“…This may be attributed to the promulgation of some standards and specifications (Table 2) related haze control in China. China's economic growth has resulted in an Citations-based indicators are proved to be valuable and effective for measuring of the impact and internationalization of the scientific work (Yang et al 2013;Rajagopal et al 2013;Zhang 2014). Therefore, by comparing citation impact per paper among the top 10 countries, it was found that UK and USA were on top 2 of the list with citation impact per paper of 26.12 and 25.18, followed by Canada (25.13), France (25.00), Germany (22.80), Italy (21.94), Japan (19.29), Spain (15.42), South Korea (12.34) and China (10.55) ( Table 3).…”

In past 15 years, haze has become one of the most concerned environmental problem in China. This study examines China's performance on haze research using scientometrics indicators such as China's global publication share, rank, growth rate and citation impact, its publications in various areas, top journals based on last 15 years (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014) publications data obtained from ISI Science citation index expanded database. Chinese share with international collaborative papers, h-core papers and high-cited papers were also determined. The results indicated a constantly rise in the amount of published papers, the average citations per paper and the presence of Chinese researchers and institutions in top journals. However, the impact and quality of the papers were far to satisfactory. There was still a great gap for impact between China and developed countries (G7 countries) in haze research.

“…histcite.com), is a free bibliometric toolbox with a powerful function in output analysis and citation-based analysis (Garfield et al 2006). The HistCite software has been widely used for identifying key authors, journals, countries, and research fields in multiple disciplines (Bornmann and Marx 2012;Garfield et al 2002Garfield et al , 2010Rajagopal et al 2013). In this study, HistCite was mainly used as a tool to identify high frequency countries, keywords, and citations and calculate citations.…”

Scientometric analysis of phosphorus research in eutrophic lakes

et al. 2014

Eutrophication has become a top environmental issue for most lake ecosystems in the world and enhanced phosphorus (P) input is usually considered the primary stressor. Focused on the role of phosphorus in eutrophic lakes, a bibliometric approach was applied to quantitatively evaluate the main interests of research and trends in this area. Using data from the Science Citation Index Expanded database between 1900 and 2013, a total of 3,875 publications was returned by searching topic keywords. Spatial, temporal, and interactive characteristics of the articles, countries, and keywords are presented using time series, frequency, and co-occurrence analysis. Result shows that the annual publications on P in eutrophic lakes keep an exponential growth (R 2 = 0.93; p \ 0.0001) over the last two decades, reflecting an increasing attraction in this area. However, publications of phosphorus research make up only 40 % of total records in eutrophic lakes, indicating that there are other significant topics in eutrophication problems of lakes. The USA is the largest output country in this area, contributing 23 % of the total articles, followed by China with a proportion of 15 %. However. China has replaced the USA as the largest output country in the world since 2011, but its citation per paper is significantly lower than the USA, indicating its' favor on quantity over quality. Based on international cooperation analysis, five regional groups were found, and the USA, the UK, P.R. China, Sweden, and German are the centers of their groups. The top 20 title keywords, author keywords and keywords plus were identified according to their frequency to assist our understanding of interests of research and modes. Surprisingly, nitrogen is a high co-occurrence keyword in this study, and its share of publications with P research in eutrophic lakes is increasing rapidly. Furthermore, the high correlation between P and N research in spatial distribution also indicates the increasing significance of N research in eutrophic lakes.

“…Indian scientists published 1,293 papers during the period 2001-2012 with a global publication share of 3.83% and with 225 (17.40%) papers produced by international collaborations. Compared to the research fields of dementia (Gupta, Kaur, & Kshitij, 2011) and pheromone biology (Rajagopal et al, 2013), the publication output in this field is in a better position. Indian literature in tribology has grown by 369% between 2001-2006 and 2007-2012, which shows that there is an increasing trend of research activities in tribology research.…”

“…They measured the growth rate, pattern of author collaboration, and pattern and impact of Indian institutions contributions by various scientometric measures. Rajagopal et al (2013) analyzed the growth and development of pheromone biology research output in India based on the Science Citation index for the period 1978-2008. Sinha & Joshi (2012 examined the status of solar PV research in India for the 10 year period 2000-2009.…”
