ScientometricsMapping the backbone of science
952 Citations2005Kevin W. Boyack, Richard Klavans +1 more
A new map representing the structure of all of science, based on journal articles, is presented, including both the natural and social sciences, including biochemistry, which appears as the most interdisciplinary discipline in science.

ScientometricsMeasuring researcher interdisciplinarity
398 Citations2007Alan L. Porter, Alex S. Cohen +2 more
Two metrics that together help gauge how interdisciplinary a body of research is are offered, which draw upon Web of Knowledge Subject Categories (SCs) as key units of analysis.
ScientometricsMultidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and patterns of research collaboration in nanoscience and nanotechnology
394 Citations2004Joachim Schummer
It is argued that current nanoscale research reveals no particular patterns and degrees of interdisciplinarity and that its apparent multidisciplinary fields consists of different largely mono-disciplinary fields which are rather unrelated to each other and which hardly share more than the prefix “nano”.
Journal of Nanoparticle ResearchRefining search terms for nanotechnology
359 Citations2007Alan L. Porter, Jan Youtie +2 more
This research introduces a modularized Boolean approach to defining nanotechnology which has been applied to several research and patenting databases and implications for search strategy development and profiling of the nanotechnology field are discussed.
Journal of Nanoparticle ResearchHow interdisciplinary is nanotechnology?
213 Citations2009Alan L. Porter, Jan Youtie
The nature of cross-disciplinary linkages is addressed using “science overlay maps” of articles, and their references, that have been categorized into subject categories to suggest that nanotechnology research encompasses multiple disciplines that draw knowledge from disciplinarily diverse knowledge sources.

102 Citations2007Martin Meyer
It is suggested that N&N is often misconstrued as either a field of technology or an area of (broadly) converging technologies while evidence to date suggests rather that N &N be considered a set of inter-related and overlapping about not necessarily merging technologies.
Journal of Nanoparticle ResearchPossibilities for global governance of converging technologies
85 Citations2007Mihail C. Roco
This paper suggests creating a multidisciplinary forum or a consultative coordinating group with members from various countries to address globally governance of converging, emerging technologies and suggests possibilities for a global approach.
Journal of Nanoparticle ResearchTechnical structure of the global nanoscience and nanotechnology literature
55 Citations2007Ronald N. Kostoff, Raymond G. Koytcheff +1 more
Text mining was used to extract technical intelligence from the open source global nanotechnology and nanoscience research literature and the technical structure (taxonomy) was obtained using computational linguistics/document clustering and factor analysis.
ScientometricsInterdisciplinary information input and output of a nano-technology project
31 Citations2003Hajime Etô
This study will attempt to complement the governmentally stipulated evaluation method with a bibliometric one and analyse how interdisciplinary information was used as input and was published as output by a national project of Japan for nano-technology.
Structure of the Global Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Literature
25 Citations2006Ronald N. Kostoff, Ray Koytcheff +1 more
Text mining was used to extract technical intelligence from the open source global nanotechnology and nanoscience research literature to provide technical thrust areas based on phrase relations due to the sharing of common co-occurring phrases.

A comparative analysis of bibliometric search strategies that these studies use to harvest publication and patent data related to nanoscience and technology find that Mogoutov and Kahane (2007), with their evolutionary lexical query search strategy, extract the highest number of records from the Web of Science.
