Authors:
Provides a thorough introduction in the relations among relevant theories (systems theory, evolution theory, and communication theory) and serves therefore interdisciplinarity
Elaborates the institutional Triple Helix of university-industry-government into a neo-evolutionary one explaining the potential for synergy in TH relations
Bridges the gap between qualitative theorizing about the dynamics of science and quantitative studies in science, technology, and innovation
Written by author who is a well-known scientometrician and a highly cited researcher
Is of interest to different audiences
