The field of nanotechnology has seen enormous growth since 2000 and
is expected to reach $1 trillion worldwide by 2015. Through a
systematic and automated knowledge mapping methodology, authors
Hsinchun Chen and Mihail Roco in this book collect, analyze and
report on the state of the art in nanotechnology research.
The description, planning and governance of nanotechnology
development require data on knowledge creation and innovation in
various areas of application, how these evolve in time and what is
the international context. This book aims to selectively provide
such information based on the analysis of databases for science and
engineering articles (Thompson Citation Index) and patents (US
Patent Office in the United States, European Patent Office in
Europe and the Japanese Patent Office in Japan). After a survey of
the investigative methods, comparative results per countries,
technology fields and research organizations are presented for
articles and patents in parts of the interval 1976 to 2006.
Interesting features on the evolution of major research themes and
connections between research awards and patents have been obtained
via longitudinal investigation of the published articles and patent
data, as well as connection between NSF funding in nanotechnology
and patents awarded to their principal investigators. The web-based
Nano Mapper System, developed for accessing and visualizing
nanotechnology patents, articles and NSF awards, is presented in
the final chapter.
This ground-breaking volume offers a wealth of information for
professors, researchers and students in information technology
interested in knowledge mapping methodology and its applications
inemerging technology fields; professors, researchers and students
in nanotechnology-related fields; executives, managers, analysts
and researchers in the nanotechnology industry; and policy makers
and analysts in federal governments interested in monitoring the
global competitive landscape.
