Abstract: In order to utilize the data source of papers and patents for joint analysis, to evaluate the scientific achievements from multiple perspectives, to track the research frontiers and to study the mutual relationship between science and technology, this paper sorted out the concepts and methods commonly used in the bibliometrics and patentometrics, thoroughly compared and analyzed their similarities and differences, provided a reasonable explanation for these differences and summarized the basic methods and key points for paper-patent joint analysis. The research shows that the bibliometrics emphasize the influence of academic achievements whereas the patentometrics emphasize the evolvement and competition of technical fields as well as their commercial value, therefore the focus of analysis contents of bibliometrics and patentometrics are different. Basic laws and software in bibliometrics can also be applied to patentometrics but should be adjusted to account for the characteristics of patents. The paper-patent joint analysis can be achieved by studying the connections of papers and patents in research area, institutes or authors, citations and key words.
