Nano-enabled drug delivery: A research profile
Archive ouverte
International audience. Nano-enabled drug delivery (NEDD) systems are rapidly emerging as a key area for nanotechnology application. Understanding thestatus and developmental prospects of this area around the world is important to determine research priorities, and to evaluate and directprogress. Global research publication and patent databases provide a reservoir of information that can be tapped to provide intelligence forsuch needs. Here, we present a process to allow for extraction of NEDD-related information from these databases by involving topicalexperts. This process incorporates in-depth analysis of NEDD literature review papers to identify key subsystems and major topics. We thenuse these to structure global analysis of NEDD research topical trends and collaborative patterns, inform future innovation directions.
