Scientific development in nanotechnology for agribusiness: bibliometric indicators of scientific production from the Web of Science (2001-2010)
Keywords:
Nanotechnology. Agribusiness. Bibliometrics. Scientific indicators.Abstract
Examines scientific activity in nanotechnology and agribusiness and the objective is to develop scientific indicators through bibliometrics as a method of analyzing information. We carried out the recovery of articles indexed in the Web of Science from 2001 to 2010 on nanotechnology and agribusiness, and the construction of bibliometric indicators. As for the scientific, the growth was significant, showing steady increase in the number of publications in the area. The results indicate that the United States and China are the leaders in research, and knowledge areas of emphasis, Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Sciences. As subjects of interest have: Pesticides, Water Sensors and Biosensors, and Solo. The journals with the highest number of Biosensors and Bioelectronics were publications and Analytica Chimica Acta. The research contributes to the construction of scientific knowledge on nanotechnology for agribusiness, bibliometrics is an essential tool to quantify the results in any area of science knowledge.Downloads
