This essay identifies three notable trends in recent science and technology policy research. By analyzing the keywords listed within published scholarship from 2010–2012, a predominant portion of articles focuses on universities, patenting, and innovation policy models. Scholars have gained some insight into these processes by focusing on how collaborations between the government, universities, and industry impact technological outcomes. However, data and measurement issues have limited research in this area.
