“…This indicates nanotechnology research in China is strongly based in the fields of materials science, physics, and chemistry. In turn, this mirrors the traditional specialization of the overall Chinese research base in physical and engineering sciences (Kostoff et al 2007a). …”

“…Between 2007, Chinese governmental spending on nanotechnology R&D was estimated to be comparable (on a Purchasing Power Parity basis) to that of US federal government (Cientifica 2009). China is now the world's second largest contributor of scientific publications worldwide in the nanotechnology domain (Kostoff et al 2006(Kostoff et al , 2007aZhou and Leydesdorff 2006), the citation quality of Chinese nanotechnology publications is rising , and Chinese researchers are making noticeable inroads in both authorship and editorial roles in leading nanotechnology journals (Braun et al 2007). …”

China is becoming a leading nation in terms of its share of the world's publications in the emerging nanotechnology domain. This paper demonstrates that the international rise of China's position in nanotechnology has been underwritten by the emergence of a series of regional hubs of nanotechnology R&D activity within the country. We develop a unique database of Chinese nanotechnology articles covering the period 1990 to mid-2006 to identify the regional distribution of nanotechnology research in China. To build this database, a new approach was developed to clean and standardize the geographical allocation of Chinese publication records. We then analyze the data to understand the regional development of nanotechnology research in China over our study period and to map interregional and international research collaboration linkages. We find that the geographical distribution of China's domestic nanotechnology research is characterized by regional imbalance, with most of the leading regions located in eastern China, including not only Beijing and Shanghai but also a series of other new regional hubs. There is much less development of nanotechnology research in central and western China. Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are among the leading Chinese regions for international nanotechnology research collaboration. Other Chinese nanotechnology regions are less focused on international collaboration, although they have developed domestic interregional collaborations. Although new regional research hubs have emerged in the nanotechnology domain, the paper notes that their concentration in eastern China reinforces existing imbalances in science and technology capabilities in China, and in turn this may further reinforce the dominant position of eastern China in the commercialization of new technologies such as nanotechnology.

“…Their science and technology policy has evolved from solely supporting technological development in manufacturing industries towards strengthening the role of national science and technology institutions to support knowledge-based economic development (Asgari & Wong, 2007;Ha, 2007;Kostoff et al, 2007;Lee, 2007;Lundvall, Intarakumnerd, & Vang, 2006;Mazzoleni & Nelson, 2007;Nagano, 2006;Wong, Thirucelvam, & Ratnavelu, 2010;Wonglimpiyarat, 2007;Zhou & Leydesdorff, 2006).…”

“…In the transition to develop a knowledge-based economy, developing economies such as China, Malaysia and Thailand have placed emphasis on upstream activities, attempted to raise national investments in R&D and the number of researchers since the 1990s to develop their science and technological system (Asgari & Wong, 2007;Kostoff et al, 2007;MASTIC, 2003;MOSTI, 2004;Zhou & Leydesdorff, 2006). For the case of newly industrialized countries (NIEs), South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, there is optimism that these economies will successfully shift their current economic paradigm to post-industrial knowledge-based economy as their economic growth increasingly shifts towards sectors that incorporate high technology manufacturing and knowledge-intensive business services.…”

“…In a previous series of papers and reports [5][6][7][8][9][10] , an assessment of Indias open literature in science and technology was done. It was shown that, for the 15 year period from 1980 to 1995, Indias growth in the open literature remained stagnant, but in the decade since 1995, it has started to increase.…”

A proof-of-principle demonstration for extracting military-related technologies from a countrys total technology publications has been performed, and applied to the Indian science and technology literature # . The method is general and can be applied to the extraction of any meta-category (e.g., intelligence-relevant technologies, infrastructure-relevant technologies, etc) which is not easily obtained from document clustering or factor analysis. The methodology for identifying relevant literature on military science appears to provide credible results. The volume of literature retrieved will vary depending on how strongly relevant is the desired literature. For the same definitions of military relevant, the volume of Indias literature in the Ei Compendex database was an order of magnitude less than that of the USA or China.
