There are few comprehensive and longitudinal studies to investigate the issue. The research framework are elaborated not only patenting behavior in terms of involvement, productivity, and experience, but also publication characteristics in terms of quantity, quality, and orientations. Based on a panel dataset (2001-2010) from 377 faculties at National Tsing Hua University. The results indicate that academic inventors outperform non-inventors in quantity, quality, applied/basic journal publication, and find a reinforcing effect of academic patenting on publication.
