摘要：专利引用过程中蕴含着丰富的知识活动。由于专利文献与论文文献的相似性，可以利用科学计量学的相关理论和方法来对专利引用过程中的知识活动进行深入揭示和可视化展示。研究结果显示引用过程中包含着知识的产生与传播、知识的发展与重组等活动。在中观和宏观尺度上来看，微观层次的知识发展与重组可能会导致技术范式的变更，这类似于托马斯·库恩提出的科学革命到来之前科学范式的更替。

Abstract: The process of patent citation contains plenty of knowledge activities. Due to the similarity between patent and paper documents, theories and methods related to scientific metrology can be used to reveal and visually display the knowledge activity in the patent citation process. Research results show that the process of citation contains activities involoving the production, spread, development, and reorganization of knowledge. In the mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, knowledge development and reorganization on micro level may result in the change of the technology paradigm, which is similar to the scientific paradigm replacement before the arrival of the scientific revolution raised by Thomas Kuhn.
