Publication-citation-recognition
This pathway follows the traditional idea of ‘knowledge push’ where RIs generate scientific publications (either directly or via users). These are, in turn, cited by others and eventually become part of a new body of knowledge. That body of knowledge later finds (conscious or unconscious) recognition within a broader research community and society. Final recipients of the knowledge generated by the RI may further translate it into economic benefits or apply it to societal problem-solving efforts. This pathway may therefore connect to P3, P7 and P8.
