The goal of our research was to investigate the effects of collaboration between academia and industry on Natural Language Processing (NLP). To do this, we created a pipeline to extract affiliations and citations from NLP papers and divided them into three categories: academia, industry, and hybrid (collaborations between academia and industry). Our empirical analysis found that there is a trend towards an increase in industry and academia-industry collaboration publications and that these types of publications tend to have a higher impact compared to those produced solely within academia.
