“…Focusing on the specific area of nano field, Larsen (2008) examined the knowledge structure in the field of nanostructured solar cell research by analyzing coauthorship network of countries/regions and cocitation network of journals. Liu et al (2009) analyzed the citation network of papers at institution level and compared the structure and knowledge diffusion patterns in nano field in China, Russia, and India. In addition, Liu et al (2014) used coauthorship network of researchers in nano field to investigate the structure and impact of research networking.…”

“…Various forms of network were derived in prior studies depending on the choice of analysis elements and relationship indicators. Specifically, the nodes were defined using various academic units, including patent documents (Li et al 2007;Chang et al 2010), paper documents (Rafols and Meyer 2010;Takeda et al 2009), journals (Leydesdorff and Zhou 2007;Leydesdorff 2007a, b;Larsen 2008), authors (Liu et al 2014;Rueda et al 2007), technology fields (Huang et al 2004;Li et al 2007), science fields (Porter and Youtie 2009; Rafols and Meyer 2010), institutions (Huang et al 2004;Li et al 2007;Liu et al 2009), and countries/regions (Huang et al 2004;Li et al 2007;Larsen 2008;Zheng et al 2014;Dang et al 2010). The links among academic units were specified using common measures of bibliometrics, which are citation (Huang et al 2004;Leydesdorff and Zhou 2007;Leydesdorff 2007a, b;Porter and Youtie 2009;Li et al 2007;Liu et al 2009), intercitation (Takeda et al 2009), cocitation (Larsen 2008), bibliographic coupling (Rafols and Meyer 2010), and coauthorship (Larsen 2008;Liu et al 2014;Rueda et al 2007).…”

Understanding the research trends and intellectual structure of nanoscience and nanotechnology (nano) is important for governments as well as researchers. This paper investigates the intellectual structure of nano field and explores its interdisciplinary characteristics through journal citation networks. The nano journal network, where 41 journals are nodes and citation among the journals are links, is constructed and analyzed using centrality measures and brokerage analysis. The journals that have high centrality scores are identified as important journals in terms of knowledge flow. Moreover, an intermediary role of each journal in exchanging knowledge between nano subareas is identified by brokerage analysis. Further, the nano subarea network is constructed and investigated from the macro view of nano field. This paper can provide the micro and macro views of intellectual structure of nano field and therefore help researchers who seek appropriate journals to acquire knowledge and governments who develop R&D strategies for nano.

“…Early research has suggested that nanotechnology is a general purpose technology with broad applicability throughout the economy [21].Various studies have shown that nanotechnology continues to demonstrate an overall upward trend in publication and patent activity [22][23][24][25][26][27] and its subfields [28][29][30] or in a specific country or region [31][32][33][34], the multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity of nanotechnology [35][36][37][38] , visualization of nanotechnology at discipline level [39] and the collaboration level [36,38], analysis at the individual level [40][41][42], and other topics [43][44][45].…”

-The large public scientific organizations -we call in this paper multi-institute scientific organizationsalways play important roles in the national innovation systems, and undertake basic research, applied research, some science frontier research and the research of emerging areas like nanotechnology. To examine the behaviors of these large public scientific organizations is important for monitoring the development of a nation's scientific strategy and evolutionary of science and technology. This paper focuses on five important public scientific organizations in nanotechnology, and compares their scientific behaviors. The results show that although they all develop rapidly in nanotechnology, they have different foci and different collaboration behaviors.

“…Egypt produced 5236 publications over the same period -placing this country in a leading position in N&N on the African continent. Chen et al 28 found that Russia, India and China showed rapid growth in N&N publications from 2000 to 2007 of about 12.8 times in China, 8 times in India and 1.6 times in Russia. What is apparent is that N&N is growing very rapidly while the growth in South Africa has been recorded to be below that of other countries.…”

ARTICLE INCLUDES:× Supplementary material × Data set FUNDING:None Nanotechnology is a fast-growing scientific research area internationally and is classified as an important emerging research area. In response to this importance, South African researchers and institutions have also increased their efforts in this area. A bibliometric study of articles as indexed in the Web of Science considered the development in this field with respect to the growth in literature, collaboration profile and the research areas that are more within the country's context. We also looked at public institutions that are more active in this arena, including government policy considerations as guided by the National Nanotechnology Strategy launched in 2005. We found that the number of nanotechnology publications have shown a remarkable growth ever since the launch of the strategy. Articles on nanotechnology have been published in numerous journals, with Electrochimica Acta publishing the most, followed by Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. These publications fall within the traditional domains of chemistry and physics. In terms of the institutional profile and based on publication outputs over the period reviewed, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is a leading producer of publications in nanotechnology, followed by the University of the Witwatersrand -institutions that are both based in the Gauteng Province. There is a high level of international collaboration with different countries within this field -the most productive collaboration is with India, followed by the USA and China, as measured through co-authorship. Significance:• Nanotechnology as a field of research is experiencing rapid growth and there is a need to understand progress from a South African perspective. IntroductionInnovations linked to science and technology developments are believed to be promising contributors to economic progress internationally. In response to this promise, South Africa adopted the National Research and Development Strategy 1 in 2002 to enable the transition from a resource-based economy to a knowledge economy, which was followed by the Ten-Year Innovation Plan towards a knowledge-based economy 2 . This strategy was viewed as pivotal to the achievement of national goals, including enhanced economic growth, industrial competitiveness, as well as social and developmental aspirations.3 To this end, a number of targeted interventions and investments were made in specific fields of science, one of which was nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) is now widely recognised as an area of science and technology that promises to bring many scientific breakthroughs in the coming years, which will have a meaningful impact on the economy. According to Lux Research 4 , the revenue from nano-enabled products worldwide as of 2014 stood at USD1.6 trillion -a growth of 90% in 2 years from USD850 billion in 2012. The application of nanomaterials occurs in many industries such as cosmetics, construction and electronics. It is i...
