The Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters has released The World in 2025: 10 Predictions of Innovation, a new report that predicts the landscape of science and technology in 2025 by mining global patent data and scientific literature.
To conduct the study, researchers identified the top 10 emerging scientific research fronts based on an analysis of citation rankings using Thomson Reuters Web of Science. They next looked at global patent data in the Derwent World Patents Index to identify the top 10 patent fields with the highest number of inventions containing a priority date of 2012 and beyond. The resulting technology areas with the highest level of commercial and scientific research interest were then reviewed to identify hot spots of innovation that will lead to tomorrow's biggest breakthroughs.
The full report of The World in 2025: 10 Predictions of Innovation, provides snapshots of research-citation-and-patent-filing metrics for each technology area, alongside commentary that defines the key trends of these nascent technologies. Data for this report were compiled using Thomson Reuters Web of Science®, InCites®, Derwent World Patents Index®, and Thomson Innovation.
