Williamson, Jeanine M.; Han, Lee D.; Colon-Aguirre, Monica – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2009
The study examined the extent of cross-disciplinarity in nanotechnology and transportation engineering research. Researchers in these two fields were determined from the web sites of the U.S. News and World Report top 100 schools in civil engineering and materials science. Web of Science searches for 2006 and 2007 articles were obtained and the…
