Technology Mining

Tech mining is text-oriented analytics that supports decision-making in science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) policy and management in areas including competitive technical intelligence, R&D management, and research evaluation. Presenting selected papers from the 12th Global TechMining Conference (GTM2022), this book covers novel digital information sources such as optimization and integration of 360-degree view in science, economic, political, and social domains; processing methods that accelerate and optimize procedures involving human expertise, such as Delphi; and visualizations and other outputs such as data visualization to provide better communication of research findings.
Technology Mining : Text-Analytics for Evidence-Based Foresight is an essential guide for a cross-disciplinary network of ST&I policy analysts, software specialists, researchers, technology managers, and students to further advance and adopt textual information in multiple scientific, technology, and business development fields.

Showcases advancing frontiers concerning data, methods, and applications Examines how tech mining supports decision-making Includes contributions from a cross-disciplinary group of global experts
