从合著网络及其变化看干细胞研究领域的国际科研合作

基于合著论文数据,运用文献计量和社会网络分析方法系统分析了2000-2014年期间干细胞研究领域国家间科研合作网络的结构与演化特征,对比了干细胞研究论文高产国家的国际合作模式与研究影响力.研究发现,干细胞研究领域国际科研合作规模不断扩大,一张高度连通世界各国的科研合作网络已基本形成;高产国家集中于北美、欧洲和东亚,美国、英国、德国和法国长期处于网络的中心位置;中国的干细胞研究论文高速增长,网络地位不断提升;美国与欧洲论文高产国家组成了密切的多边合作群体,亚洲论文高产国家的国际合作以与美国合作为主;欧美论文高产国家的研究影响力高于亚洲高产国家,中国干细胞研究的整体水平还与其他高产国家有较大差距.     

Universality in bibliometrics

Many discussions have enlarged the literature in Bibliometrics since the Hirsch proposal, the so called h-index. Ranking papers according to their citations, this index quantifies a researcher only by its greatest possible number of papers that are cited at least h times. A closed formula for h-index distribution that can be applied for distinct databases is not yet known. In fact, to obtain such distribution, the knowledge of citation distribution of the authors and its specificities are required. Instead of dealing with researchers randomly chosen, here we address different groups based on distinct databases. The first group is composed of physicists and biologists, with data extracted from Institute of Scientific Information (ISI). The second group is composed of computer scientists, in which data were extracted from Google-Scholar system. In this paper, we obtain a general formula for the h-index probability density function (pdf) for groups of authors by using generalized exponentials in the context of escort probability. Our analysis includes the use of several statistical methods to estimate the necessary parameters. Also an exhaustive comparison among the possible candidate distributions are used to describe the way the citations are distributed among authors. The h-index pdf should be used to classify groups of researchers from a quantitative point of view, which is meaningfully interesting to eliminate obscure qualitative methods.     

How interdisciplinary is nanotechnology?

Facilitating cross-disciplinary research has attracted much attention in recent years, with special concerns in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although policy discourse has emphasized that nanotechnology is substantively integrative, some analysts have countered that it is really a loose amalgam of relatively traditional pockets of physics, chemistry, and other disciplines that interrelate only weakly. We are developing empirical measures to gauge and visualize the extent and nature of interdisciplinary interchange. Such results speak to research organization, funding, and mechanisms to bolster knowledge transfer. In this study, we address the nature of cross-disciplinary linkages using “science overlay maps” of articles, and their references, that have been categorized into subject categories. We find signs that the rate of increase in nano research is slowing, and that its composition is changing (for one, increasing chemistry-related activity). Our results suggest that nanotechnology research encompasses multiple disciplines that draw knowledge from disciplinarily diverse knowledge sources. Nano research is highly, and increasingly, integrative—but so is much of science these days. Tabulating and mapping nano research activity show a dominant core in materials sciences, broadly defined. Additional analyses and maps show that nano research draws extensively upon knowledge presented in other areas; it is not constricted within narrow silos.

Bibliometric analysis of core journals which publish articles of physical therapy on aging

Objective. Increase in population''s longevity has led to considerable efforts worldwide on physical therapy aging research. The aim of this study is to identify which are the main scientific journals, as well as the most productive authors, institutions and keywords related to the journals, that have published about physical therapy and aging. Methods. Original articles published from 1990 to 2014 were retrieved from the bibliographic database Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection. After standardization of the bibliographic information, a series of bibliometric indicators was obtained regarding authors, institutions, citation and keywords of the core journals using bibliometric software. The PAJEK network analysis program was used for graphic representation. Results. A total of 2,237 original articles are included in this analysis. The number of identified journals is 573, with an average growth of publishing journals throughout the studied period of 9.41%. Bradford''s distribution shows 12 core journals, out of which 41.67% have published constantly all throughout the 25-year period, being the most productive one Physical Therapy. Fritz, Julie M is the most productive author, and University of Sydney the most productive institution. The keyword exercise is used in an outstanding way. Conclusions. The productivity trends provided an indication of the greater scientific interest of physical therapy in aging as a line of research. Collectively, the data indicated that physical therapy-specific journals are being consolidated but non-specific are still a significant research source, and that a fundamental element of their research includes exercise and movement.     

基于Citespace知识图谱的活性环肽研究进展和趋势分析

环肽是具有环状结构的多肽链,因其独特的结构和有价值的功能,如抗肿瘤、抗菌、调节免疫抑制活性、杀虫、溶血、抗HIV等,而受到广泛的关注。本文采用CiteSpace 5.7 R5软件在中国知网(CNKI)以及Web of Science核心合集数据库检索关于活性环肽的文献,并对作者、机构、关键词进行可视化分析,经过筛选、排除与主题无关的文献,最终获纳入中文文献538篇,英文文献792篇。网络知识图谱分析显示,周涛和江维克、David Jcraik是发表中文和英文文献最多的作者;而中国科学院、澳大利亚昆士兰大学分别是发表中文和英文文献数量最多的研究机构,但是机构间、团队间的合作仍需进一步待加强。中、英文文献关键词分析显示,研究的内容主要集中在新型活性环肽的发现、类似物的设计合成以及抗肿瘤、抗菌药理活性的研究等。活性环肽固相合成工艺研究、环肽介导的纳米药物靶向递送研究、活性环肽在抗癌药物方面的应用等可能成为未来研究的主要方向。
