A review of information resources on nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomaterials

  • Published:
Scientific and Technical Information Processing Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of information on nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomaterials (NSTM). It reviews major electronic expert information and analytical resources that can be used to search for NSTM-related information and for the related thematic and bibliometric analysis. The overview primarily covers the resources that are available in Russia, such as the Web of Science, Scopus, SciFinder, STN International, RSCI, etc., as well as patent databases. An annotated list of resources is complied. Strategies, methods, and results of NSTM data retrieval are discussed.
