| Title: | How Interdisciplinary is Nano? |
| Alternative Title: | Locating Nanotechnology Among the Disciplines |
| Author: | Porter, Alan L. |
| Abstract: | Nanotechnology is commonly viewed as being multidisciplinary, although several studies of the multidisciplinary characteristics of nanotechnology find the term to be an umbrella expression for what in fact are unconnected fields. Alan Porter will present results from his recent work which draws on a database of nearly 500,000 nanoscience and engineering publications. His results locate nanotechnology amidst materials science, physics, and chemistry. By focusing on the cited references in these articles, he shows that nanotechnology articles cite on a diverse range of disciplinary areas. |
