In addition, bibliometric and social network analysis is introduced and adopted in the field of nanoinformatics to identify collaboration networks and developmental patterns of nano-enabled drug delivery

We also proposed an automatic information extraction system called “NaDevEx” (Nanocrystal Device Automatic Information Extraction Framework). NaDevEx aims at extracting information from research papers on nanocrystal devices

• on these results, we discuss future research plans for improving the performance of the system. Keywords: annotated corpus; automatic information extraction; nanocrystal device development; nanoinformatics; text mining; Introduction Nanoscale research is a rapidly progressing domain and many

In addition, in the discussion of constructing NaDev corpus, we found that the paper type (i.e., synthesis or characterization) affected the style of writing, so the information extraction
