ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: Bibliometric analyses of research in Sri Lanka, a lower-middle income island nation in South Asia, has focused mainly on medical research, concluding that there is a need for increased research productivity and impact, and for local solutions to health concerns. There has been no general bibliometric analysis across scientific disciplines in the nation, or any study that covers a long period of time to identify general time trends. Objective: To measure and analyse Sri Lanka research by focusing on subjects, authors, institutions, journals and citation for half a century. Methods: We used an advanced search method to extract publications with the word "Sri Lanka" in the SCI-EXPANDED, and calculated indicators such as total citations from Web of Science Core Collection since publication year to the end of 2019, citations in 2019, and mean citations per publication. Journal data were taken from 2019 Journal Citation Report. Affiliation re-classification was done to ensure consistency regarding the origin of all publications. Publications were further analysed based on collaboration, and first and corresponding authorship. Results: We retrieved 16 069 publications in 19 document types (77 % articles). Corrections had the highest number of authors per publication (616) followed by articles (116). Four articles had more than 5 000 authors and 593 articles had more than 1 000 authors. The highest citations in this database were for international megaprojects where Sri Lanka authors played minor roles. The UK had the most collaborative articles with Sri Lanka (19 %). The articles were published in 3 051 journals across 177 Web of Science categories. The category of Public, environmental and occupational health, with 193 journals, had 6.7 % of all articles, followed by environmental sciences (6.6 %). Conclusion: Sri Lanka has an unusually strong pattern of participating as small role players in international megaprojects about health and physics. Sri Lanka authors should be encouraged to expand their horizons by researching non-applied fields that are the basis of all innovation; to strengthen their own journals so that they have better visibility and impact, and to improve their positions in international projects that are published in larger journals.
Resumen Introducción: Los análisis bibliométricos de la investigación en Sri Lanka, una nación insular de ingresos mediano-bajos en el sur de Asia, se han centrado principalmente en la investigación médica, concluyendo que existe la necesidad de aumentar la productividad y el impacto de la investigación, y de soluciones locales a los problemas de salud. No ha habido un análisis bibliométrico general de disciplinas científicas o algún estudio que cubra un período largo de tiempo para identificar tendencias generales. Objetivo: Medir y analizar la investigación de Sri Lanka centrándose en temas, autores, instituciones, revistas y citas, durante medio siglo. Métodos: Utilizamos un método de búsqueda avanzada para extraer publicaciones con las palabras "Sri Lanka" en el SCI-EXPANDED, y calculamos indicadores como el total de citas de Web of Science Core Collection desde el año de publicación hasta finales de 2019, citas solo en 2019, y media de citas por publicación. Los datos de revistas son del Journal Citation Report 2019. Revisamos manualmente las afiliaciones para garantizar su coherencia, y, de todos los tipos de publicación, analizamos en detalle los artículos en función de la colaboración y la autoría. Resultados: Hallamos 16 069 publicaciones en 19 tipos de documentos (77 % artículos). Las correcciones tuvieron el mayor número de autores por publicación (616), seguidas de los artículos (116 autores en promedio); cuatro artículos tenían más de 5 000 autores y 593 artículos tenían más de 1 000 autores. Las citas más altas en esta base de datos fueron para megaproyectos internacionales en los que los autores de Sri Lanka desempeñaron papeles menores. El Reino Unido tuvo más artículos colaborativos con Sri Lanka (19 %). Los artículos se publicaron en 3 051 revistas de 177 categorías del Web of Science. La categoría d Salud pública, ambiental y ocupacional, con 193 revistas, tuvo el 6.7 % del total de artículos, seguida de Ciencias ambientales (6.6 %). Conclusión: En Sri Lanka hay una tendencia inusual a participar como pequeños actores en megaproyectos internacionales sobre salud y física. Debería alentarse a quienes hacen ciencia en Sri Lanka a ampliar sus horizontes investigando campos no aplicados, que son la base de la innovación; a fortalecer sus propias revistas para lograr mayor visibilidad e impacto, y a mejorar su ubicación en proyectos internacionales que se publican en revistas más grandes.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic hints at the importance of modernizing disease control system. To understand the scientific research strength of our country's disease control system in recent years is conducive to formulating more targeted policies or measures to promote the modernization of the disease control system. Objective To understand the scientific research strength and research hotspots of China's provincial-level centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs) from 2011 to 2020, and provide evidence for the development of scientific research work, discipline construction, and talent team construction in CDCs in the future. Methods The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of the Web of Science Core Collection were used to retrieve SCI-indexed English papers published by 31 provincial CDCs (excluding Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions) in our country from 2011 to 2020, and to screen literature with provincial CDCs as the first affiliation for bibliometric analysis and visual analysis. Bibliometric analysis included the SCI-indexed publications of different provincial CDCs (as co-affiliation and the first affiliation), the number of SCI-indexed papers published by provincial CDCs (as the first affiliation) and funding rates by years, the high-frequency authors of SCI-indexed papers published by provincial CDCs (as the first affiliation) and their distribution, and the characteristics of the journals. Visual analysis software Citespace 5.8.R1 was used to draw keyword co-occurrence maps, cluster information tables, and emergence maps to provide information on research hotspots and their evolution. Results From 2011 to 2020, the number of SCI-indexed papers from 31 provincial CDCs was 8420 (including co-affiliation), of which 2060 papers listed provincial CDCs as the first affiliation. The provincial CDCs of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, and Guangdong were the leading six institutes in terms of the total number of SCI-indexed papers contributed as co-affiliation or the first affiliation. There was a large gap in the total number of SCI-indexed papers among the provincial CDCs. The highest total number of SCI-indexed papers contributed by provincial CDCs as the first affiliation was Zhejiang CDC (448 papers), while the lowest number was Xinjiang CDC (only 1 paper). From 2011 to 2020, the total number of SCI-indexed papers contributed by the 31 provincial CDCs as the first affiliation showed an overall increasing trend. Except for 2011, which was 63.1%, the funding rates in other years exceeded 70%. In terms of high-frequency authors, 13 first authors published ≥10 SCI-indexed papers: Zhang Yingxiu from Shandong CDC had the highest number of SCI-indexed papers (47), followed by Hu Yu from Zhejiang CDC. Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Shandong still ranked the top six of ≥4 first authored-SCI papers. In terms of journal characteristics, the top 20 journals with the highest number of SCI papers published a total of 862 papers, accounting for 41.8% (862/2060), and PLOS ONE ranked the first (188 papers). The research hotspots were mainly concentrated in the fields of infection, child health, and epidemiology. The main keywords of the first three cluster categories were related to the research fields of adolescent overweight and obesity, HIV, and vaccine immunity. The results of keyword emergence showed that research hotspots shifted from overweight, obesity, and body mass index to antibodies, vaccines/vaccination, and cohorts. Conclusion The past ten years have witnessed increasing numbers of SCI-indexed papers published by provincial CDCs in our country and a stubbornly high funding rate. However, the gap among the provincial CDCs is still large seeing that economically developed eastern provincial CDCs published more SCI-indexed papers. Research hotspots have gradually shifted from overweight, obesity, and body mass index to antibodies, vaccines/vaccination, and cohorts.
ABSTRACT
Objective:This paper makes a comprehensive evaluation on the columns of Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine from communication effect and citation effect, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each column setting, so as to provide evidence-based basis for journal soliciting contributions, and guide column selection planning.Methods:The communication index (website browsing frequency, website download frequency, Wanfang download frequency) and citation index (citation frequency, zero citation rate, high citation rate, high citation rate ratio) of columns in Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine from 2016 to 2018 were counted, and whether there were statistical differences among the evaluation indexes of columns was analyzed.Results:In terms of communication index: among the top 20 column communication indicators, comments and guidance columns account for a very high proportion; The communication index of comment column and guidance column was significantly higher than that of other columns, and the differences were statistically significant; There was no significant difference between Article column and Clinical application research column.In terms of citation index: the citation frequency and high citation rate of the Article column are the highest, while the zero citation rate is the lowest, and there was no significant difference among the four columns of Expert forum, Clinical application research, Review and Guideline·consensus·interpretation; The high citation rate ratio of the Guideline·consensus·interpretation column is the highest, followed by the Article column, and the two columns are significantly higher than the Expert forum column; Among the top 20 papers with the highest citation frequency, the column of treatise accounts for 65%.Conclusion:Expert forum column and Guidelin·consensus·interpretation column are the key to influence the communication effect of journals.Article column and Guidelin·consensus·interpretation column are the key to influence the citation effect of journals.The absolute value of evaluation index can not scientifically evaluate the academic quality of journals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the forensic science-related literature included in the Web of Science database in the recent decade through bibliometric methods, to provide reference for relevant research. Methods Literatures were searched in 3 ways： Subject search, Journal search and Institution search. The annual distribution, national （regional） distribution, institution distribution, journal distribution and the research hotspots of the related literatures were analyzed through Thomson Data Analyzer （TDA）, Ucinet, VOSviewer, and so on. Results A total of 49 469 related literatures were included in the recent decade. The number of literatures continued to climb year by year. The top 15 countries （regions） accounted for 78.52% of the total number of published literatures, and China ranked 5th, but ranked 12th in terms of the proportion of high-cited papers; Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, etc. had high comprehensive influence. The number of countries （regions） that cooperated with China were 129, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. The Institute of Forensic Science of Saint Mary's University, University of Sydney and Netherlands Forensic Institute had high comprehensive influence, and the related literatures were published on 6 357 journals. According to high-frequency co-occurrence network and high-cited papers, brain injury, health policy, assessment scales and models and medical imaging were selected as research hotspots. Conclusion The total number of literatures in forensic science included in international SCI increased significantly, and the influence of China's achievements needs to be greatly enhanced; the research institutions were scattered, and China's research power needs to be continuously condensed; the research hotspots in international fields are extensive, and the international participation of China in top level research needs to be strengthened.

ABSTRACT
Resumen Camerún es uno de los seis países de África Central con más de 20 millones de habitantes. Para caracterizar el desempeño de la investigación de Camerún, las publicaciones de los Camerúnes en el Science Citation Index Expanded durante el período de 1936-2015, indexadas en la base de datos Thomson Reuters SCI-EXPANDED, fueron estudiadas en este trabajo. Todos los documentos de ese período con Camerún en el campo de dirección fueron incluidos en el estudio. Se analizaron el tipo de documento, el idioma, la tendencia y las colaboraciones, así como el resultado de diferentes categorías de temas. También se analizaron las interpretaciones de los países, instituciones y autores, incluyendo el total, único, colaborativo, primer autor, y publicaciones de autor correspondientes. Los artículos fueron analizados por la producción científica y los resultados de investigación de individuos, instituciones y países colaborativos con Camerún. Los análisis incluyeron 8 457 artículos (85 % de 10 591 publicaciones de Camerún). Estos análisis bibliométricos de las publicaciones camerunesas aportaron ideas interesantes sobre autores, instituciones y modelos de colaboración. Los resultados mostraron que la investigación en Camerún era altamente dependiente de colaboraciones extranjeras, y la colaboración internacional fue responsable del creciente número de publicaciones a lo largo de los años. Se encontró que los artículos con autores primarios o autores correspondientes de fuera de Camerún obtuvieron más citas que los otros y que los artículos sin ninguna colaboración internacional tenían citas más bajas. El número de artículos indexados por SCI-EXPANDED ha mostrado un aumento en términos de artículos cameruneses que es considerablemente mayor que el aumento en el número de todos los artículos en SCI-EXPANDED. Los artículos eran más frecuentes que otros tipos de publicación y en su mayor parte en inglés. La Universidad de Yaundé I ocupó el primer lugar en artículos de colaboración interinstitucional, el rango de los artículos de colaboración interinstitucional y el rango de los artículos del primer autor y los artículos de autores correspondientes. La Universidad de Yaundé I también estuvo en una posición de liderazgo absoluta desde 1970 hasta 2015, seguida muy de lejos por las otras instituciones. Las categorías de medicina tropical, ciencias vegetales, salud pública ambiental y ocupacional, y enfermedades infecciosas, representaron el mayor número de artículos publicados. Aunque la física y la química dominaron el ranking de los 20 mejores autores cameruneses, un artículo independiente de matemáticas fue el más citado, con 60 citas en 2015 a un autor camerunés. Los tres principales investigadores productivos fueron: T. C. Kofane, B. T. Ngadjui, P. Woafo, todos de la Universidad de Yaundé I. Francia y Estados Unidos dominaron el ranking de países con una fuerte colaboración científica con Camerún.
Abstract Cameroon is one of the six countries of Central Africa with more than 20 000 000 residents. To characterize the Cameroon research performance, Cameroonians publications in the Science Citation Index Expanded during the period of 1936-2015, indexed in the Thomson Reuters SCI-EXPANDED database, were studied in this work. All documents of that period with Cameroon in the address field were included in the study. The document type, language, trend and collaborations were analyzed, as well as the output of different subject categories. Performances of countries, institutions and authors, including total, single, collaborative, first author, and corresponding author publications were also analyzed. Articles were analyzed by the scientific output and research performances of individuals, institutions and collaborative countries with Cameroon. Analyses included 8 457 articles (85 % of 10 591 Cameroonian publications). These bibliometric analyses of Cameroonian publications provided interesting insights concerning authors, institutions and collaboration patterns. Results showed that research in Cameroon was highly dependent on foreign collaborations, and the international collaboration was responsible for the increasing number of publications over the years. It was found that the articles with either first authors or corresponding authors from outside Cameroon got more citations than the others, and that the articles without any international collaboration had lower citations. The number of articles indexed by SCIEXPANDED has seen an increase in terms of Cameroonian articles that is considerably greater that the increase in number of all articles in SCI-EXPANDED. Articles were more frequent than other types of publication and they were mostly in English. The University of Yaoundé I ranked top one in inter-institutionally collaborative articles, the rank of the total inter-institutionally collaborative articles, and the rank of first author articles and corresponding author articles. The University of Yaoundé I also was in an absolute leading position from 1970s to 2015, followed far away by the other institutions. The categories of tropical medicine, plant sciences, environmental and occupational public health, and infectious diseases, represented the largest number of published articles. Even though physics and chemistry dominated the ranking of the top 20 best Cameroonian authors, an independent mathematics article was the most cited, with 60 citations in 2015 to a Cameroonian author. The top three productive researchers were T. C. Kofane, B. T. Ngadjui, P. Woafo, all from University of Yaoundé I. France and the USA dominated the ranking of countries with strong scientific collaboration with Cameroon.

ABSTRACT
Las publicaciones sobre la epidemiología de Giardia en humanos de Argentina se hallan dispersas en numerosas fuentes de información, lo que dificulta su acceso y visibilidad para la comunidad científica. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar un análisis bibliométrico cuantitativo de la producción científica sobre Giardia en humanos de Argentina durante el período 1995-2014. El volumen de publicaciones científicas hallado fue igual a 112 (36 artículos, 73 comunicaciones y 3 tesis). La distribución idiomática mostró un predominio del español. Los artículos fueron publicados en 25 revistas de América, Europa y Asia. Este estudio bibliométrico demostró un incremento del volumen de publicaciones sobre Giardia en Argentina durante los últimos 20 años. Los artículos mostraron un índice de colaboración entre investigadores similar a la bibliografía. El índice de institucionalidad fue elevado para instituciones nacionales, e inexistente para la colaboración internacional. La utilización de indicadores bibliométricos permite contar con una herramienta sólida para el diagnóstico y prospección de las actividades de investigación sobre epidemiología de Giardia y contribuye a la difusión y visibilidad de la información relativa a la producción científica desarrollada en Argentina.
The scientific literature on Giardia epidemiology in humans from Argentina is scattered in numerous sources, making it difficult to access them and provide visibility to the scientific community. The aim of this study was to perform a quantitative bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on Giardia in humans from Argentina during the 1995-2014 period. The volume of scientific literature was 112 (36 articles, 73 communications, and 3 theses). The language distribution showed a predominance of Spanish. The articles were published in 25 journals from America, Europe and Asia. This bibliometric study showed an increased volume of publications on Giardia in Argentina during the last 20 years. The articles showed a Collaboration Index between researchers similar to the literature. The institutional Index was elevated for national institutions and non-existent for international collaboration. The use of bibliometric indicators can provide a solid tool for the diagnosis and survey of the research on epidemiology of Giardia, and it contributes to the dissemination and visibility of information on the scientific production developed in Argentina.
