Over the years, knowledge mobilization has been measured via patent filings and non-patent citation analysis, and more recently through analysis of citations to research in government and NGO-issued public policy documents. From this basis, we examine recent knowledge mobilization patterns for research published in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden from 2015-2017. We identify national and disciplinary trends in research productivity and collaboration using grants and publication data from Dimensions, and compare these trends to non-patent and public policy citations to research, as well as patent filings. We offer a comparative analysis to identify areas of opportunity for growth in national research policy and planning.
