Nanotechnology Research and Innovation in Russia: A Bibliometric Analysis

Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2521012 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2521012This working paper presents findings from analyses of Russian nanotechnology outputs in publications and patents focusing on developments over the period 1990 through to 2012. The investigation draws on bibliometric datasets of scientific journal publications and patents and on available secondary English-language and Russian sources.The document provides both an overview and detailed analyses of nanotechnology research and innovation in Russia. The examination of publications highlights sectoral trends, leading authors and organizations, and acknowledgements to funding sources. The analysis of patents adds further evidence about patterns of invention and ownership of intellectual property emanating from research and development in Russian nanotechnology.The analyses in this paper have been undertaken to provide an information base for further research on the current state and trajectory of nanotechnology in Russia and on the broader development of Russia’s innovation system. Comparisons with Chinese publication and patent outputs can be seen in a parallel report on Nanotechnology Research and Innovation in China (2014).Notes: This work was supported by the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number ES/J012785/1] as part of the project Emerging Technologies, Trajectories and Implications of Next Generation Innovation Systems Development in China and Russia.Karaulova, Maria and Shackleton, Oliver and Gok, Abdullah and Kotsemir, Maxim Nikolaevich and Shapira, Philip, Nanotechnology Research and Innovation in Russia: A Bibliometric Analysis (October 27, 2014).
