Advances in generic forms of knowledge have reflexively transformed the form and content of knowledge production and academic institutions. This unique alteration has resulted in the initiation of steps by most universities and public policy regimes to increase the economic outcomes of their research. Utilizing qualitative in-depth interviews, the article explores the mind-set of academic scientists regarding the capitalization of knowledge. It notes that any critical analysis of patterns of knowledge capitalization will reveal that university, industry and government have all been influencing each other in varying forms and contexts. While it can be argued that universities are not idyllic islands now being crushed under industrial interests, the case for scientific integrity in all knowledge regimes must continue to be made by both proponents and critics of academic capitalism within the spirit of openness and scientific boundaries
