“…Tian et al (2008) used the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database to measure scientific output of the field of Geographic Information System (GIS) using keywords. Similar approaches have been made to map knowledge evolution in other fields, such as software engineering (Coulter et al 1998), chemistry (Callon et al 1991), scientometrics (Courtial 1994), neural network research (Noyons and Van Raan 1998;Van Raan and Tijssen 1993), biological safety (Cambrosio et al 1993), optomechatronics (Noyons and Van Raan 1994), bioeletronics (Hinze 1994), adverse drug reactions (Rikken et al 1995;Clarke et al 2007), biotechnology (Rip and Courtial 1984;De Looze and Lemarié 1997), environmental science (Ho 2007), condensed matter physics (Bhattacharya and Basu 1998), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), tsunami (Chiu et al 2004;Chiu and Ho 2007), and Parkinson's disease (Li et al 2008).…”

Mapping knowledge structure by keyword co-occurrence: a first look at journal papers in Technology Foresight

2010

This study proposes an approach for visualizing a knowledge structure, the proposed approach creates a three-dimensional ''Research focused parallelship network'', a ''Keyword Co-occurrence Network'', and a two-dimensional knowledge map to facilitate visualization of the knowledge structure created by journal papers from different perspectives. The networks and knowledge maps can be depicted differently by choosing different information as the network actor, e.g. author, institute or country keyword, to reflect knowledge structures in micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, respectively. Technology Foresight is selected as an example to illustrate the method proposed in this study. A total of 556 author keywords contained in 181 Technology Foresight related papers have been analyzed. European countries, China, India and Brazil are located at the core of Technology Foresight research. Quantitative ways of mapping journal papers are investigated in this study to unveil emerging elements as well as to demonstrate dynamics and visualization of knowledge. The quantitative method provided in this paper shows a possible way of visualizing and evaluating knowledge structure; thus a computerized calculation is possible for potential quantitative applications, e.g. R&D resource allocation, research performance evaluation, science map, etc.

“…In this paper, the low-dimensional space is referred to as a concept map and only two-dimensional concept maps are considered. In many studies, 9,10,12,13 the fifth step in the process of bibliometric mapping is performed using the method of multidimensional scaling. 8 However, it is our experience that multidimensional scaling does not always provide satisfactory results when it is used for bibliometric mapping.…”

In this paper, a bibliometric study of the computational intelligence field is presented. Bibliometric maps showing the associations between the main concepts in the field are provided for the periods 1996-2000 and 2001-2005. Both the current structure of the field and the evolution of the field over the last decade are analyzed. In addition, a number of emerging areas in the field are identified. It turns out that computational intelligence can best be seen as a field that is structured around four important types of problems, namely control problems, classification problems, regression problems, and optimization problems. Within the computational intelligence field, the neural networks and fuzzy systems subfields are fairly intertwined, whereas the evolutionary computation subfield has a relatively independent position.

This study aims to obtain global overview on electrical conducting polymer nanocomposite development along time horizon as well as to obtain dynamic and quantitative exploration on technology evolution mechanism, a total of 1421 electrical conducting polymer related nanocomposite patents are retrieved from USPTO patent database and patent citation network is generated by combing both patent citation and social network analysis. A patent citation network can therefore be visually obtained and network properties, e.g. degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, representing several technology evolution mechanisms are calculated. Each patent can be positioned at a specific location of the patent citation network and technology evolution mechanisms for each patent can be quantitatively analyzed.
