• Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.
Bibliometic-Sociometric methods• Bibliometrics is defined as “the application
of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other media of communication" Pritchard, 1969).
• Crane argued that social structure of group of scientists who work on research activity is instrumental for diffusion of knowledge.(1972)

The problem
It is difficult measuring the diffusion process only using conventional methods
• Bibliometric researchers• Scientometricians
• SNA techniques complement the conventional methods– Policy makers– Information scientists
• What are the key areas of nanotechnology in Turkey? Health (pharmaceuticals, medical devices), high technical industry, etc.?
• How decision/policy makers set policy in Turkey?
• Is there a correlation between diffusion of nanotechnology and actors in the social network structure?

• Strong theoretical focus in university research• The significance of theoretical research for the promotion of university
professors• Lack of interface between the university and industry• Lack of a supportive culture for academician-entrepreneurs• Lack of skilled labor• Prejudice on university researchers from the practitioners• Lack of venture capital• Lack of funding agencies for projects that require large funds• Lack of incubation centers• Weak patent and copyright laws• Lack of trust in Turkish produced goods• Competition from cheap imports• Lack of fully-operational industry clusters• Disconnection between the industrial and the underdeveloped part of the
