Development of carbon-based nanomaterials indicators using the analytical tools and data provided by the web of science database

Abstract

The recent rise of nanotechnology and nanomaterial research is marked by the huge amount of publications indexed in electronic databases, which can be evaluated using bibliometric indicators in order to help researchers find hidden trends, gain novel insights and support new scientific developments. Although in-depth analyses require specialized software and advanced methodologies, some initial indicators can be developed using the analytical tools available in databases and provide useful information about a specific subject or research field. This paper aims to explore the Web of Science's analytical tool for analyzing the scientific output regarding carbon-based nanomaterials. The results provide several key findings, including research trends and publications in carbon nanotubes, fullerene and graphene, as well as revealing the main global players and journals from 2001 to 2010. Despite the usefulness of the analytical tool, a number of limitations hindered the development of important indicators, such as those involving citation and collaboration.

Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials: most cited papers and research trends

“…(CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i1.1593 Due to the improvement in the resources of freely available databases, the increasing complexity of the research fields and the need for accountability in governmental spending, the use of bibliometric indicators to measure productivity in science and technology is needed. Where bibliometrics is defined as the use of statistical counting of articles, patent documents, citations, words and terms to find trends and patterns in the development of a research field (Milanez, Schiavi, Amaral, Faria, & Gregolin, 2013).…”

Carbon nanostructures: scientometric analysis for 2000-2015 (part 1)

“…Более 21% всех нано публикаций в упомянутой БД посвящены углеродным наноструктурам, которые входят в по-вестку дня трех укрупненных секторов экономики (на-ноэлектроника, нанобиотехнология, наноэнергетика), где ожидается реализация основного потенциала НТ. «Звездной триаде» (фуллерены -УНТ -графен) или отдельным ее представителям уделено внима-ние в целом ряде зарубежных наукометрических ис-следований [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Они исследовались и в соответст-вующей отечественной литературе [13][14][15].…”
