A new approach to explore the knowledge transition path in the evolution of science & technology: From the biology of restriction enzymes to their application in biotechnology

作者:

Highlights:

• A new approach is developed to explore knowledge transition from discovery-oriented science to technological fields.

• A new path is constructed, referred to as the Discovery-Application-Technology (D-A-T) path.

• This D-A-T path makes intermediate steps visible through application-oriented publications.

• Our contribution provides a useful tool for bridging the existing gap in detecting knowledge transition between S & T.
