Abstract：As an important data source for strategic intelligence analysis, not only does patent citation reflect knowledge flow in technological development, but also it can be used in technology front tracking and technology status recognition on both country and organization level. After exploring definition and origin of patent citation, this paper describes the roadmap of patent-patent citation analysis method and patent-paper citation method according to categories of patent citation, and lists some representative works. In the end, the paper summarizes the problems occurred in patent citation analysis and provides some corresponding advices.
