Abstract:Science and technology innovation policy as an important tool to promote R&D in generic technologies. It is of great significance to deepen the understanding of generic technology policy and improve the policy system by exploring the characteristics of generic technology policy and systematically sorting out generic technology policy. This paper addresses the lack of understanding of the generic technology policy itself in the current research, using generic technology policy documents combined with the LDA topic model to mine generic technology policy themes, dissect policy intervention areas and policy tools, and quantify the intensity of policy themes. The topic co-occurrence relationships are used to analyse generic technology policy portfolio and explore policy portfolio characteristics in terms of comprehensiveness, consistency and balance. The results show that: generic technology policies are already in use in several industries or fields, with an increasing variety of policy tools; some legal documents are already emphasising basic generic technology research and development; generic technology policies interact with each other to form 2 policy combinations, the objectives of which are to address generic technology organizational failures and to encourage R&D of key generic technologies, and the breadth of application of the policy portfolio continues to widen, but the synergy between policies is not strong and the development of policies is uneven, which affects the supporting effect of generic technology policy combinations.
