中文摘要：

探索技术会聚测度方法,有助于我们更好地理解和把握技术会聚的发展态势和演化机理,为技术的会聚发展决策提供支撑。基于专利耦合分析和专利主题词共现分析方法,以全球制药技术会聚中国（中医）和美国（西医）专利技术为实证,探索了技术会聚测度方法,并进而探讨中西医对世界制药技术发展的影响。实证分析结果表明,中医对世界制药技术发展的影响主要集中于中医中药领域和癌症治疗等其他一些领域,西医对全球制药技术发展的影响更加多元化;受中医影响的主要会聚主体都是中国的制药研发机构,受西医影响的主要会聚主体涉及到多个国家的全球领先制药机构。研究中提出的技术会聚测度方法,可以被广泛地应用于类似的研究课题。

英文摘要：

Exploring the methods of measuring technology convergence via patent coupling analysis,will help us understand the developing trends and evolution mechanisms of technology convergence, and will further support our decision making. Based on patent coupling analysis and co-word analysis ,taking global pharmaceuticals as an empirical study, the paper explored the methods of measuring technology convergence, and discussed the influence of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine on global pharmaceuticals. Results show that impact from Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on Chinese, whereas influence from western medicine focuses on diversified areas;main converging institutions are Chinese institutions from Traditional Chinese Medicine ,yet main converging institutions are from various countries from western medicine. The methodologies proposed in this study can be widely used in similar research issues.
