About this Research Topic
We are now in the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Research Metrics and Analytics. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Drs. Hsin-Ning Su and Arash Hajikhani of the Patent Analytics section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field. Also, high-quality original research manuscripts on novel concepts, problems, and approaches are welcomed.
This Research Topic solicits mainly brief, forward-looking contributions from the editorial board members that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward in the form of reviews, perspective, and opinion papers. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the Patent Analytics field and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the state of the art in this area of research. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
Frontiers is pro-actively committed to financially support its community on a global scale. Therefore, we encourage authors lacking support for Open Access publishing to request fee support by filling out this application form, upon submission. Submitting authors should also check Frontiers’ Institutional Agreement list to check whether their Institution has an existing agreement with Frontiers to reduce Article Processing Charges (APCs).
