The Journal of Technology Transfer (JOTT) published its first issue in 1977. Since this first issue, the JOTT has made major contributions to its field. This chapter uses dynamic bibliometric techniques and the Scopus database to analyze all JOTT issues published between 1977 and 2018. Citations are considered up to and including September 30, 2019. The primary objective is to determine the leading research trends in technology transfer by analyzing the most influential studies published in the JOTT and studying their evolution. The evolution of these research trends suggests that entrepreneurial universities, university-industry collaboration, and knowledge management have become the leading trends in technology transfer in the last few years, alongside entrepreneurial ecosystems, which rose to prominence in 2019. Finally, to complement the previous analyses, examining the most influential JOTT articles is carried out from a policy perspective, as public policies are one of the main factors affecting the environment for technology transfer. A qualitative text analysis of these 16 articles shows that the words policy and policies are found in 15. A more profound review reveals that the policies mentioned and dealt with in these articles can be grouped into three different types: technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and regional innovation policies.
