University spin-offs: the past, the present, and the future
Studies in Higher Education, 2022 Purpose of this paper: This paper examines the past and present of the university spin-off (USO) phenomenon by identifying research findings and synthesizing different spin-off practices from around the globe. The evolution and future of this phenomenon are then discussed, alongside potential new lines of research.

Size and survival: An analysis of the university spin-offs
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2021 Universities have created USOs to exploit the research knowledge and contribute to the economic development of their regions in the last decades, leading to an extensive literature on the topic. However, this growing literature has widely overlooked the links between firm size and survival.
