Abstract
This chapter discusses a series of research projects at the Technology Policy Unit that have employed document-derived innovation output indicators. The projects addressed a variety of innovation policy issues, including the consequences of innovation for employment and skills and the successful management of innovation. All of the projects prompted a need for direct and discrete measures of innovation output for both analytic and policy purposes.
