AbstractBackgroundScience studies have been a field of research for different knowledge areas and they have been successfully used to analyse the construction of scientific knowledge, practice and dissemination. In this study, we aimed to verify how the Zika epidemic has moulded scientific production worldwide analysing international collaboration and the knowledge landscape through time, research topics and country involvement.MethodologyWe searched the Web of Science (WoS) for studies published up to 31st December 2018 on Zika using the search terms “zika”, “zkv” or “zikv”. We analysed the scientific production regarding which countries have published the most, on which topics, as well as country level collaboration. We performed a scientometric analysis of research on Zika focusing on knowledge mapping and the scientific research path over time and space.FindingsWe found two well defined research areas divided into three subtopics accounting for six clusters. With regard to country analysis, the USA followed by Brazil were the leading countries in publications on Zika. China entered as a new player focusing on specific research areas. When we took into consideration the epidemics and reported cases, Brazil and France were the leading research countries on related topics. As for international collaboration, the USA followed by England and France stand out as the main hubs. The research areas most published included public health related topics from 2015 until the very beginning of 2016, followed by an increase in topics related to the clinical aspects of the disease in 2016 and the beginnings of laboratorial research in 2017/2018.ConclusionsMapping the response to Zika, a public health emergency, demonstrated a clear pattern of the participation of countries in the scientific advances. The pattern of knowledge production found in this study represented the different perspectives and interests of countries based firstly on their level of exposure to the epidemic and secondly on their financial positions with regard to science.

Great Growth

Scientific research in the communication field has experienced great growth in recent years. Recent technological changes, as well as the emergence of Web 2.0 and 3.0 and new forms of communication, such as social networks, have led to new and varied studies in the discipline. This paper analyzes the scientific production of the 27 countries with the greatest scientific production in the communication field in the period from 2003 to 2018. The results indicate that: the most productive countries are the USA, UK, and Spain; there is less international collaboration than in other disciplines, but there is a network of European collaboration that is quite dense and has great impact, and another network in Pacific countries (Asia + Oceania), albeit with lower density and impact. Resumen En los últimos años la disciplina Comunicación ha experimentado un gran crecimiento en investigación. Los recientes cambios tecnológicos, así como la irrupción de la web 2.0 y 3.0 y nuevas formas de comunicación, como las redes sociales, han propiciado nuevos y variados estudios. En este trabajo se analiza la producción científica de los 27 países con mayor producción científica en Comunicación en el período 2003-2018. Algunos resultados son: los países más productivos son Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y España; y hay menos colaboración internacional que en otras disciplinas, sin embargo, existe una red de colaboración europea bastante densa y de gran impacto, y otra red de menor densidad e impacto de países del Pacífico (Asia + Oceanía).

Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) is among the medicinal species native to Brazil, known as mastic-red and mastic-pepper, whose stem bark is used to fight inflammation of various origins, as it has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The objective of this study is to explore trends in the publications portrayed on the species S. terebinthifolius, analyzing axes such as time, countries, journals, impact factors and citations, the scientometric approach was used to summarize all the studies on S. terebinthifolius in a single article. 475 publications were used with an average number of 20.8 publications per year, encompassing 68 research areas and published in 220 different journals, covering all retractions visible on the Web of Science from 2001 until May 2021. The most productive country was Brazil with 271 articles, followed by the USA with 105 articles. The methods and results of this study can be applied to continually understand the nature of research on the species.

The Subject

The literature review is the most important step in achieving scientific research. The large amount of information can be analyzed using scientometric methods. It was downloaded a database of scientific production published in the last five years in the Clarivate Analitycs database — Web of Science - in the field of copyright. The downloaded database is analysed with VOS Viewer, scientometric analysis software. The subject analysed is used in many areas of research, as well as pure copyright, but also associated with the fields of medicine, nanoelectronics, genetics. The method used can be multiplied for any topic or domain.

Jatropha Curcas L

Jatropha curcas L., popularly known as the physic nut, is a monoecious, perennial lactiferous species belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. Recently, interest in this species has been growing, due to its ability to flourish on degraded land and in soils with low natural fertility, the high oil content of its seeds, its rapid growth and easy propagation, and the identification of several secondary metabolites with medicinal importance. This study aims to report the main trends and gaps in the global scientific literature about J. curcas L, using a scientometric analysis. We have carried out this scientometric analysis on the global literature to identify: 1) temporal publication trends; 2) the quality of scientific production, estimated using citation numbers and journal impact factors; 3) the main journals and countries interested in this topic and the language of scientific divulgation; 4) the main research fields; 5) the use of wild or commercial cultivars; and 6) average authorship levels and international collaboration networks. Our findings have revealed a continuous increase in both quantitative and qualitative parameters in studies about J. curcas. The main trends in physic nut studies involve biofuel production and the plant’s agronomic characteristics. The main knowledge gaps relating to J. curcas are in the fields of forestry, sustainability, animal nutrition, and genetic improvement. Another problem identified in this study is a lack of commercial seeds; none of the studies analyzed have used commercial seeds. India, Brazil, and China together are responsible for 55% of the knowledge about this species, obtained through scientific production. Only moderate international collaboration has been observed between countries, perhaps as consequence of conflicts of interest. Despite an increasing number of articles, some countries have stopped producing J. curcas L, and the worldwide crop production has decreased.

Covid – 19 national disasters of India declared on 13 March 2020. The word Covid 19-means China originated virus in December 2019.Covid- 19 is emerging disease worldwide and perhaps a pandemic as declared by WHO on 11 March 2020, and came into existence from Wuhan China, Hubei province on 1 December 2019.Covid-19 which not only caused havoc but also lead to an economic crisis because of health care systems.Some advancement in health and its regulations. It has mainly affected elderly persons and immunocompromised patients; pregnant women have not shown more chances of infection until now. Patients mainly present with cough, fever, shortness of breath.patient are categorized as suspected and confirmed cases, high risk and.moderate risk. Here is a discussion on pathology, clinical aspects, gynaecological aspects, forensic aspects, diagnosis, management, prevention. Preventive measures include self-isolation, quarantine, wearing a mask, use of alcohol-based sanitizer and are discussed further. Its management has antiviral therapy, ventilators support. This has set an example of community spread. It is a concern of public health emergency. It has geared up hospitals for an increase in the number of beds, staff and an emergency.
