Bibliometrics of global malaria vaccine research

Abstract

Objectives : This study evaluates malaria vaccine research carried out in different parts of the world during 1972-2004 using different bibliometric indicators. Method : Data have been downloaded from PubMed for the period 1972-2004 using the keywords (malaria* or plasmodium or falciparum) and (vaccine*) in the title and abstract fields. The study examined the pattern of growth of the output, its geographical distribution, profile of different countries in different subfields and pattern of citations using GOOGLE Scholar.

Scientometric Profile of Global Rice Research during 1985-2014

“…The transformative activity index (TAI) suggested by Guan and Ma 16 and developed by Garg et al 17 was used to compare the relative change in output during three blocks, i.e. 1985-1994, 1995-2004 and 2005-2014. CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL.…”

Worldwide Trends in Infectious Disease Research Revealed by a New Bibliometric Method

“…The results of surveys provide the information needed for decision makers, public policymakers, researchers, and business leaders (Statistics Canada, 1998 Regarding quantitative surveys in infectious disease research, in addition to specific diseases such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS; caused by the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) (Patra & Chand, 2006;Uthman, 2008), tuberculosis (Ramos et al, 2008), and malaria (Garg et al, 2009), infectious diseases in general Ramos et al, 2004;Ramos et al, 2009) have been targeted. These studies demonstrated that the US, EU, and other specific world regions or nations showed a gradual increase in the publication of research articles, contributing to an increased grasp of general trends in infectious disease research in the world.…”

Mapping of nanoscience and nanotechnology research in India: a scientometric analysis, 1990–2009

“…Citation impact of Indian's research output, 1990-2009 Impact suggested by Nagpaul (1995), Garg and Pandhi (1999) have been used for intercomparison of quality by making unit of citation indicators such as CPP, NHQ, RQI, NHQ% and TNP% (Garg et al 2009). CPP is based on the publication output and the number of citations received by these papers, citation per paper for different countries and different institutions has been calculated.…”
