The Analysis of the Publications in the most Active Countries in Nanotechnology*
Analiza publikacija u zemljama najaktivnijim u nanotehnologiji
Abstract
Nanotechnology publications as one of the parameters of a country‘s level of nanotechnology (nanotech innovation), while nanotechnology innovations are considered the source of its competitive advantage. The country‘s competitiveness in the level of nanotechnology activity determine the total number of nanotechnology publications and the mean number of citations. In this paper, we have analyzed the scientific nanotechnology activity of the most active countries in this field (countries whose number of nanotechnology publications exceeds 1,000 annually). We used data on nanotechnology publications collected from Web of Science – WoS database and published by Nano Statistics – Nano Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard. We analyzed the trend of the total number of published nanotechnology publications, the mean number of citations trend, trend of the relations of published nanotechnology publications and gross domestic product, and the trend of relations of published nanotechnology publications and the number of residents in the surveyed countries. Based on the regression-correlation analysis, we predicted the expected value of the total number of nanotechnology publications published in 2015 for China and the United States, because these are the countries that dominate in the total number of published nanotechnology publications in the world.
Apstrakt
Nanotehnološke publikacije su jedan od parametara nivoa nanotehnološke aktivnosti zemlje (nanotehnoloških inovacija), dok se nanotehnološke inovacije smatraju izvoromnjene konkurentske prednosti. Konkurentnost zemlje u nivou nanotehnološke aktivnosti determinišu ukupan broj nanotehnoloških publikacija i srednji broj citiranosti. U ovom radu smo upravo analizirali naučnu nanotehnološku aktivnost najaktivnijih zemalja u ovom polju (zemalja čiji broj nanotehnoloških publikacija prelazi 1.000 na godišnjem nivou). Koristili smo podatke o nanotehnološkim publikacijama prikupljene iz Web of Science – WoS baze podataka i objavljenim od strane Nano Statistics – Nano Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard. Analizirali smo trend ukupnog broja objavljenih nanotehnoloških publikacija, trend srednjeg broja citiranosti, trend odnosa objavljenih nanotehnoloških publikacija i bruto domaćeg proizvoda, i trend odnosa objavljenih nanotehnoloških publikacija i broja stanovnika u posmatranim zemljama. Na osnovu izvršene regresiono-korelacione analize, predvideli smo očekivane vrednosti ukupnog broja objavljenih nanotehnoloških publikacija za 2015. godinu za Kinu i SAD, jer je reč o zemljama koje dominiraju u ukupnom broju objavljenih nanotehnoloških publikacija u svetu.
