@article { , title = {Research network emergence: Societal issues in nanotechnology and the center for nanotechnology in society}, abstract = {© The Author(s) 2018. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. This article looks at the creation of a network of researchers of social issues in nanotechnology and the role of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU) in the creation of this network. The extent to which CNS-ASU is associated with the development of a research network around the study of social issues in nanotechnology is examined through geographic mapping of co-authors and citations of center publications, network analysis of co-authors of papers on social issues in nanotechnology, and a disciplinary analysis of these papers. The results indicate that there is an extensive network of co-authorships among researchers studying social issues in nanotechnology with CNS-ASU at the center of this network. In addition, papers written by center members and affiliates integrate a diverse range of disciplines. Qualitative data are used to interpret some of the ways that citation occurs.}, doi = {10.1093/scipol/scy043}, issn = {0302-3427}, issue = {1}, journal = {Science and Public Policy}, pages = {126-135}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Oxford University Press (OUP)}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/852758}, volume = {46}, keyword = {Social Science Research Group, Formerly Health & Social Sciences, research network, societal issues, nanotechnology, center for nanotechnology society}, year = {2019}, author = {Youtie, Jan and Shapira, Philip and Reinsborough, Michael and Fisher, Erik} }
