Bibliometric and Patent Analysis of Nanotechnology A case study from the United Kingdom

This paper examines the linkage between university published research (bibliometric) in the UK and the patents granted to UK based assignees and/or inventors in the emergence of new technology, nanotechnology. Three unique data-sets based on patents, co-publications, and firm data pertaining to the unfolding field of nanotechnology in the UK have been developed. Analysis of the data would suggest a weak linkage between nanoscience and technology, notwithstanding that compared with other established fields of science and technology, nanotechnology is a science intensive field and that the multinational companies are working closely with UK academia. An organizational typology has been developed which classifies all the identified UK based companies into 4 distinct categories: academic spinouts, corporate spinouts, NTBF and MNC companies. Classifying these companies according to this typology indicates that the corporate NST community in the UK is predominantly populated by roughly equal proportions of MNC, academic spinouts, and NTBF companies. Analyzing the companies according to their technological specialization identifies that 63% of all NST companies in the UK specialize in two technologies, nanoinstruments and nanomaterials. This paper illustrates the value of the data mining in the modern bibliometric and patent databases.
