Abstract

Carbon nanostructures are the important component of nanotechnology (NT) become as the first global scientific and technological initiative of the 21st century. The article presents a bibliometric analysis of development of the carbon direction of NT in the period of 2000–2015, including an international dimension. The source of information was the Science Citation Index Expanded database. The shift of the world research center to the Asian region is shown, both in terms of volume and quality indicators; the dynamics of scientific influence of two groups of countries – conditionally «incumbents» and «newcomers» – has been studied. Due to the strong skewness of citation distributions, preference in the analysis is given to the percentile-based indicators, such as: the contribution of a country to the world top-10% (top-1%) segment of the most highly cited publications, the share of such publications in the country’s total output, the highly cited papers index, etc. Relying on them, the scientific «offensive» of the «newcomer» countries on the «incumbents» (eg, of China on the USA, of South Korea on Germany, of Iran on Russia) as well as phenomenon of Singapore as an effective producer of highly cited publications on the carbon nanostructures were presented more fully. The positions of Russia have been studied in more detail, the main domestic research participants have been determined, and on the basis of bibliometric criteria the center of scientific excellence in the field of graphene has been identified.
