Lens.org: A free and open platform for science and technology mapping

October 28, 2019 Aaron Ballagh Manager, Scholarly Content, Lens.org

• Founded in 2000, Lens was the world’s first free and open full text patent search.
• Lens has been up 24/7 for ~20 years
• Now serves global scholarly knowledge and analytics integrated with patents.
• Lens created In4M - measuring influence of research through its citations in

patents.

• Lens has been supported by philanthropies, governmental donors, universities

(including QUT) and visionary patent offices

• Lens honours privacy and its data is fully open, sharable and reusable.

The Lens: A history

Where Have We Come From?

2

Principles and Mission: Free, Open And Secure Innovation Cartography

Provide services that democratizes access to information and renders discovery, analytics and decision making processes more efficient, open and transparent to accelerate innovation.

3

Free Open Secure Steadfast

Provide an enabling facility that engages the global research community and industry to encourage and ‘map’ influence on the innovation system and identify Partnership, Opportunities, Risks and Trajectories (PORTs) Deliver an analytical solution that facilitates research and industry partnerships around Science and Technology-Enabled Problem Solving (STEPS).

Researchers

Directly link scholarly non- patent literature with patent literature.

Industry

Find experts through patents that cite scholarly work.

Results

Exposure of opportunities for innovative partnerships with industry, informed by public research. Mapping PORTs.

Outcome

Enable public and private investors to evaluate the extent to which investment has resulted in economic and social innovations.

Expose Capabilities and Incentivise Partnerships

• 1. Private, trusted and secure.

The Lens is private and secure, we don’t track users, we don’t sell data and we don’t advertise. So what you do on the platform is your business and you choose what to make public.

• 2. Open, no constraints.

Open source, Open Data, Open Access. Only global public good service providing open access to a comprehensive collection, analysis, annotation and sharing of patent and relevant research.

• 3. Free to all end-users.

No user will be charged to use Lens, and access all public data and analytic capability. Lens welcomes partners to enrich and improve efficiency, transparency and sharing of quality data

• 4. Break the silos of domain knowledge.

Allow joining and sharing of diverse data, information and user-supplied knowledge to allow verifiable ‘maps’ of innovation domains.

Our Difference

Why Are We Unique?

Our competitors operate in parts of the innovation system, we operate as an open aggregator across the

• system. Openness and transparency

build trust. Trust builds community.

In4M

International Industry & Innovation Influence Mapping

Using patent citations to map the influence of scholarship on academia and industry, In4M explores, exposes and ranks the degree to which research works, scholars’ work product, or whole institutions influence outcomes for society.

14

Use open persistent identifiers (PMIDs

• r DOIs) to discover which scholarly

articles have influenced what patents and who is using scholarly work to build products. Explore who is citing your scholarly work(s) and map the influence on industry by visualising and exploring the network of linkages. PATCITE
