Abstract

In the scientometrics, un-cited means low value or no value. Do un-cited patents have no value? In this paper, based on the quantitative analysis of papers and their citations in the Chinese Scientific and Technical Information of China from 2009 to 2011, we find a large number of patents were cited by the journal papers, or even with high citations. Then taking a "uncited patent" CN 01134280.3 with its 10 citing papers as an example, we analyze their contents from the cloud mapping to represent its influenced research topics and studies its industrial applications from literature research. Finally, based on Tsien Hsue-shen's theory about "basic science-technical science and engineering science", the paper analyzes the uncited paper with a high citation by the patents and the uncited patents with a high citation by the papers.
