Abstract: This study reviewed articles originated in Brazil, in the United Kingdom, and in the United States from 1970 to September 2018 in the Web of Science database. Text mining techniques were used, and a predominantly qualitative analysis was performed, including correspondence analysis and sentiment analysis using the R Software (version 3.5.0) tools. Results show a repathologization of homosexuality in the gerontological knowledge production. This includes studies performed in 51 areas of knowledge in the three countries. That was followed by the depsychiatrization of homosexuality during the peak of deaths caused by AIDS, and its consequent recognition as an epidemiological threat. The article concludes reviewing the collected biomarkers, such as “sexual”, “risk”, “MSM”, and “HIV/AIDS”, which prove the progressive impact of sexual panic in gerontology studies and also associates AIDS with masculine homosexuality.

A ghost is wandering around the web: it is called open access, a proposal to modify the circulation system of scientific information which has landed on the sacred soil of scientific literature. The circulation system of scientific magazines has recently started faltering, not because this instrument is no longer a guarantee of quality, but rather for economic reasons. In countries such as Great Britain, as shown in the following chart, the past twenty years have seen a dramatic increase in subscription fees, exceeding by far the prices of other publishing products and the average inflation rate. The same trend applies to the United States.

Purpose: This study analyzed the bibliometric characteristics of publications on inclusive education in the Social Science Citation Index and Science Citation Index Expanded in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1992 to 2020.Methods: Terms related to “inclusive education” and “inclusion of education” were used as keywords to search for journal articles on July 3, 2020.Results: There were 1,786 articles, representing 3,376 authors, in the 345 journals scanned. The United States, United Kingdom, and Australia were the three leading countries/regions in this field. In the top 12 countries, the top 15 institutions and the top 10 most-cited journals were identified by either the number of publications or the number of total citations. Core themes from the 30 most highly-cited articles were teachers’ attitudes, teachers’ self-efficacy, and the effects of inclusive education. Teachers included both pre-service and in-service teachers; students represented those with and without special educational needs.Conclusion: The results indicate that the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia dominated inclusive education research, originating most of the highly-cited articles, having more prolific authors, and presenting the most-cited institutions. Furthermore, three emerging core themes from the 30 most highly-cited articles were teachers’ attitudes, teachers’ self-efficacy, and the effects of inclusive education. Frontline teachers are recommended to submit manuscripts about their teaching experiences to the most-cited journals, which have a large readership. To measure the effects of inclusive education, it is essential to formulate reliable, valid, and culture-free research instruments for future studies.

Econophysics is a relatively young discipline, being an interdisciplinary approach that applies methods and tools from physics in the economics, for studying the financial markets, or other economical phenomena. The objective is to create a mapping of the most used keywords in this topic, as well as the connections between countries and authors, based on citations. This article studies the literature on the topic of econophysics, using the Web of Science database. Bibliometric analysis was made with the free software VOSviewer, after extracting the data from 1364 articles, since the conception of the topic in 1996 until the year 2020. The software offered a useful network representation between the main keywords used in the field, or between countries and citations, and finally between authors, based on citations. The results evidenced a constant interest on the topic, with main keywords: ”econophysics”, ”financial markets”, ”dynamics”, ”model” and ”stock market”, and the relationships between countries and authors were shown, with the United States, China and Italy being the leading ones. We also found that the most cited authors are H.E. Stanley, the inventor of the word econophysics, Wei-Xing Zhou and Didier Sornette. This article shows the main concepts used in econophysics, which can serve as an indicator of its directions of research, as well as the top contributors in the field, since its inception. Future directions include expanding the analysis to other databases, or to concepts relevant to econophysics, to identify trends in research and the growth of the field.

Because of the advantages of nanoparticles (NPs) in a variety of industrial, biomedical, and consumer applications, they are intentionally (such as in medicine) or unintentionally (environment exposure) introduced into the human body. However, to date, the detrimental effects of NPs are still unclear, especially in reproductive and developmental toxicity. In this study, we researched 266 articles related to the reproductive and developmental toxicity of NPs from 2006 to December 2016 based on the database of the Web of Science. According to the bibliometric analysis, we found that China and the United States were the leading countries in this field and the major research trends might focus on the pathogenesis of NPs, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage. By this analysis, we provide new insights into the research trends and characteristics of the field.

Background: To perform the first comparative bibliometric analysis of the “Top 100 (T100) cited articles in prostate cancer (PCa)”. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search using the Web of Science Database (v 5.21) covering the Web of Science™ Core Collection, BIOSIS Previews, Central Contents Connect, KCI-Korean Journal Database, MEDLINE, SciELO Index (February 2016) was performed, for all articles relevant to PCa. Results: The T100 were cited 582 to 3,387 times, and were published from 1966 to 2012. The top 3 subcategories associated with PCa included: genetics/biomarkers (n = 34), management (n = 25), and physiology (n = 11). T100 contributions from USA (n = 86), were most prominent. If the regional citation was corrected for percentage on research (citation record/percentage gross domestic product on research) a variation in the ranking was noted. Conclusion: The first bibliometric analysis in the field of PCa is presented. Regions that predominate the T100, include the United States and Europe. Articles published in higher impact factor journals, in English medium and content related to PCa research associated with genetics/bio-markers have the highest citation potential.
