Measuring Patent-Citations of LIS Literature: An analytical study of the Journal Scientometrics

The purpose of this study is to analyse the utility and application of Library and Information Science (LIS) research in patents representing innovations, inventions and new knowledge. With this research, we have tried to bridge a gap between LIS research and patents, which is unavailable to date in the literature. To conduct the study, various patent search databases were used. Data in the form of DOIs were extracted from the Scopus database for the journal Scientometrics and were processed and analysed in visualisation software and spreadsheet software. The findings reveal how industries filing patents derive valuable inputs from LIS research in terms of its utilization, recognition and acceptance. This research paper will enhance the understanding regarding Library and information science, what is its value in Research and Development (R&D). Normally, it is believed that only STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Medical) research is fruitful for patents and innovations. The study breaks the glass ceiling as it provides an evidence-based approach to justify the LIS research does play a crucial role in the growth, development and progress of the society through its existence and proven integration with the patents. The findings reveal that LIS research is influencing Patents as they are being cited regularly with the growth in this discipline

Supercomputers and Quantum Computing on the Axis of Cyber Security

Cybersecurity has become a very critical area to address for governments, industry and the academic community. Cyber attacks are on the rise so is research to address the challenges presented by these attacks. Research yields several technological advancements. This paper explores the development of quantum computing and supercomputers within the context of cybersecurity. As many governments and organizations are under the threat of cyber-attacks, it is critical and timely to explore the status of technological development. We use advanced scientometric techniques to disclose the development status and identify the centers of excellence. The research uses bibliometric data of published papers and utilizes an integration of scientometric methods including social network analysis, entropy analysis, cluster analysis, overlay maps and knowledge diffusion analysis as well as keyword and source analyses

El sector biotecnológico en el marco del sistema público español de I+D : una aproximación cienciométrica

La presente tesis doctoral analiza el ámbito biotecnológico español en el marco del sistema público de I+D, con el fin de definir cuáles son sus fortalezas y debilidades del sector y proponer aquellas actuaciones que se consideran necesarias para mejorar la eficiencia del sistema público de I+D y su contribución a la biotecnología. Este análisis se ha llevado a cabo mediante una aproximación cienciométrica. La Cienciometría es una disciplina que permite estudiar la eficacia de las políticas científicas y la dinámica de la ciencia mediante el empleo de la bibliometría, la estadística y otras técnicas de análisis. Los estudios cienciométricos ayudan a valorar el estado actual de la ciencia y sus resultados permiten apoyar la toma de decisiones sobre la distribución de los recursos disponibles en I+D
