La voz ajena. Las prácticas de citación en el ingreso a una universidad argentina

Este artículo se propone revisar las prácticas de citación en un conjunto de exámenes realizados por estudiantes que comienzan sus carreras universitarias en una institución argentina, en particular los modos en que se construyen dos tipos de citas: las citas textuales y las citas de reformulación. Debido a las dificultades recurrentes que se observan en esta incorporación, busca categorizar estos problemas y determinar su frecuencia de aparición. El material de análisis está constituido por una muestra de ochocientos exámenes pertenecientes a dos materias iniciales que se dictaron bajo la modalidad virtual y presencial. Este estudio, por un lado, da cuenta de diversos problemas que surgen en las prácticas de citación y que involucran tanto aspectos que pueden inscribirse en el plano formal como aquellos que lo exceden. Por el otro, demuestra que la distribución de estas rupturas no son siempre equivalentes. Algunas de estas transgresiones podrían atribuirse al encuentro entre el o la ingresante con convenciones académicas ajenas a sus experiencias previas; no obstante, muchas de ellas evidencian estudiantes con escaso entrenamiento en la lectura y la escritura.

This article intends to examine the citation practices in a set of exams taken by students who begin their university careers in an Argentine institution, in particular the ways in which two types of citations are constructed: textual citations and reformulation citations. Due to the recurring difficulties that are observed in this incorporation, it seeks to categorize these problems and determine their frequency of appearance. The analysis material is made up of a sample of eight hundred exams belonging to two initial courses that were dictated under the virtual and face-to-face modality. This study on the one hand, reports on various problems that arise in citation practices and that involve both aspects that can be included in the formal level and those that go beyond it. On the other, it shows that the distribution of these ruptures is not always equivalent. Some of these transgressions could be attributed to the encounter between the first-year students with academic conventions alien to their previous experiences; however many of them show students with little training in reading and writing.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as práticas de citação num conjunto de exames realizados por alunos em início de carreira universitária numa instituição argentina, em particular, as formas como são construídos dois tipos de citações: as citações textuais e as citações de reformulação. Devido às dificuldades recorrentes observadas nesta incorporação, procurase categorizar estes problemas e determinar a sua frequência de ocorrência. O material de análise é constituído por uma amostra de 800 provas de exame de duas disciplinas iniciais leccionadas online e presencialmente. Este estudo, por um lado, revela varios problemas que surgem nas práticas de citação e que envolvem tanto aspectos que podem ser inscritos no nível formal como aqueles que vão para além dele. Por outro lado, mostra que a distribuição dessas rupturas nem sempre é equivalente. Algumas dessas transgressões podem ser atribuídas ao encontro do participante com convenções académicas alheias às suas experiências anteriores; no entanto, muitas delas são evidencias de estudantes com pouca formação em leitura e escrita.

Exploring Technology Frontiers for Neuroblastoma Treatment from Perspective of Patent Citation Network / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To explore the technology frontiers for neuroblastoma treatment from the perspective of patent citation network. Methods Through patent analysis for neuroblastoma treatment, highly cited patents and highly cited papers in the citation network were taken as the research objects. The title and abstract of the citing patents were analyzed by text clustering to identify the technology frontiers. Through social network analysis, the core patents were identified from the indices of degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality. Results A total of 6240 patent applications for neuroblastoma treatment were found, including 71304 patent citations and 88698 journal-article citations. Four technology frontiers were identified based on patent citation network, namely, drug target, drug design, tumor-indication expansion, and gene-expression regulation. Three technology frontiers were identified based on journal-article citation network. They were drug target, drug design, and tumor-indication expansion. Conclusion The development of technology for neuroblastoma treatment continues to be active. Drug target and drug design are the most important technology frontiers. This study could provide certain reference for neuroblastoma treatment from the perspective of information science.

Journals have as their main link higher education institutions and scientific associations and they are indexed with a higher proportion in Google Scholar and Latindex, with a minority appearing in the collections of the most disputed indexers such as Web of Science and Scopus. It is perceived that the group of scientific journals of physical education is consolidated and they make up the internal dynamics of this academic-scientific field.

Scientometric review of research on Neglected Tropical Diseases: a 31-year perspective from the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine

ABSTRACT Background: To analyze the temporal evolution of research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) published by the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine (JBSTM). Methods: We performed an analysis of the scientific production in JBSTM on NTDs using an advanced search, which included authors' descriptors, title, and abstract, and by combining specific terms for each NTDs from 1991 to 2021. Data related to authors, countries of origin, institutions, and descriptors, were evaluated and analyzed over time. Bibliographic networks were constructed using VOSviewer 1.6.16. Results: The JBSTM published 4,268 scientific papers during this period. Of these 1,849 (43.3%) were related to NTDs. The number of publications on NTDs increased by approximately 2.4-fold, from 352 (total 724) during 1991-2000 to 841 (total 2,128) during 2011-2021, despite the proportional reduction (48.6% versus 39.5%). The most common singular NTDs subject of publications included Chagas disease (31.4%; 581/1,849), leishmaniasis (25.5%, 411/1,849), dengue (9.4%, 174/1,849), schistosomiasis (9.0%; 166/1,849), and leprosy (6.5%, 120/1,849), with authorship mostly from Brazil's South and Southeast regions. Conclusions: Despite the proportional reduction in publications, JBSTM remains an important vehicle for disseminating research on NTDs during this period. There is a need to strengthen the research and subsequent publications on specific NTDs. Institutions working and publishing on NTDs in the country were concentrated in the South and Southeast regions, requiring additional investments in institutions in other regions of the country.

Bibliometric analysis of diabetic retinopathy therapy based on Web of Science database / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective:To analyze the trend, hotspots and frontiers of diabetic retinopathy (DR) therapy by bibliometric method.Methods:Data were taken from the Web of Science website of Science Citation Index. Articles from 2017 to 2021, which were related to the therapy of diabetic retinopathy (DR), were included. The bibliometric analysis softwares, VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to generate and analyze visual representations of the complex data input, including high-frequency keywords, keywords with the strongest citation bursts and co-occurrence networks of keywords.Results:A total of 3,845 articles were included. The amounts of papers published from 2017 to 2021 is 633, 651, 708, 893, and 960 respectively, increasing over years. Chinese scholars published the most articles, followed by the United States. The number of articles funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China ranks third. There were 47 high-frequency keywords clustered into DR treatment, pathogenesis of DR, diagnosis of DR, Oxidative stress, diabetic macular edema (DME), type 2 diabetes, optical coherence tomography and deep learning. Those keywords were research hotspots and new keywords were constantly emerging. Among the top 11 burst words, the burst values of "intravitreal bevacizumab", "vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)", "choroidal neovascularization", "inhibition", and "receptors" were all over 10. Highly cited references showed a significant clustering tendency, which were treatment of DME, review of DR, clinical research of anti-VEGF drug therapy.Conclusions:The amount of paper related to DR therapy is on the rise; the specific treatment methods for the pathogenesis of DR are constantly research hotspots. In addition, formulating treatment strategies to reduce macular edema and other complications of diabetes, applying optical coherence tomography, deep learning and other technologies to improve the efficiency of DR diagnosis and treatment, improve targeted drug delivery systems, and finding new target points were research frontiers.

Half a century of Sri Lanka research: Subjects, researchers, institutions, journals and impact (1973-2019) / Medio siglo de investigación en Sri Lanka: temas, investigadores, instituciones, revistas e impacto (1973-2019)

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.

Ciencias sociales en contextos de represión: Análisis bibliométrico de la producción histórica de la Corporación de Estudios para Latinoamérica, Chile (1979-1989)

Este artículo presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica de la Corporación de Estudios para Latinoamérica (CIEPLAN), el centro de estudios más importante durante la dictadura y transición democrática en Chile. El análisis se realiza sobre un conjunto de registros bibliográficos (n = 145), referencias (n = 4.055) e información biográfica de los autores, durante 1979-1989. Se analizan tres dimensiones: producción científica y áreas temáticas; colaboración y coautoría; y referencias o consumo de información. Se utiliza estadística descriptiva, modelamiento temático no supervisado y Análisis de Redes Sociales (SNA, por sus siglas en inglés). Los resultados muestran una tendencia constante en la producción científica y temas centrados en tópicos clásicos de la economía asociados con temas de desigualdad y política. Además, los análisis de colaboración y referencias muestran la existencia de una comunidad compuesta por reconocidos académicos y miembros de la élite política chilena centrales en la producción intelectual y en la red de referencias. Estos hallazgos permiten denominar a CIEPLAN como una de las principales comunidades epistémicas durante la recuperación y transición democrática chilena, en específico, durante los primeros gobiernos democráticos dónde varios miembros fueron reclutados para asumir importantes cargos en el ejecutivo. Hasta hoy, estos actores siguen influenciando el proceso de formulación de políticas públicas en Chile.

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the Corporación de Estudios para Latinoamérica (CIEPLAN in Spanish) scientific production. This was the most important think tank during the dictatorship and democratisation in Chile. The analysis is carried out based on bibliographic entries (n = 145), references (n = 4,055), and biographical information of the authors from 1979 to 1989. Three dimensions are analysed: scientific production and topics, collaboration and co-authorship, and references or information consumption. We use descriptive statistics, unsupervised topic modelling, and Social Network Analysis (SNA). The results reveal a constant trend in the scientific production and classic topics of the economy associated with inequality and political issues. Moreover, the collaboration and citation analyses show the existence of a community composed of recognised academics and members of the Chilean political elite who were central in the intellectual production and the references' network. These findings allow us to name CIEPLAN as one of the central epistemic communities during Chile's democratic recovery and transition, specifically during the first democratic governments, where a number of members were recruited to assume important positions in the executive. To this day, these actors continue influencing the policy-making process in Chile.

Results: A decrease in the impact factor values of the evaluated journals was observed when the citations received by works related to COVID-19 were eliminated. Conclusions: The volume of information published on COVID-19 and the citations received influenced the impact increase in 2021 JCR.

A bibliometria no GT 11 ­ Informação & Saúde ­ do Enancib / Bibliometrics in Enancib's WG 11 - Information & Health / La bibliometría en el GT 11 ­ Información & Salud ­ del Enancib

No Enancib (Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Ciência da Informação), o Grupo de Trabalho (GT)11 ­ Informação & Saúde, criado em 2011, é responsável pelo estudo das teorias, métodos, estruturas e processos informacionais em diferentes contextos da saúde. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar trabalhos do GT 11 que apontam a bibliometria como seu aporte teórico-metodológico, de modo a conhecer algumas características de tal comunidade, ainda em bases quantitativas nesta etapa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem descritiva e bibliométrica, com levantamento no Benancib (de 2011 a 2016) e nos anais dos Enancib (de 2017 a 2019). Para escolha dos termos, foi utilizado o Tesauro Brasileiro de Ciência da Informação. Encontraram-se 23 trabalhos, 40 autores, 60 palavras-chave e 385 referências. A vida média com base na obsolescência da literatura a partir de 2005 foi de 14 anos. Percebe-se que a bibliometria e os estudos métricos nos trabalhos do GT 11 são mencionados com frequência, o que poderia explicar as eventuais ausências de definição e discussão de tais métodos. Este estudo aponta a necessidade de combiná-lo com outras metodologias para contextualizar os indicadores apresentados.

In Enancib ­ Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Ciência da Informação (National information science research conference), the Workgroup (WG) 11 - Information & Health, created in 2011, is responsible for the study of information theories, methods, structures, and processes in different health contexts. This article aims to present works of the WG 11 that point out bibliometrics as its theoretical-methodological contribution, in order to know some characteristics of that community based on quantitative studies in this phase. The research has descriptive and bibliometric approach, based on a search in Benancib (from 2011 to 2016) and in the annals of Enancib (from 2017 to 2019). The Tesauro Brasileiro de Ciência da Informação (Brazilian Thesaurus of Information Science) was consulted to select the terms. Twenty-three papers, 40 authors, 60 keywords and 385 references were found. The average life based on literature obsolescence from 2005 was 14 years. We can see that bibliometrics and metric studies in the works of the WG 11 are often mentioned, which could explain the possible lack of definition and discussion of such methods. This study points out the need to combine it with other methodologies to contextualize the indicators presented.

Comparative study of scientific articles on MMR vaccines published from India over the last few decades

The MMR vaccine as we know is a vital vaccine to protect against three disease-causing microbes- measles, mumps, and rubella. To commemorate 75 years of Indian independence, the present study delves into the achievement of Indian research and lists out articles retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database on the domain of MMR vaccine research. The data has been restricted to the publication from India, thereby, has throwing some understanding into the MRR vaccine research in India over the last 28 years- 1994 to 2021. The data have been compared based on scientometric analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analysis have also been taken into account in order to give a comparative insight into the research. The comparison was done based on citation data, usage count data, year of publication, journals, publication media, domains focussed on the papers, and type of document. Astonishingly, in 2021, the most number of papers were published, most of them have related MMR vaccine as a potential immunity developer against COVID-19 infection. A total of 43 articles were retrieved from the search, the numbers are quite big, and the highest citation among them being 99 which was published in 2014, which is quite impressive for such a short duration of time. The comparative study suggests a positive growth of MMR vaccine research in India.

CITED PAPERS ON ALZHEIMER DISEASE: A SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS USING SCOPUS DATABASE

The impact of Alzheimer's disease on the population is signi?cant. Alzheimer's disease rose from the 25th most burdensome disease in the world. In order to identify depth and importance of the disease a scientometric study has been carried out. The study was carried out with the objective to examine the cited publications in Alzheimer's disease research and to examine the chronological growth of cited publications. The literature on Alzheimer's disease research data has been downloaded from 'Scopus', multidisciplinary online database, which is an international indexing and abstracting database, using the search term “Alzheimer's”. A total of 1,79,722 records have been identi?ed during the period of 1970-2017 (48 years). The study was carried out with the objective to examine the cited publications in Alzheimer's disease research and to examine the chronological growth of cited publications. Further study identi?es the authorship pattern of cited publications. The data were analysed based on trend of Cited publications; Citation and type of access; Yearwise growth; Block yearwise; Authorship pattern and Document type of cited publications. Nearly 85.3% of publications were cited and only 14.7% of publications were uncited. The study reveals that the citation of articles gets study increase every year during the study period and seems to be in linear trend. Nine papers out of 10 papers get cited irrespective of document type except short survey.

SCI-indexed papers and research hotspots of provincial centers for disease control and prevention in China from 2011 to 2020 / 环境与职业医学

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.

Bibliometric and visual analysis of Chinese-language scholarly journal papers published by China provincial centers for disease control and prevention from 2011 to 2020：based on CSCD data / 环境与职业医学

Background By analyzing the publication of scientific and technological papers of the provincial centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs) in China, we can understand their scientific research strength, dominant disciplines, research hotspots, and talent development, which is conducive for further optimizing the scientific research construction of the disease control system. Objective To conduct a bibliometric analysis and draw a visual map of the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) sourced papers published by 31 provincial CDCs in China from 2011 to 2020, to understand the scientific research status of China's provincial CDC system in the past ten years. Methods In April 2021, China National Knowledge Infrastructure was used to retrieve CSCD sourced papers published by 31 provincial CDCs (excluding Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions) in China as the primary unit from 2011 to 2020, and finally 5231 CSCD papers were included. Bibliometric analysis indicators include number of CSCD papers published and financial support rate, proportion of CSCD papers to total Chinese papers, distribution of CSCD papers published in high-volume journals, and number of papers for a specific CDC that their first authors affiliated with. Citespace 5.8.R1 software was used to draw author's cooperation network map, keyword co-occurrence map, keyword clustering information table, and keyword emergence map. Results The number of CSCD papers published every year showed a stationary trend, and the total funding rate was 61%, showing an year-by-year upward trend (increased from 49.3% in 2011 to 68.7% in 2020). Jiangsu Province, Fujian Province, and Beijing CDCs ranked the top three in the total number of CSCD papers contributed by a specific CDC. The Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, Chinese Journal of Public Health, Chinese Journal of Zoonoses, Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine, and Chinese Journal of Endemic Diseases were the top five high-volume journals. The top three authors of CSCD papers (counted as co-authors) were Xu Bianli of Henan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (110 papers), Yan Yansheng of Fujian Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (72 papers), and Wang Quanyi of Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control (71 papers), and they studied the epidemiology of parasitic diseases and infectious diseases, the prevention and treatment of natural epidemic diseases and AIDS, and the epidemiology of infectious diseases, respectively. The keyword co-occurrence map showed that AIDS, zoonotic diseases, hand-foot-mouth disease, etc. (frequency ≥90) were the key research directions of provincial CDCs in the past ten years. The keyword clustering categories were closely related, although there were subtle differences, the topics focused on virus and chronic disease research. The keyword emergence results suggested that the frontiers of research had gradually shifted from infectious diseases such as enterovirus, hantavirus, and Zika virus to food-borne diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases such as tumors and senile diseases over time. Conclusion The number of papers issued by the provincial CDCs in China in the past ten years has shown an overall steady and rising trend. The leading themes of researchers and institutions are infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, etc., while food-borne diseases and elderly diseases are the hot frontiers.
