Purpose: Identifying international coauthor collaborations for journal papers on physiotherapy is important and meaningful. However, no any paper that can combine Google map and Social Network Analysis (SNA) to present valuable information for readers. Our aims were to visualize the feature of international coauthor collaborations on the topic of physiotherapy and present the result on a Google map using SNA.Methods: Downloading 3342 articles on November 5, 2017 from Pbumed.com, we analyzed author nation and report features: (1) nations published the most papers in physiotherapy; (2) the prominent journal published the most papers in physiotherapy; (3) visual representations to report the cluster relations in physiotherapy; (4) international author collaborations based on the coordinates of latitude and longitude on Google Maps. SNA Pajek software was performed in this study. Results:We found that the top nation is from Australia (409, 9.88%). The top prominent journal is Aust J Physiother (176, 5.27%). The Google map combined with SNA to demonstrate the most frequency of authors are from Europe and the two nations of U.K. and Australia.Conclusions: Google map combined with SNA provides wide and deep insight into the relationships among nations and coauthor collaborations. The results can be provided to readers for the submission to the journal with the aims and the scope related to physiotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
