《澳门求索》被The Lens索引：当跨学科研究接入全球专利-学术关联网络（Quest Macau Indexed by The Lens: When Interdisciplinary Research Connects to the Global Patent-Scholar Association Network）

Abstract: The societal value of academic research is reflected not only in citations by peers but also in its tangible contributions to technological innovation. Quest Macau (ISSN 3081-1414, eISSN 3081-1422, CODEN: AQABAF, DOI prefix: https://doi.org/10.66106/aqabaf), a gold open-access Chinese-language academic quarterly published by Quest Press Limited, has recently been officially indexed by The Lens. Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, The Lens is a non-profit open knowledge platform that links over 280 million scholarly literature records with over 160 million patent documents, constructing the world's largest open scholarly-patent association graph. Rooted in Macau, the journal focuses on interdisciplinary and cross-cutting research. All accepted articles undergo rigorous international peer review and are published under the CC BY 4.0 license, making them permanently and freely accessible. Being indexed by The Lens will allow the journal's research outputs to enter the academic-industry innovation network, where they can be discovered and cited by corporate R&D personnel and patent examiners. This article, taking into account the journal's positioning and characteristics, analyzes the practical value of this indexing for the journal's dissemination.
