Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to analyze the technological impact of papers that Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin (APB) has published through patent-to-paper citations analysis. METHODS: Current research uses a Scientometric approach to analyze patent citations to published papers by the APB. The Lens has been used for collecting patents that cited related papers. Some of the data analysis was conducted using the Lens analytical tool. RESULTS: Results show that APB's patent-to-paper citation rate is 32.39%, above the toxicology field average (6.15%) but below pharmacology (46.33%), indicating significant technological influence. APB contributes to both science and technology, attracting global inventors. CONCLUSION: The patent citations metric can be used to understand how a journal contributes to technological progress. However, these methods need to be standardized and promoted to understand a journal's real value in technology contribution.
