citation impact -> economic impact?

[Bowman, Benjamin]

Dear Colleagues,

Is anyone aware of papers discussing the correlation between the impact (e.g. citation rate) of a scientific article and its potential patentablity (or some other measure of its potential to be translated into economic value)?
Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ben Bowman
