“…In this view and considering the UN claims to exploit the full potential of sustainability, there should be a transition from basic science to a useful end-product involving a significant and green scale-up process. 4 In this sense, Hebatallah et al 149 mentioned that the production of commercial nanotechnology products requires strict standards of reproducibility, reliability, and safety.…”

“…Second, nanotechnology was assessed in this study by referring to the number of studies on various elements of nanotechnology on GDP since data on the actual output of nanotechnology are unavailable. This statistic enabled researchers to quantify the efficacy of nanotechnology research influence or the impact of scholarly work on practical situations (Maynard, 2006; Kay and Shapira, 2011; Adam and Youssef, 2019). Third, it is believed that this study represents the first attempt to examine the dynamic influence of nanotechnology development on energy poverty in developing countries.…”

PurposeNanotechnology's rapid development worldwide is a significant measure for countries to strengthen the building of energy security. Thus, to empirically investigate the underlying effect of nanotechnology on energy poverty alleviation, the authors of this study assess the impact of nanotechnology on alleviating energy poverty in developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThe paper used panel data for 56 developing countries over the period 2012–2019, by employing dynamic generalised method of moments (GMM) analysis.FindingsThe findings showed that the emergence of nanotechnology has a significant trend in increasing energy poverty in developing countries. This suggests that whilst nanotechnology may be a promising solution for addressing energy poverty in certain contexts, nanotechnology may not be the most viable option for reducing poverty in developing countries. The findings have added credence as the findings are robust to the inclusion of alternative energy poverty measures and additional controlled variables.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this study results show unpromising outcomes in addressing energy poverty in developing countries, the authors believe that this may be a short-term phenomenon. In the long run, policies and programs must be put in place to support the development and deployment of nanotechnology to reduce energy poverty.Originality/valueThe authors believe this is the first attempt to examine the dynamic influence of nanotechnology development on energy poverty in developing countries. From the standpoint of nanotechnology development, this can help policymakers develop rules and regulations to tackle energy poverty.

“…Another study by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and Search Technology, Inc. shows that China, the USA, South Korea, India and Iran are the top five countries in terms of emerging topics in scientific publications from 1991 to 2015 (Porter et al, 2019). Egyptian researchers argued on the potential impacts of nanotechnology on Egyptian industries (Adam and Youssef, 2019); however, they did not present any clear indicators. In a report published by The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), some indicators related to nanotechnology publications and patents have been introduced and measured (Friedrichs, 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to suggest indicators for evaluating Iran national nanotechnology plan at the policy and program levels. Governments are required to evaluate their policies to be accountable to their audience and to improve their policies. The evaluation of nanotechnology policies both in academic and governmental institutions has been mainly confined to measuring the research and development outputs, while explicit models are required for evaluating national nanotechnology policies and programs. In other words, although policies are translated into several activities, it does not mean that the evaluation of activities results in holistic policy evaluation. Design/methodology/approach The present research uses a qualitative method to explore the process of developing a model for assessing nanotechnology policymaking in Iran. Expert opinions have been collected and analyzed by using local and international surveys to validate different elements of the model. Findings The model includes the evaluation time-frame, criteria and indicators for policy and program levels. Assessment at program and policy levels, as distinct from activity evaluation, measures the ultimate objectives of a policy intervention, based on which the outcome and impact indicators should be developed. This paper argues that the Iran national nanotechnology policy should be evaluated and revised triennially based on the model in which 46 outcome and impact indicators are included under three general criteria of appropriateness, efficiency and effectiveness. A number of these indicators should be evaluated annually or biannually. Originality/value The evaluation of nanotechnology plans has been mainly limited to assessing the research and development outputs that are related to the activity level. The main value of this work is developing outcome and impact indicators that are related to policy and program levels.
