18. 3.2.1 Institution has created an ecosystem for innovations and has initiatives
for creation and transfer of knowledge
Knowledge transfer practices
•Knowledge transfer between academia and industry is considered an important driver of innovation and economic
growth as it eases the commercialization of new scientific knowledge within firms.
•This requires bidirectional knowledge sharing to identify relevant problems, share and develop new insights, and
the transfer and implementation of knowledge or technology.
•Researchers benefit from the interaction with industry as well, as it can inspire new research directions and
provides additional funding.
• Collaboration between institute and industry for patenting, licensing, joint ventures and spin-offs.
•Encouragement for “high relational involvement of individuals and teams from academic and industries on specific
projects and produce common outputs”
•To overcome the differences due to ambiguity and absorptive capacity.
•Try to meet the differences in knowledge background between the industry and the academics.

25. Impact factor
•Impact factor of journal is a measure of frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a
particular year or period.
•Impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published.
•Impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items
published in that journal during the previous two years
•Formula for impact factor= B/C
•A= total cites in 2018, B= 2018 cites to articles published in 2016-17 (this is subset of A), C= total no. Of articles
published in 2016-17, D=B/C = 2018 impact factor
•It eliminates some of the bias of such counts which favour large journals over small ones, or frequently issued
journals over less frequently issued ones, and of older journals over newer ones.
•The impact factor can be used to provide a gross approximation of the prestige of journals in which individuals have
been published.

26. h-index and i10
•H- FACTOR: INDIVIDUAL; H = HIS/HER
•h-index: It is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the
productivity and citation impact of publications of a scientist or
scholar. It is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers .
•i10 index: It refers to the number of paper with 10 or more citations. It
is created by Google Scholar and used in Google's My Citations
feature. This very simple measure is only used by Google Scholar.
Google has provided an automatically-calculated h-index and i10-index
within Google Scholar profile. https://scholar.google.com

27. Scopus and ResearchGate
Scopus: It is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-
reviewed literature i.e. scientific journals, books and conference
proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's
research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social
sciences, and arts and humanities. Scopus features smart tools to
track, analyse and visualise research. https://www.scopus.com
•ResearchGate: It European commercial social networking site for
scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions,
and find collaborators. https://www.researchgate.net
