摘要:

整合现有知识对于创新、发现和产生新想法至关重要。通过研究和发明生产知识是科学技术发展的关键。作为一项新兴技术,纳米技术已经证明了其对全球经济的巨大潜力,吸引了大量的联邦投资。据报告,加拿大是开展纳米技术研究的主要国家之一。在本文中,我们集中在知识生产和扩散的主要驱动力,通过分析加拿大纳米技术研究人员。我们假设,在加拿大纳米技术的知识生产是由三个关键的邻近因素,即认知,地理和协作的影响。利用统计分析、社会网络分析和机器学习技术,我们全面评估了邻近因素对学术知识生产的影响。我们的研究结果不仅证明了这三个关键的邻近因素的显着影响,但它们的预测潜力。

英文摘要:

Incorporating existing knowledge is vital for innovating, discovering, and generating new ideas. Knowledge production through research and invention is the key to scientific and technological development. As an emerging technology, nanotechnology has already proved its great potential for the global economy, attracting considerable federal investments. Canada is reported as one of the major players in producing nanotechnology research. In this paper, we focused on the main drivers of knowledge production and diffusion by analyzing Canadian nanotechnology researchers. We hypothesized that knowledge production in Canadian nanotechnology is influenced by three key proximity factors, namely cognitive, geographical, and collaborative. Using statistical analysis, social network analysis, and machine learning techniques we comprehensively assessed the influence of the proximity factors on academic knowledge production. Our results not only prove a significant impact of the three key proximity factors but also their predictive potential.
