Nanotechnology Research and Innovation in Russia: A Bibliometric Analysis

Bridging centrality as an indicator to measure the ‘bridging role’ of actors in networks: An application to the European Nanotechnology co-publication network

“…For instance, the Russian Academy of Science -that has the highest degree centrality of all organisations -does not come up at rank 6. The high ranking of the Russian Academy is not surprising, given its high Nanotechnology publication intensity and immense growth in recent years, meanwhile belonging to the most important producers of knowledge related to Nanotechnology (see Karaulova, Shackleton, Gok, Kotsemir, & Shapira, 2014). 9 Note that firms do not appear under the Top-100 for the BC measure which is not that surprising since we are looking at scientific publications.…”
