  • Nanobiomedical science in China: a research field on the rise

    Medical and health care applications of nanotechnology have increasingly attracted research and innovation attention. Nano-biomedical science (NBMS) is a term we use to define this emerging domain.

  • International collaborative patterns in China’s nanotechnology publications

    Nanotechnology research has emerged as a monumental scientific endeavor worldwide. Over the past decade, China’s nanotechnology publication activity has grown exponentially at an annual rate of about 20%. International collaboration plays a major role in this Chinese research advance. This paper explores these nanotechnology collaboration patterns and collaborators’ performance through bibliometric and text mining analyses…

  • Effects of International Collaboration and Knowledge Moderation on China’s Nanotechnology Research Impacts

    Recent studies have consistently reported that China is becoming a leading nation in scientific output, notably in the emerging field of nanotechnology. Given the existence of Chinese diaspora and reverse migration, the driver of such growth is presumed to be international collaboration. However, little evidence shows collaboration to be the principal determinant. The purpose of…

  • Funding Acknowledgement Analysis – An Enhanced Tool to Investigate Research Sponsorship Impacts

    Extended Abstract – MINING NOVEL DATA SOURCES   session at “1st Global TechMining Conference” 2011 Author(s): Jue Wang (Florida International University) and Philip Shapira (University of Manchester) There is increasing interest in assessing how sponsored research funding influences the development and trajectory of science and technology. Traditionally, linkages between research funding and subsequent results are hard to track, often…
