New Approaches
for Analysis of STN Data
Learn about the analysis and visualization capabilities in the new STN
AnaVist software and STN
Express with Discover Analysis Edition, Version 8.0. In this session
you will learn about the key benefits of STN AnaVist including the analysis
of information from three leading sci-tech and patent resources - CAPLUS,
USPATFULL
and PCTFULL,
and an interactive workspace that displays a range of dynamically integrated
data visualizations, including bar charts, matrix charts, and Research Landscapes
(cluster/contour maps). This session will also include harmonization and
standardization of data prior to visualization, a data grouping feature
that permits further editing and customization of the data occurring in
any particular field across the available STN databases, and flexible tools
for deeper analysis of data subsets. You will also learn about what's new
in STN Express with Discover, Analysis Edition, Version 8.0 including the
new CAS Registry Number and Role Report Wizard, new encryption options for
increased data security, and major enhancements to post-processing tools,
including the Variable Group (R-group) Analysis Table and patent information
table tools.

Using
STN to Find Promising New Areas for Research
This session will guide you through learning how to use STN to find promising
new areas of research, such as stem cell research and technology, and will
provide techniques for exploring relevant journal literature and international
patents on STN. Although the theme is stem cells, the case study will include
practical tips and advice applicable to searchers working in any area of
science and technology.
- Finding
and Understanding Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Information
The interdisciplinary fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology involve manipulating
materials on the molecular scale to produce substances that have unique properties
and applications. These emerging fields have the potential to revolutionize
products in many markets. This session will focus on using STN to answer questions
relating to the discovery, development, patenting, and commercial applications
of nanomaterials and nanodevices for biological, chemical, and engineering
uses. These topics include STN resources for nanotechnology information, techniques
for query development, and analysis and visualization tools to provide insights
into trends in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
