This study seeks to provide a framework for the commercialization analysis of science and technology through a systematic review of the field. Therefore, the research method is descriptive-documentary in terms of practical purpose . To select the articles, by searching in valid databases, 47 documents that were published in the period of 2021-2015, were identified as relevant and valid documents, and then the selected documents were reviewed and coded by the meta-combined method.
