TechMining for Global Good
The TechMining for Global Good award is intended to recognize steadfast TechMining-enabled efforts to advance decision-making processes and policy options on typically under-resourced issues of global importance. TechMining, short for “text-mining of science & technology information resources,” is a special form of “Big Data” analytics. Using bibliometric and text-mining software (e.g., VantagePoint, TDA) as well as other analytical & visualization applications, TechMining analyses of Science, Technology & Innovation (ST&I) information resources result in actionable intelligence for technology management and/or policy development.
