gini’s index was high, that is, citations were relatively concentrated in specific fields.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
短期的に利益を上げるというより，長期的視野のもとで研究開発を活性化させるための示唆（学術研究の技術革新への影響に関する，研究機関・国の科学技術政策への示唆）が得られると期待できる。
また，サイエンスリンケージ（特許と学術論文の引用関係）の分野横断性と，廃れが遅い論文・特許との関係について，分野ごとの傾向を明らかにすることで，潜在的に需要のある既存の知識・技術の発見と，その分野横断的な利用の促進に資する知見が得られると期待できる。
