Lens.org : A free and open platform for science and technology mapping October 28, 2019 Aaron Ballagh Manager, Scholarly Content, Lens.org 1
Where Have We Come From? Founded in 2000, Lens was the world’s first free and open full text patent search. ● Lens has been up 24/7 for ~20 years ● Now serves global scholarly knowledge and analytics integrated with patents. ● Lens created In4M - measuring influence of research through its citations in ● patents. Lens has been supported by philanthropies, governmental donors, universities ● (including QUT) and visionary patent offices Lens honours privacy and its data is fully open, sharable and reusable. ● 2 The Lens: A history
Principles and Mission: Free, Open And Secure Innovation Cartography Provide services that democratizes access to information and renders discovery, analytics and decision making processes more efficient, open and transparent to accelerate innovation. Free Secure Open Steadfast 3
Expose Capabilities and Industry Researchers Find experts through Directly link scholarly non- patents that cite Incentivise Partnerships patent literature with scholarly work. patent literature. Provide an enabling facility that engages the global research community and industry to encourage and ‘map’ influence on the innovation system and identify Partnership, Results Opportunities, Risks and Trajectories Exposure of opportunities for innovative partnerships with industry, informed by public research.

1. Private, trusted and secure. The Lens is private and secure, we don’t track users, we don’t sell data and we don’t advertise. So what you do on the platform is your business and you choose what to make public. Our Difference 2. Open, no constraints. Why Are We Unique? Open source, Open Data, Open Access. Only global public good service providing open access to a comprehensive collection, analysis, annotation and sharing of patent and relevant research. Our competitors operate in parts of 3. Free to all end-users. the innovation system, we operate No user will be charged to use Lens, and access all as an open aggregator across the public data and analytic capability. Lens welcomes system. Openness and transparency partners to enrich and improve efficiency, transparency and sharing of quality data build trust. Trust builds community. 4. Break the silos of domain knowledge. Allow joining and sharing of diverse data, information and user-supplied knowledge to allow verifiable ‘maps’ of innovation domains. 5 5

In4M International Industry & Innovation Influence Mapping Using patent citations to map the influence of scholarship on academia and industry, In4M explores, exposes and ranks the degree to which research works, scholars’ work product, or whole institutions influence outcomes for society. 14
PATCITE Open influence mapping facility Use open persistent identifiers (PMIDs or DOIs) to discover which scholarly articles have influenced what patents and who is using scholarly work to build products. Explore who is citing your scholarly work(s) and map the influence on industry by visualising and exploring the network of linkages. 15
PATSEQ Explore Biological Sequences in Patents DNA and protein in patents are crucial to understand and harness new science for health, agriculture and the environment. Lens hosts the world’s largest publicly available database and toolkit for biological patents, with internal transparency. 16
COLLECTIONS Dashboards & Reports Create, edit, annotate, analyse, share and publish collections of patents or scholarship. Create and explore collections to understand who does what, when and where to inform decision-making. 17
