description This article presents a comprehensive analysis of global trends in normativity and regulatory issues in nanotechnology through a bibliometric study. To conduct this analysis, keywords such as regulations, legislation, policy, nanotechnology, nanomaterials, nanoparticle, and risk were employed. The search generated a total of 1202 refined scientific papers and 4914 patents. Various aspects were evaluated, including articles with the highest number of citations, countries with the highest academic production, institutions with the most documents, influential authors, author correlations, and keyword analysis, among others. The Scopus and Journal citation report databases, the VosViewer software, and different computer tools such as OpenRefine and Excel were used to conduct the analysis. The results point the United States (33.5%) as the country with the highest production, followed by the United Kingdom (10.9%), India (10.3%), and Germany (6.7%). Additionally, the results revealed some cooperation between the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany by 2014 and between China and India by 2018 and 2019. Moreover, according to the keyword analysis, only 10% of the scientific production speaks directly about regulations and policies on the effects on human health, with minor impact on the environment.

Este artículo presenta un análisis sobre tendencias globales sobre Normatividad y temas regulatorios en el área de nanotecnología mediante un estudio bibliométrico. Se utilizaron palabras clave como regulations, legislation, policy; nanotechnology, nanomaterials, nanoparticle y risk. Se encontraron 1202 documentos científicos refinados y 4914 patentes. Se evaluaron aspectos como artículos con mayor número de citaciones, países de mayor producción académica, instituciones con más documentos, autores más representativos, correlación entre autores, análisis de palabras clave, entre otros. Para el análisis fueron utilizadas las bases de datos Scopus y Journal citation report; el software VosViewer y diferentes herramientas informáticas como OpenRefine y Excel. Los resultados indican que Estados Unidos (33.5%) es el país con mayor producción, seguido de Reino Unido, India y Alemania con un 10.9%, 10.3% y 6.7% respectivamente. Se evidencia un grado de colaboración entre Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Alemania hacia 2014 y entre China e India hacia 2018 y 2019. Por otra parte, de acuerdo con los análisis de palabras clave, solo el 10% de la producción científica habla directamente de normativas y políticas relacionadas con los efectos en la salud humana, con un escaso impacto sobre el medio ambiente.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2023-09-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/16403 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 32 No. 65 (2023): July-September 2023 (Continuous Publication); e16403 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 32 Núm. 65 (2023): Julio-Septiembre 2023 (Publicación Continua); e16403 2357-5328 0121-1129 eng https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/16403/13537 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/16403/13814 Copyright (c) 2023 María-Mercedes Cely-Bautista, Grey-Cecilia Castellar-Ortega, Javier-Enrique Jaramillo-Colpas, Oscar-Fabián Higuera-Cobos http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
