| Description: | Nano-Enabled Drug Delivery ("NEDD") systems are rapidly emerging as a key nano application area. NEDD offers promise in addressing pharmaceutical industry challenges concerning solubility, cost-reduction, disease & organ targeting, and patent lifecycle extension. This study compares NEDD research patterns for the US vs. China by profiling data compiled by a multi-component search strategy in Web of Science. We present a range of analyses to address research activity trends, concentration differences, and collaboration networks corresponding to three characteristics of "New and Emerging Science & Technologies," for which NEDD represents a consequential case. It can help researchers and research managers understand the current status and future prospects of an emerging scientific or medical field. Such profiling of database search results can offer global insights to help discern main research trajectories, key players, and promising new shoots. © AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Vienna 2013. |
