Abstract

[Purpose/significance] This research is aimed to create a global science map of ESI Research Fronts.Based on this map, we creates science map of nano research fronts in the view of globalization, and analyzes the research performance of China in the world. [Method/process] Science maps are visualized using OpenOrd layout algorithm by calculating the relationship of research fronts. Then the research front groupsare automatically identified according to the position of the research fronts in the map.We creates the global science map of nano research fronts combined selecting nanofronts with expert interpretation. [Result/conclusion] The result shows that the science structure revealed by science map of ESI Research Frontsis consistent with the previous mapping of science, and it can effectively reflect the distribution of science fronts. This research compared the differences of the advantages and the research focus between China and USA in view of the overlaying map of country's shares of research papers.Combined with expert analysis,the results have applied to the report of analysis of nano research fronts.
