Publish or perish is the mantra of leading Research Universities. Professors receive tenure based on their publication track record. Universities profile themselves based on the publication record of their staff. As a result, U.S. academic institutions account for roughly three-quarters of all U.S. papering each year1. University Papering trends frequently form the basis for rating academic standings of Research Universities. However, universities can and should become the fly wheel for economic development. Some universities such as MIT or University of Texas in Austin become the seed for Centers of Innovations. Particularly in today’s knowledge economy, Research Universities need to take a role in commercializing their scientific and technological innovation. For Universities to fulfill this role, they will need to emphasize patenting as well as papering.
