چکیده:
This scientometric research was conducted through correlation-analysis, and intended to assess the correlation between publications and patents both in developed countries and in Iran. The present study was performed using scientometric methodology and used USPTO for patent data and Scopus for publication data from 2015 to 2019. This study applied both parametric and non-parametric statistical analyses. Moreover, the Spearman Correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between variables and types of variables. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS1 software. The relationship between these two variables was significant in each of the years under study. Different types of scientific documents, such as books, articles, and conference papers, were assessed. The Pearson Correlation analysis between these types of documents showed significance at 0.01 level in the articles with the correlation coefficient of 0.858, books with the correlation coefficient of 0.867, and conference papers with the correlation coefficient of 0.874, which was related to the extent of patenting. The subject areas related to social sciences and humanities, engineering and technical sciences, medical sciences, and biological sciences with the correlation coefficients of 0.866, 0.861, 0.843, and 0.834, respectively, at 0.01 level, revealed a significant relationship between the studied countries’ scientific output in these subject areas and the extent of patenting. The results of the present research showed that there was a positive relationship between the studied countries’ scientific output and their level of patenting. The countries that enjoy high levels of scientific output have more inventions. However, the results for Iran indicated that the growth in scientific output has had an insignificant effect on the country’s invention rate.

In order to assess the significance of the relationship between the number of patenting licenses and the extent of scientific outputs in the developed countries and Iran, this study examined some variables such as the types of produced documents and the level of scientific production in different research areas.
01 level The information obtained from Spearman's test shows that the relationship between the number of scientific productions and registered patents of the countries is statistically significant.
To study the relationship between the different types of scientific documents and the number of registered patents, the production information of papers, books and conference papers was extracted for the 137 countries from Scopus citation database from 2015 to 2019.
Table 5 shows the results of Spearman's correlation test between the different types of scientific documents of the countries, including papers, books and conference papers, and the number of their registered patents from 2015 to 2019.
01 level The information obtained from the Spearman correlation coefficient shows that the relationship between the countries’ production rates of papers, books and conference papers and the number of their registered patents is statistically significant.
01 level The information obtained from the Spearman correlation test shows that there is a direct and significant statistical relationship between the scientific productions of the countries in the four subject categories of social and human sciences, technical sciences, medical sciences and life sciences, and the number of their registered patents.
