Small et al (2014) have recently proposed a hybrid approach based on a combination of direct citation and co-citation models as applied to publication data.…”

What is an emerging technology?

There is considerable and growing interest in the emergence of novel technologies, especially from the policy-making perspective. Yet as an area of study, emerging technologies lacks key foundational elements, namely a consensus on what classifies a technology as 'emergent' and strong research designs that operationalize central theoretical concepts. The present paper aims to fill this gap by developing a definition of 'emerging technologies' and linking this conceptual effort with the development of a framework for the operationalisation of technological emergence. The definition is developed by combining a basic understanding of the term and in particular the concept of 'emergence' with a review of key innovation studies dealing with definitional issues of technological emergence. The resulting definition identifies five attributes that feature in the emergence of novel technologies. These are: (i) radical novelty, (ii) relatively fast growth, (iii) coherence, (iv) prominent impact, and (v) uncertainty and ambiguity. The framework for operationalising emerging technologies is then elaborated on the basis of the proposed attributes. To do so, we identify and review major empirical approaches (mainly in, although not limited to, the scientometric domain) for the detection and study of emerging technologies (these include indicators and trend analysis, citation analysis, co-word analysis, overlay mapping, and combinations thereof) and elaborate on how these can be used to operationalise the different attributes of emergence.

“…In a few decades, the technology roadmapping approaches have become widely used by government, researchers, and industrialists in many different business and technology areas, particularly for large technology-intensive firms in the aerospace and defence sector (Farrukh et al, 2009;Vishnevskiy et al, 2015), consumer electronics sector (Huang et al, 2014;Li et al, 2015;Lischka and Gemunden, 2008), and energy sector (Daim and Oliver, 2008;Dixon et al, 2014;Hooshangi et al, 2013;Shibata et al, 2010;Vishnevskiy et al, 2015), and is spreading to many other areas (Amadi-Echendu et al, 2011;Carvalho et al, 2013;Cheng et al, 2014;Gerdsri et al, 2009;Geum et al, 2015;Kerr et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2015b;Phaal et al, 2010;Saritas and Aylen, 2010). Moreover, some researchers have provided insight into roadmapping disruptive technologies (Amer and Daim, 2010;Carvalho et al, 2013;Daim and Oliver, 2008;Dixon et al, 2014;Furukawa et al, 2015;Kostoff et al, 2004) and assessing emerging technologies (Amer and Daim, 2010;Daim and Oliver, 2008;Furukawa et al, 2015;Huang et al, 2014;Li et al, 2015;Linton, 2004;Phaal et al, 2011;Yasunaga et al, 2009). …”

Abstract. The bibliometric technics allow us to illustrate aspects of interpretation of data obtained through data bases that are focus in science spreading, which offers an aggregated value to researchers. In this article, we explore the importance of such obtained information from articles' query; in this particular case study the Internet of Things (IoT). The obtained and preprocessed metadata is used to feed the decision tree classification (J48) algorythms, as a result of the training stage, we generated a decision tree/classification where the subjects of research are visualized within a four year time frame. The construction of this classification tree is based in entropy, thus, the order or disorder in which the subjects of research can be interpreted within a level of relevancy in the time frame mentioned. We conceived the visualization and interpretation as the state of the art for the subjects addressed for a particular case, which help researchers to infer tendencies within specific subjects of research.
