Abstract

objective: Investigating the dynamics of Iranian Nano-related publications form the ‎perspective of triple helix model (THM) is the goal of this research. ‎

Methodology: The data of Nano-related publications collected from Iranian ISI ‎papers. This study maps the emergence of dynamics of knowledge base of ‎innovations using mutual information and transmission of uncertainty calculated ‎by THM. The ‎‏th.exe and‏ ‏th4.ex‏ ‏software were used in the process of analyzing ‎data. Domestic and international collaboration is analyzed. ‎

Findings: The findings show the capabilities of THM for improving policy making ‎in science, technology and innovation (STI), especially in Nano sector and other ‎technological sectors in Iran. Also, the results indicate weakness of the dynamics of ‎knowledge-based relations among Iranian three sectors and international ‎collaborations.‎
