He found some proof between a country's innovation score and the percentage share of that country's academic-corporate co-publications, with a higher share in countries with higher innovation scores. The second study he reported on looked at research collaboration with growth countries to see if collaborations are taking place with what he referred to as the "countries of the future." He assigned a growth indicator for each country, based on publication volume growth and citation impact growth in two time windows (1999–2018 and 2014–2018)
