Abstract
This study examines the relationship betweer the volume of scientific and technical publications (papers) produced by industrial scientists, and the characteristics of the cotpotations in which they work. Specifically, the study examines 1. the relationship between several key mancial characteristics of U.S. industrial firms and the production of scientLfic papers; 2. the relationship between the mount of scientific papers published by industrial scientists and the publication of patents; 3. the relationship between the quality of the scientists employed by U.S. industrial Cuxns and the firms' output of papers and paints. Data from 225 U.S. corporations were collected for the years 1975 through 1983. The corporations chosen for the study all have a history of consistent R&D expenditure. There is a substantial correlation between parenting and the publication of scientific papers although controlling for the size of the corporation reduces the correlation. Large Firms, as measured by their annual sales, produce proportionately fewer scientific papers do small tums. The number of elite scientists in a corporation is more highly correlated with the publication of scientific papers than with patenting.
