TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis on the particular data collected from different target groups with the view to identify the most suitable instruments for setting up a specific NanoTech Virtual Lab is presented.
Abstract: In the last decades many researches underlined the alarming decline in young people's interest for key Mathematics and Science studies. In this respect, several efforts are still to be made for attracting the students to learn Science and to be interested by the recent innovations and discoveries in Science and Technology. As part of Science education, learning Nano-science and Nanotechnology by the use of ICT could be a solution for motivating the students due to the wide possibilities for presenting related Science/Technology concepts in multimedia formats. In this sense, the objectives of the LLP KA3-ICT project no. 511787-LLP-1- 2010-1-TR-KA3-KA3MP: "Nano-Tech Science Education" are oriented on searching the most effective ways to introduce the Nanotechnology concepts in Science lessons, in secondary education. The paper illustrates an analysis on the particular data collected from different target groups with the view to identify the most suitable instruments for setting up a specific NanoTech Virtual Lab.

TL;DR: Bibliometric data is used to investigate the research performance of the Chemistry Group from the Faculty of Sciences and Arts in Valahia University of Targoviste and new indices are applied to characterize the scientific productivity of the researchers.
Abstract: The current paper uses bibliometric data to investigate the research performance of the Chemistry Group from the Faculty of Sciences and Arts in Valahia University of Targoviste. The analyses are based on the Web of Science database. We present the research output such as the number of scientific papers and the citation impact as well as the Hirsch (h) and g indices. In addition, in this paper, we have applied new indices to characterize the scientific productivity of the researchers. Keywords: research, Scientometrics, bibliometric indicators, Hirsch index
