of the competitive position of the countries in nanotechnology. In this paper, the competitive
position of the countries was determined by the number of nanotechnology publications, the
number of citations, and the average number of citations. The data on the observed indicators
published by Statnano in the period 2008-2017 were used. Countries were classified into two
groups according to the observed indicators. The aim of this paper was to provide a review of
the competitive position of the observed (groups of) countries and to determine the level of their
(differential) advantage in the period 2008-2017. It was found that the differential between the
groups is pronounced.
