A Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on Semiconductor Nanostructures

Publications of a number of countries on semiconductor nanostructures for 2000–2016 are analyzed on a bibliometric basis. The contribution of Russian participants in the studies and the structure of international scientific ties of domestic scientists are considered in detail. The initial array of the publications was extracted from the Science Citation Index Expanded database using relevant keywords. Information to analyze patent activity was taken from the data of the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent), US PTO, and WIPO PATENTSCOPE.
