基于文献计量分析的纳米科学技术发展趋势
摘要
Based on the published papers in nanotechnology from 2003 to 2013, we quantitatively analyzed the current status of nanotechnology development from different aspects including fundamental research, technology development, hotspots and other characteristics of the development trends by using bibliometric methods. We also performed the comprehensive analyses to compare the domestic and international status of the nanotechnology development. The results provided the scientific basis for the decision-maker in making the national strategy for frontier nanotechnologies. The results showed that the nanotechnology development in China was rapid, the annual publications increased dramatically. Nevertheless, compared with United States and some European countries, China still has a gap in the average citation per paper, the number of publications in top journals, the high quality publications, etc. In addition, the research on the some subtopics that were hot topics in United States and Europe were not enough in China, like drug delivery, structural nanomaterials, etc. The present findings might provide scientific bases for China's decision-making for the frontiers in sciences and nanotechnology development.
