EAGER:Unveiling Trends in Global Nanotechnology Research and Development

纳米技术是一个基础研究领域，它有望在日常生活中带来广泛的革命性应用。在纳米技术30年的发展历程中，在不同的国家和机构以及不同的研究方向上，纳米技术的研究和发展经历了快速但不均衡的进展。纳米技术研究领域的最新动态和引起这些变化的因素引起了纳米技术研究人员和决策者的兴趣。本研究建议对新兴国家和机构的纳米技术论文和专利出版物应用书目分析、引文分析和内容分析方法，揭示研究重点和产出的变化。此外，还将进行深入分析，以量化公共资金和知识传播在这些国家/机构中的影响。纳米技术的发展。建议的工作将引起人们对可能对纳米技术领域产生长期影响的特殊区域和领域的关注，并扩展我们对导致成功的重要因素的理解。吸取的经验教训将帮助决策者，例如政府、资助机构和其他感兴趣的团体，制定出在纳米技术研发方面取得卓越成就的战略。该框架可以应用于其他快速变化的研究领域进行类似的研究。在此过程中开发的分析方法和可视化技术也可用于纳米技术专业学生的教育。

Nanotechnology is a fundamental research area that holds the promise of revolutionizing a wide range of significant applications for everyday life. In the 30-year history of nanotechnology, its research and development has experienced rapid but uneven progress in different countries and institutions as well as research directions. The recent dynamics of the nanotechnology research landscape and the factors that have caused these changes are of the interest to nanotechnology researchers and policy makers. This research proposes to apply bibliographic analysis, citation analysis, and content analysis methods on the paper and patent publications of emerging countries and institutions in nanotechnology to unveil changes in research focus and outputs. In addition, in-depth analysis will also be conducted to quantify the effects of public funding and knowledge diffusion in these countries/institutions? development of nanotechnology. The proposed work will draw attention to the exceptional regions and areas that may have a long term impact on the nanotechnology field and extend our understanding of the important factors leading to success. Lessons learned will help policy makers, such as governments, funding agencies, and other interested parties to devise strategies for excellence in nanotechnology research and development. The proposed framework can be applied to other rapidly changing research fields for similar studies. The analytical methods and visualization techniques developed in this process could also be used in the education of students majoring in nanotechnology.
