国外纳米技术伦理与社会研究的兴起与发展

The Emergence and Development of the International Ethic and Social Studies of Nano Science and Technololgy

为真实反映国外纳米技术伦理及社会问题研究的兴起与发展现状,借助信息可视化技术和科学知识图谱,清晰地展示了国外纳米技术伦理与社会研究的发展现状、高影响力学术群体以及热点研究领域,以期为中国纳米技术伦理与社会问题的研究者们了解国外动态、选择研究方向提供参考。国外纳米伦理与社会研究经过20年的发展,形成了以Roco M和Bainbridge WS为核心、以Drexler KE、SchummerJ、KuzmaJ、Maynard AD和RipA等为代表的6个高影响力作者群体,聚焦于5个热点研究领域,最为核心的研究热点领域是从1991年开始兴起的纳米尺度下会聚技术的伦理、法律、宗教、教育与社会问题及其全球治理研究。国际社会纳米伦理与社会研究从2001年开始迅速发展,但中国的相关研究则刚刚开始,在国际上几乎没有"声音",这与中国纳米科学研究在国际上的领先地位是极其不相称的。

In order to present the emergence and development of the ethic and social studies of Nano science and technology, the authors uses information visualization technology and mapping of science to show ongoing state of international ethic and social studies of Nano science, including the most influential academic groups and hot-topics. Through 20 years development, the ethic and social studies of Nano science and technology has formed six main highly influential author groups represented by Roco MC, Bainbridge WS, Drexler KE, Schummer J, Kuzma J, Maynard AD and Rip A. The hot topics focus on ethic, law, religious, educational and social issues and global governance research of converging technologies under Nano scale. The international academic community of Nano ethics and social research has developed rapidly since 2001, while China＇s research is just beginning and almost has no ＂voice＂ concerning this field, which is extremely inharmonious with China＇s leading position of nanotechnology research in the international arena.
