Supplemental Materials to the article on "Emergence Scoring to Identify Frontier R&D Topics and Key Players"
Measuring the Interdisciplinarity of Nano-Biosensor Research based on Citation Analysis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16)
This research introduces a methodology that combines analysis of cited literature and cited patents to explore differences and similarities between nano-biosensor (NBS) science and technology.
Assessing the Human and Social Dynamics Program—Exceptional Cross-disciplinarity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16)
This paper presents an analysis of the cross-disciplinary character of the research supported by a unique US National Science Foundation program on Human and Social Dynamics (HSD). Measurement and mapping of the research ...
Diffusion Score: Introducing a Counterpart to the Integration Score
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16)
The diffusion score is a new interdisciplinary metric used to assess the degree to which research is cited across disciplines. It is the analogue to the Integration score that measures diversity among a given publication ...
Nanotechnology Aggregation or Integration: The Case of Kinesin
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-02)
Several studies have examined the multidisciplinary characteristics of nanotechnology. Most of these studies have drawn on data from publication or patent databases. These "top-down" approaches (which themselves reflect ...
Locating Nanotechnology Among the Disciplines
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-02)
Nanoscience and nanotechnology ("nano") has been described as the ultimate interdisciplinary research area. Mihail Roco and others have set forth policy discourse through their notion that nano enables the convergence of ...
The Use of IDR Metrics to Chart Research Trajectories at the Micro Level
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-17)
This work focuses on two laboratories to understand the extent to which interdisciplinary research (IDR) metrics reflect research behaviors. The results indicate a statistically significant relationship between the level ...
Organizing a Multidisciplinary Workshop for Forecasting Innovation Pathways: the Case of Nano-Enabled Biosensors
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-17)
This paper reflects on attributes of a workshop on biosensor innovation pathways. Workshop visuals showing multiple interconnections resonated less with the scientist participants than those presenting more linear and ...
A Systematic Technology Forecasting Approach for New and Emerging Science and Technology: Case Study of Nano-Enhanced Biosensors
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-02)
This paper addresses the topic of anticipating likely development paths for a particular "New and Emerging Science & Technology" (NES&T). Characteristics of NES&T -- technological uncertainty and contextual dynamics -- ...
Validating Measures of Interdisciplinarity: Linking Bibliometric Measures to Ethnographic Studies of Engineering Research Labs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-15)
This paper reflects the results to date of an ongoing project that is examining how the results of specific examples of interdisciplinary research are reflected in scholarly publications over time. We seek to compare ...
