Abstract :
Nanotechnology is one of the rapidly emerging technologies over the past few decades. This paper aims to illustrate a picture of the research and development efforts in nanotechnology in Canada. This study first explains how information technology has been employed in the data collection process for emerging technologies where the clear scope or boundary has not been established, and collects detailed data on journal publications of nanoscience research in Canada from the ISI Web of Science database.
