Collaborative networks and technology clusters — The case of nanowire
Patenting activities and technology diffusion in high-tech sectors are being increasingly driven by collaborative, international and technology-based new entrants. In the realm of nanotechnology, one of the most mature structures is nanowire. This paper is concerned with the technology transfer process in the nanowire field; in particular it examines how patent collaborations occur and how the key actors interact with each other to support this process. Continue reading Collaborative networks and technology clusters — The case of nanowire
Alzheimer’s disease research in the future: bibliometric analysis of cholinesterase inhibitors from 1993 to 2012
In this study, the bibliometric study of cholinesterase inhibitors was used to find the trend of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research and the order of drugs which was most tolerated or more effective in AD treatment. 4,982 articles and reviews from the Science Citation Index Expanded during 1993–2012 were analyzed. Continue reading Alzheimer’s disease research in the future: bibliometric analysis of cholinesterase inhibitors from 1993 to 2012
Combining tech-mining and semantic-TRIZ for a faster and better technology analysis: a case in energy storage systems
Understanding and anticipating the evolution of technologies is an increasingly complex task attributable to the interdisciplinarity of the technology and the explosion of information about the research and patent activity. By combining the capabilities of tech-mining in identifying and in highlighting trends, weak signals, with those of semantic-TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch – Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) in identifying the functions, its causes and effects, a better understanding of the trends may be obtained in a shorter time. Continue reading Combining tech-mining and semantic-TRIZ for a faster and better technology analysis: a case in energy storage systems
A hybrid visualisation model for technology roadmapping: bibliometrics, qualitative methodology and empirical study
Technology roadmapping offers a flexible instrument to portray development status in support of technology forecasting and assessment. This paper integrates bibliometrics with qualitative methodologies and visualisation techniques to construct a hybrid model for composing technology roadmaps. Continue reading A hybrid visualisation model for technology roadmapping: bibliometrics, qualitative methodology and empirical study
A Bibliometric Study of Informing Science: The International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline
Informing Science is a young transdisciplinary science. the essential characteristics of which were defined fifteen years ago. The journal Informing Science: the International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline (In-formSciJ) is the flagship journal of transdisciplinary Informing Science. A study about the publi-cation’s influence and readership could be pertinent to better understanding the present state of Informing Science. Continue reading A Bibliometric Study of Informing Science: The International Journal of an Emerging Transdiscipline
User-centered innovative technology analysis and prediction application in mobile environment
Business intelligence is critical in defining the strategy and roadmap of an organization. However, business intelligence covers too much to consider all in such relevant fields as data analytics, text mining, predictive analytics, and so on. Continue reading User-centered innovative technology analysis and prediction application in mobile environment
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
