ISBN: 038771619X ISBN-13: 9780387716190 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $161.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 2008 Annotation: Mapping Nanotechnology Innovations and Knowledge will define the application of Information Technology??'s systematic and automated knowledge mapping methodology to collect, analyze and report nanotechnology research on a global basis. The result of these analyses will be a systematic presentation of the state of the art of nanotechnology, which will include basic analysis, content analysis, and citation network analysis of comprehensive nanotechnology findings across technology domains, inventors, institutions, and countries. Many sources will be explored in detail to ensure the examination will be global in nature, comprehensive in scope, reliable in content, and completely current. Among the sources investigated and catalogued will be the nanotechnology patent and literature databases from the US patent Office (USPTO), the European Patent Office (EPO), and the Japanese Patent Office (JPO). |

| Publisher Description: Introduction 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 (USPTO in the United States, EPO in Europe and JPO 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 connection 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. A web-based system has been developed for accessing and visualizing nanotechnology patents, articles and NSF awards. Scope and Organization The monograph aims to present its chapters in a manner understandable and useful to students, researchers, and nanotechnology professionals. The titles of the eleven chapters are listed below: - Chapter 1. Nanotechnology: An Emerging Field - Chapter 2. Knowledge Mapping: Foundation - Chapter 3. Knowledge Mapping: Analysis Framework - Chapter 4. Mapping Nanotechnology Innovations via USPTO Database: A Longitudinal Study, 1976-2002 - Chapter 5. Federal Funding and Nanotechnology Innovations: NSF Funding and USPTO Patent Analysis, 1991-2002 - Chapter 6. |
