CPROST: Reports

As members of an academic research centre, CPROST faculty and staff publish regularly in peer reviewed journals and books. CPROST also maintains a library of reports and working papers, many of which are available on-line in Adobe PDF format. In order to view these documents please download Adobe Acrobat Reader if you do not already have it on your computer.

AUTM Reports

This series of reports is based primarily on data derived from the annual surveys conducted since 1991 by the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) on the commercialisation of intellectual property developed at U.S. and Canadian universities. Five performance indicators from the AUTM reports are analyzed, on a per annum basis. The raw data are normalized by total research expenditures to draw interesting conclusions about commercialisation productivity and factors that help determine it. Results from the surveys of Canadian universities and U.S. universities and other research institutions are compared with the results with results for the UK and Australia.
