商品描述
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 in emerging 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
奈米技術領域自2000年以來經歷了巨大的增長，預計到2015年全球市場將達到1兆美元。作者陳信純和米哈伊·羅科在本書中通過系統化和自動化的知識映射方法，收集、分析並報告奈米技術研究的最新進展。
奈米技術發展的描述、規劃和治理需要有關知識創造和創新在各個應用領域的數據，這些數據隨時間的演變以及國際背景。本書旨在根據對科學和工程文章（湯姆森引用指數）和專利（美國專利局、歐洲專利局和日本專利局）的數據庫分析，選擇性地提供這些信息。在調查研究方法後，呈現了1976年至2006年期間各國、技術領域和研究機構的文章和專利的比較結果。通過對已發表文章和專利數據的縱向調查，獲得了主要研究主題的演變及研究獎項與專利之間的關聯的有趣特徵，以及奈米技術的國家科學基金（NSF）資助與授予其主要研究者的專利之間的關聯。最後一章介紹了為訪問和可視化奈米技術專利、文章和NSF獎項而開發的基於網絡的奈米映射系統。
這本開創性的著作為對知識映射方法及其在新興技術領域應用感興趣的信息技術教授、研究人員和學生；奈米技術相關領域的教授、研究人員和學生；奈米技術產業的高管、經理、分析師和研究人員；以及對監測全球競爭格局感興趣的聯邦政府政策制定者和分析師提供了豐富的信息。
