Introduction: In contrast with other tropical countries, Cuba has been frequently studied from the point of views of scientometrics. It has been reported that Cuban researchers often failed to cite other Cuban researchers or to collaborate with them, and that 78 % of the Cuban scientifc output is published in Cuban journals and mostly missed by Scopus and the Web of Science. Objective: In this article, we analyze article characteristics (subject, language, authorship), institutions and journals that appear in the Science Citation Index Expanded, as well as citations from the Web of Science Core Collection. Methods: We analyzed publications from Cuba, dated 1900 to 2019, that reached the index. Results: We retrieved a total of 23576 publications, mostly articles. In this database, English is the dominant language, and, over time, articles have become longer and increased the number of authors and references. Numerically, the leading institution is Universidad de La Habana. Research is strongly concentrated around medical subjects. Collaboration teams lead by foreign authors have more citations recorded by the database, where the number of Cuban articles has decreased after 2008. Conclusion: For Cuban publications that reach the Science Citation Index Expanded (under 22%), most research is applied to health subjects and productivity has decreased in the last decade.

Aim This study charts the growth of the scientific journal literature on headache for 30+ years (1983–2014). Methods Using the Web of Science, articles published in four two-year periods (1983–1984, 1993–1994, 2003–2004, 2013–2014) from journals indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded database were retrieved and analyzed. Results From 1983–1984 to 2013–2014, the scientific literature on headache increased nearly fourfold (3.8) from 468 to 1776 articles; the number of participating countries more than doubled (26 to 67); and the two most prolific countries in each period were the USA and Italy. While several European countries (Italy, Germany, UK and Denmark) were among the top 10 in each period, the notable appearance of Turkey, China and Brazil among the top 10 in 2013–2014 indicates the growing geographic spread of publications on headache research. Meanwhile, the comet-like distribution of journals has not changed: two journals, Headache and Cephalalgia, persist throughout as the nucleus, with the tail increasing more than threefold from 141 journals in 1983–1984 to 462 in 2013–2014. Conclusion Our study follows the recent growth and spread of the scientific literature on headache research and should stimulate further bibliometric investigation in this field.

COVID-19 breakout calls for immediate research explorations. The objective of this study is to perform a bibliometric analysis of all COVID-19-related publications in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) in the early stage of the outbreak. Analysis parameters include performances of authors, institutes, and countries as well as distributions of Web of Science categories, journals, languages, and types of publications. Results show that 32% of total papers were published as editorial materials and an overwhelming production from Chinese research institutes. An association of research indexes with the number of cases was also found.

O látex é uma borracha natural obtida da árvore Hevea brasiliensis da região norte brasileira. Este material possui diversas aplicações na indústria, por sua propriedade viscoelástica e potencialidades de aplicação na área têxtil, automotiva, médica, entre outras. Perante tal fato, o presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar as publicações científicas realizadas, nos últimos cinco anos, sobre as potencialidades do látex como biomaterial na área médica. Os trabalhos científicos selecionados foram obtidos nas bases de dados: Elsevier (CrossRef), Medline/Pubmed (NLM), Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Scopus (Elsevier), SCIELO, LILACS, Google acadêmico, Clinicaltrials.gov, Science Direct e na plataforma Periódicos CAPES. Acessados o portal Periódicos CAPES, utilizou-se as palavras-chaves “biomaterial”, “biomedical engineering”, “health”, “medicine” e “latex”, e com período de busca de 2014-2018, para artigos revisados por pares. Como resultado desta pesquisa bibliográfica, verificou-se que o látex tem sido utilizado, principalmente, em regeneração óssea com 21,52% das publicações obtidas. 14,91% apresentaram estudos na área de estética e 14,69% na área de oftalmológica, entre outras aplicações. Observou-se que as perspectivas futuras para o uso de látex têm crescido significativamente nos últimos cinco anos, gerando benefícios à sociedade pela sua ação terapêutica e pela geração de empregos na sua obtenção.

Este artículo compara la producción científica de Perú y Ecuador entre 2009 y 2018. Se recuperaron documentos con al menos una afiliación peruana o ecuatoriana desde el Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index y Emerging Sources Citation Index de la base de datos Web of Science. Se evaluaron la tendencia y el crecimiento exponencial de la producción científica, se identificaron instituciones y áreas temáticas más productivas. Se estudió la estructura intelectual de la producción científica peruana y ecuatoriana mediante el análisis de acopla-miento bibliográfico de autores (AABA) y el análisis de cocitación de autores (ACA). Los resultados muestran que Perú tiene mayor producción acumulada que Ecuador. Sin embargo, Ecuador tiene mayor producción en los tres últimos años, incluso con pronóstico de seguir produciendo más que Perú. Las instituciones más productivas en ambos países son las universidades, y las categorías temáticas más productivas para Perú son salud ocupacional y ambiental y, para Ecuador son investigación educativa y ciencias ambientales.

Представлен анализ динамики публикационной активности России в области энергетики и топлива (Energy&Fuels) за 2008-2017 гг. В качестве источников данных были использованы семь БД Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), аналитический инструмент InCites и национальная база данных Russian Science Citation Index - Clarivate (RSCI-C), расположенная на платформе WoS. Показано, что мировой поток по разделу Energy&Fuels (E&F) за 2008-2017 гг. увеличился в 3,1 раза, тогда как по всем разделам - только в 1,4 раза. Объем массива публикаций в мире по E&F составил более 406,2 тыс. единиц, а в России - 6,7 тыс. Несмотря на снижение ранга РАН среди лидирующих организаций по E&F в мире с 5-го в 2008 г. до 18-го в 2017г., доля её публикаций в журналах первого и второго квартилей составила 80% от её массива по этой проблеме в 2017 г. Значения показателей цитируемости публикаций России по E&F существенно ниже, чем соответствующие значения для лидирующих по E&F стран. Значительное различие было выявлено в распределении ведущих организаций по данным WoS-CC и RSCI-C соответственно. Негативным фактором является небольшое количество публикаций российских авторов с традиционными соавторами из Германии и США. Международное научное сотрудничество России в области E&F менее интенсивно, чем в целом по РФ.

Bir makalenin çok sayıda atıf alması ilgili olduğu bilim alanına katkısını gösterir. Bu amaçla, 2000-2004 yılları arasında adli tıp uzman ve asistanlarının katkısı ile Science Citation Index/Expanded kapsamındaki dergilerde yayınlanmış olan 86 yayının, Scopus ve Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanlarındaki atıf sayıları ve yayınlandıkları dergilerin etki değerleri araştırıldı. Her iki veri tabanındaki atıf sayılarına göre yayın etki değeri hesaplandı. Çalışma grubunu oluşturan yayınların etki değerinin 1.48 olduğu (WoS için) ve ülke ortalamasının altında kaldığı saptandı. Bu durum yayınların yarısının yayınlanmış olduğu dergilerin etki değerinin görece düşük olması ile açıklanabilir. Yayınların etki değeri, 2001 yılında en yüksek (Scopus: 3.18, WoS: 2.64), 2004 yılında en düşük (Scopus: 1, WoS: 0.78) idi. 2004 yılındaki yayın etki değerinin düşük olması, taramanın yapıldığı zamana kadar geçen sürenin kısa oluşu ve bu süreçte yayınların yaklaşık yarısının hiç atıf almamış olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır.Anahtar kelimeler: Adli tıp, Türkiye’nin adli tıp yayınları, atıf, etki değeri
