  • Meta Data: Big Data Research Evolving across Disciplines, Players, and Topics

    We present a meta-analysis of BigData research activity since 2009. Our purpose here is to present “tech mining” (bibliometric and text analyses of research publication abstract record sets) to provide a research landscape of who is doing what, where, and when. Our larger purpose is to help Forecast Innovation Pathways for big data & analytics…

  • Nanotechnology Research in Post-Soviet Russia: Science System Path-Dependencies and their Influences

    This paper contributes to the analysis of Russian research dynamics and output in nanotechnology. The paper presents an analysis of Russian nanotechnology research outputs during the period of 1990-2012. By examining general outputs, publication paths and collaboration patterns, the paper identifies a series of quantified factors that help to explain Russia’s limited success in leveraging…
