• go well beyond journal impact factors. Results offer useful technical intelligence to help researchers identify potential collaborators and to help inform R&D management and science & innovation policy for such nanotechnologies. Keywords: bibliometrics; brain cancer; collaboration network; nano

• background on NEDD for brain cancer research. In the second part, search strategy and data are introduced. We focus on the scientific activity and collaboration network at the country, institution, and individual levels in the third section. In the conclusion, we make a brief summary of the research findings
