Facilitating social and natural science cross-disciplinarity: Assessing the human and social dynamics program
Research that integrates the social and natural sciences is vital to address many societal challenges, yet is difficult to arrange, conduct, and disseminate. This article analyses the cross-disciplinary character of the research supported by a unique US National Science Foundation program on Human and Social Dynamics (HSD). Continue reading Facilitating social and natural science cross-disciplinarity: Assessing the human and social dynamics program
Mapping the knowledge evolution and professional network in the field of technology roadmapping: a bibliometric analysis
To maintain a competitive advantage, organisations constantly adjust their operations and strategies to incorporate changes in their business environment. Technology roadmapping (TRM) has emerged as a method that can link technology development with the changing business requirements. Since the method of TRM is fairly new, publications that can explain and assist the implementation of a roadmapping process are still limited. Continue reading Mapping the knowledge evolution and professional network in the field of technology roadmapping: a bibliometric analysis
Assessing nanocellulose developments using science and technology indicators
This research aims to examine scientific and technological trends of developments in nanocellulose based on scientometric and patent indicators obtained from the Science Citation Index and Derwent Innovations Index in 2001-2010. Continue reading Assessing nanocellulose developments using science and technology indicators
Characteristics and popular topics of latest research into the effects of air particulate matter on cardiovascular system by bibliometric analysis
In recent years, many epidemiological and toxicological studies have investigated the adverse effects of air particulate matter (PM) on the cardiovascular system. However, it is difficult for the researchers to have a timely and effective overall command of the latest characteristics and popular topics in such a wide field. Continue reading Characteristics and popular topics of latest research into the effects of air particulate matter on cardiovascular system by bibliometric analysis
A citation and profiling analysis of pricing research from 1980 to 2010
This paper identifies the body of literature related to pricing that exists in 20 marketing or business journals contained in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) between January 1980 and June 2010. During this 30-year period we found over 38,800 citations were made to 1945 articles that dealt with some aspect of pricing. Continue reading A citation and profiling analysis of pricing research from 1980 to 2010
Knowledge map of artemisinin research in SCI and Medline database
Artemisinin was first extracted from the herb Artemisia annua which has been used for many centuries in Chinese traditional medicine as a treatment for fever and malaria. It has been given the 2011 Lasker-DeBakey clinical medical research award. In this paper, knowledge map of artemisinin research was drawn to provide some information for global researchers interested in artemisinin and its relevant references. Continue reading Knowledge map of artemisinin research in SCI and Medline database
Scholarly Communities Of Research In Multiple Criteria Decision Making: A Bibliometric Research Profiling Study
Electronic journal databases allow efficient retrieval and processing of bibliometric data, making possible enhanced literature reviews called research profiling studies. We have conducted such a research profiling study of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) using the ISI Web of Science. Continue reading Scholarly Communities Of Research In Multiple Criteria Decision Making: A Bibliometric Research Profiling Study
Use of Patent Applications as a Tool for Technology Development Investigations on Ethanol Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass in Brazil
The growing concerns regarding the future of global energy supplies have encouraged R&D in alternative sources to complement the global energy matrix. Brazil has earned notoriety as one of the largest producers of ethanol and biomass. Continue reading Use of Patent Applications as a Tool for Technology Development Investigations on Ethanol Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass in Brazil
Technology life cycle analysis method based on patent documents
To estimate the future development of one technology and make decisions whether to invest in it or not, one needs to know the current stage of its technology life cycle (TLC). The dominant approach to analyzing TLC uses the S-curve to observe patent applications over time. But using the patent application counts alone to represent the development of technology oversimplifies the situation. In this paper, we build a model to calculate the TLC for an object technology based on multiple patent-related indicators.
