“…12 Bibliometrics is defined as the application of mathematics and statistical methods to communication media. Bibliometrics have been used extensively to evaluate research progress quantitatively, for example in studying research output for specific countries [13][14][15] in a continent or a region such as Africa or southern Africa 16,17 or sometimes for a research discipline such as nanotechnology 9,18 or even a single institution 19 . One problem identified in bibliometric research is the classification and delineation of fields, for example, for new and emerging areas like biotechnology and nanotechnology the definitions differ among different application areas, including which areas it encompasses.…”

ARTICLE INCLUDES:× Supplementary material × Data set FUNDING:None Nanotechnology is a fast-growing scientific research area internationally and is classified as an important emerging research area. In response to this importance, South African researchers and institutions have also increased their efforts in this area. A bibliometric study of articles as indexed in the Web of Science considered the development in this field with respect to the growth in literature, collaboration profile and the research areas that are more within the country's context. We also looked at public institutions that are more active in this arena, including government policy considerations as guided by the National Nanotechnology Strategy launched in 2005. We found that the number of nanotechnology publications have shown a remarkable growth ever since the launch of the strategy. Articles on nanotechnology have been published in numerous journals, with Electrochimica Acta publishing the most, followed by Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. These publications fall within the traditional domains of chemistry and physics. In terms of the institutional profile and based on publication outputs over the period reviewed, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is a leading producer of publications in nanotechnology, followed by the University of the Witwatersrand -institutions that are both based in the Gauteng Province. There is a high level of international collaboration with different countries within this field -the most productive collaboration is with India, followed by the USA and China, as measured through co-authorship. Significance:• Nanotechnology as a field of research is experiencing rapid growth and there is a need to understand progress from a South African perspective. IntroductionInnovations linked to science and technology developments are believed to be promising contributors to economic progress internationally. In response to this promise, South Africa adopted the National Research and Development Strategy 1 in 2002 to enable the transition from a resource-based economy to a knowledge economy, which was followed by the Ten-Year Innovation Plan towards a knowledge-based economy 2 . This strategy was viewed as pivotal to the achievement of national goals, including enhanced economic growth, industrial competitiveness, as well as social and developmental aspirations.3 To this end, a number of targeted interventions and investments were made in specific fields of science, one of which was nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) is now widely recognised as an area of science and technology that promises to bring many scientific breakthroughs in the coming years, which will have a meaningful impact on the economy. According to Lux Research 4 , the revenue from nano-enabled products worldwide as of 2014 stood at USD1.6 trillion -a growth of 90% in 2 years from USD850 billion in 2012. The application of nanomaterials occurs in many industries such as cosmetics, construction and electronics. It is i...

“…Some scholars based their work on the perspective of influencing factors to study the influence of knowledge diffusion in a network. For example, the regression analyses of Xie et al [9] and Darvish [10] found that network structure indexes such as network scale and connection strength have a positive impact on knowledge diffusion. Chen et al [11] , Mao et al [12] and Havakhor et al [13] conducted simulation analyses and found that the main ability, spatial relevance and knowledge role distribution of a network have an important impact on the knowledge diffusion process.…”

With the weighted scale-free cooperative innovation network of industry-university-research established by the weighted evolutionary BBV model as the research object, based on the interaction between knowledge innovation diffusion and network structure, a corresponding model of knowledge innovation diffusion is constructed. By using complex network theory and simulation analysis methods, the evolution law of knowledge innovation diffusion in the industry-university-research cooperative innovation network is analyzed. The results show that the overall knowledge level of the industry-university-research cooperative innovation network shows a rapid growth trend, and the growth rate of knowledge shows a changing trend of slowing first and then increasing abruptly; the greater the degree of the innovator, the higher its knowledge level; the more stable the cooperative relationships between innovator, and the stronger its knowledge diffusion ability; the knowledge diffusion mode and network structure are the reasons for the emergence of sudden changes in the network; the knowledge diffusion constraints and network structure are the keys to knowledge innovation and diffusion; with the passage of time, the knowledge level differentiation among innovators gradually increases, and the role of hub institutions in knowledge innovation diffusion becomes increasingly prominent.

“…There have been many efforts to characterize the nature of knowledge flow from multiple perspectives of detail, namely: among scientists [6,7], among patents [3,8], among patents and journals [9][10][11], among journals [12][13][14], among disciplines [15,16], among institutions [17], and among countries [18][19][20], etc. The prior researches provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature of knowledge flow; in particular, enrich the potential utility of analyzing its processes.…”

“…Social network can establish connections among researchers and plays a facilitative part in enhancing knowledge flow [14,23]. Social network analysis is a powerful means to investigate the interactions and patterns of knowledge flows among group members [20]. Identifying the significance of nodes in the network is a classical topic in the field of informetrics [7,24,25].…”

This paper aims to mine the key nodes in the process of knowledge flow from literatures of science and technology journals to technology patents on the community level. Based on the citation of technological patents to literatures of scientific journals and the cooperation among the researchers, this paper builds the knowledge flow network from the angle of spatial dimension. Then employing the extensity centrality-Newman and the commonly used degree indexes, this paper excavates and analyses the nodes which occupy important positions among communities in the knowledge flow network. After that, this paper puts forward suggestions on how to make full use of the key nodes' role of bridge to promote knowledge flow from literatures of science and technology journals to technology patents.
