Measuring the University–Industry–Government Collaboration in Indian Research Output

Universities, industry and government organizations all play an important role in growth and development of knowledge-based economies in the modern era. These institutions also play a signi-ficant role in knowledge creation and its deployment to the benefit of society at large. In this article, we measure and characterize the university-industry-government (UIG) relationship in the research and innovation landscape of India. Research output data for 10 years (2005-14) obtained from Web of Science have been analysed to measure collaboration among different actors of the UIG collabora-tion network. We have also measured the collaboration variations across different disciplines and identified significant UIG institutional networks. The article presents useful output and analysis, and an informative account of the UIG collaboration network at present.
