Abstract
University-industry collaboration research has shown a vigorous academic life and great potentials. This study examines the publication trends, discipline distributions, research hotspots, evaluation path, and research trends of university-industry collaboration using bibliometric methods, based on the literature included in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2012 to 2022, to depict its knowledge landscape and evolution path. The results reveal that technology transfer offices, collaborative agglomeration, managing triple helix operation, and firm innovation are prominent research hotspots in the field of university-industry collaboration. University-industry collaboration research demonstrates a stable knowledge base with multidisciplinary engagement, indicating its robust academic presence and significant potential. The evolutionary analysis identifies three distinct stages in the evolution path of university-industry collaboration research, indicating its continuous development over time. Based on this study, it is predicted that the multidisciplinary development trend of university-industry collaboration research will be further strengthened and a holistic ecosystem for university-industry collaboration is about to attract more attention.
