摘要: Summary The “criticality” of the various elements used in modern technologies is a topic increasing interest, with groups from governments, consultancies, and academic institutions developing variety methodologies using them to make assessments. Other similar organizations are studying that generate these Here, we analyze different types studies, review issues methodology, comment on features nine studies published between 2008 mid-2014. From derive lists problematic, debatable, desirable aspects criticality studies. We emphasize an element can vary depending target organization that, because dynamic state, it must be periodically re-evaluated. There substantial value derived if more uniform methodology could developed. discuss how harmonized methodological framework might achieved what its benefits be. Putting into place such structure for collaborative publicly available determinations would very likely better serve present future needs corporations governments than case at present, where results.
