作者：
Highlights：
• We propose an approach to set up a country’s “Balance of Knowledge Flows” (BKF).
• The BKF records the trade of knowledge across countries.
• Knowledge produced in a country is measured through its publications.
• Outflows of knowledge are measured through citations by foreing countries.
• The BKF can be included in yearly reports of science and technology indicators.
