UNSTRUCTURED Introduction: The emergence of coronaviruses, including SRAS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, is thought to be a pandemic threat to human beings and has aroused considerable academic concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to map research productivity and explore the characteristics of global literatures from SARS to the emerging COVID-19. Methods: Thomson Reuters Web of Science was searched to retrieve 12632 articles related to coronavirus between 1991 and 2020, 2701 articles concerning SARS dated from 2002 to 2020 March, 566 articles corresponded to COVID-19 published by 2020 March. The parameters using VOSviewer and CiteSpaceV. Results: In SARS research field, the most prolific country was China (1115 articles; 41.2%), followed by USA (816; 30.2%). The top 3 most published institutes were University of Hong Kong, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Hong Kong. The authors with greatest numbers of publications was Yuen KY (78 articles), followed by Peiris JSM (73 articles) and Chan PKS (65 articles). “identification”, “infection”, “outbreak” and “spike protein” were found to be among the most frequently used topics. While articles relevant to COVID-19 were most published in China (43.29%) and USA (17.67%), with Fudan University being the most productive (4.06%). LANCET was the most exploited journal (IF 59.102). Besides, the most highly cited publications and co-citation reference were also unmasked from this bibliometric analysis. Conclusions: The findings will provide valuable information for current researchers to learn from the study experience and find effective strategies for COVID-19 control as soon as possible.

Abstract In the two decades since the debut of the Digital Earth (DE) vision, a concerted international effort has engaged in nurturing the development of a technology framework and harnessing applications to preserve the planet and sustain human societies. Evolutionary threads can be traced to key historic and multidisciplinary foundations, which were presciently articulated and represented at the first International Symposium on Digital Earth hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999. Pioneering groups in government, industry, and academia have cultivated this fertile futuristic conceptual model with technological incubation and exploratory applications. An array of space-age developments in computers, the internet and communications, Earth observation satellites, and spatially oriented applications sparked an innovative discipline. The Beijing Declaration on Digital Earth is recognized for its role in promulgating the series of International Symposia on Digital Earth to promote understanding of the impacts of DE technology and applications on behalf of humankind. Combinations of industrial, academic, and government organizations have rapidly advanced the technological components necessary for implementing the DE vision. Commercial leaders such as Google have accelerated the influence of DE for large segments of society. Challenges remain regarding requisite collaboration on international standards to optimize and accelerate DE implementation scenarios. This chapter provides an overview of the DE initiative and basic framework, the global response to DE, the evolution of DE, its relationship to key global science initiatives, and the response to global challenges.

The Biochemical Society and Portland Press have a strong history in recent years of fostering collaborative initiatives in China. In September 2007, a delegation comprising Professor George Banting (the then outgoing Chair of the Biochemical Journal Editorial Board), Professor Peter Shepherd (the then incoming Chair) and key staff visited institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong Kong to raise awareness of the Society and its publishing portfolio in China. The relationships established during this initial trip were further strengthened over the following 2 years and subsequently led, in May 2011, to the opening of an Editorial Office for the Biochemical Journal at the prestigious Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing under the direction of Professor Tao Xu, Vice Chair Asia-Pacific [see The Biochemist volume 33, no. 5 (October 2011), pp. 30–35].
