Measuring Innovation and Collaboration System using Big Data: A Case Study about Ho Chi Minh City.

Academic, government, and industry researchers have attempted to build some theoretical and empirical ways to understanding how to innovate and interact in data- driven contexts in recent years. However, it does not appear to go above and beyond our expectations in terms of offering fresh views and resources to investigate this trend in terms of measurement. In this brief study, I show how Dimensions.ai, a new academic big data resource, can be used to assess knowledge-based innovation processes in emerging and transitional countries like Vietnam. This article investigates creativity and collaboration in Ho Chi Minh City using a "n-tuple helix" framework based on Loet Leydesdorff's sociological theory of communication. From a social network standpoint, I argued that a city's innovation system is inextricably linked to its position in intercity and global co-authorship networks. This shows how the helix model and applications can be utilized to discover a data-driven society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
