The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has sickened more than six million people worldwide. This context has led to an abundance of publications quickly since the beginning of the outbreak. In a few months, thousands of scientific papers have appeared. This article aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the publications on COVID-19 in five high-impact journals indexed to the Web of Science Core Collection's Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) including The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, Nature, and JAMA-Journal of the American Medical Association. We found 169 documents associated with the search criteria. The findings indicate that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom are the most represented countries in these publications, The Lancet is the journal with the highest number of contributions with 66% of documents, and the University of Hong Kong leads the ranking of institutions. Future bibliometric and scientometric studies on COVID-19 should provide updated information to analyse other relevant indicators in this field.

Background: Citation analysis reflects the scientific recognition and influential performance of a published article within its field. We aim to identify the top 100 most-cited articles on astrocytoma using this bibliometric analysis method. Methods: In May 2020, we performed a thorough search in the Scopus database using the word “Astrocytoma.” The top 100 most-cited articles were arranged based on citation count in descending order. The resultant articles were then analyzed with an assessment of pertinent factors. Results: The most-cited articles on astrocytoma had been cited 23,720 times. The top-cited article received a total of 682 citations, with an average of 34.1 citations annually. The list comprised eight clinical trials, in which the highest cited article received 625 citations. Articles were published from 1975 to 2015 with the 1995–2005 era as the most prolific period. Neuropathology studies were the most studied category, followed by clinical studies. The United States of America was the most significant contributor, with 49 published articles. The University of California San Francisco was the most contributing institution by producing 11 articles. Articles were published in 32 different journals led by the Cancer Research Journal, with a total of 12 publications. Approximately 160 authors contributed to the list in which Scheithauer, B.W. contributed the most with a total of eight articles.

This study is the first bibliometric analysis of vegan-related research. This article aims to identify and organize fundamental and influential works across several decades in order to gain insight into global trends in vegan-related research. We searched the Scopus database and included all relevant articles published from 1960 (inception) to 2020. We limited our search to English language articles containing the terms “vegan,” “vegans,” or “veganism” in the title or abstract. We included all types of articles that were published in journals. We conducted a bibliometric analysis with the open-source R programming software-based Bibliometrix package. There were a total of 1440 relevant articles published in 664 journals over a span of 60 years. The first article was published in 1962. The average publication rate was 9.68 articles per year. The top journal was Nutrients with total publication of 85 (5.9%) articles and 924 total citations. The United States was the leading country with 471 articles and the University of Oxford was the most prolific institution with 59 articles. There was a total of 4586 authors with an average of 28 citations per article. McCarty from the United States was the leading author. The keyword “vegan” was the most used term with 411 occurrences, widely published in Nutrients by the United States authors. We conclude that the United States is the leading country in the field of vegan-related research and, if the trajectory we noted continues, the global trend in vegan-related research is likely to continue surging.

The objective 1 of this study was to investigate trends in breast cancer (BC) prediction using machine learning (ML) publications by analysing country, first author, journal, institutional collaborations and co-occurrence of author keywords. The objective 2 was to provide a review of studies on BC prediction using ML and a blood analysis dataset (Breast Cancer Coimbra Dataset [BCCD]), the objective 3 was to provide a brief review of studies based on BC prediction using ML and patients’ fine needle aspirate cytology data (Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset [WBCD]). The design of this study was as follows: for objective 1: bibliometric analysis, data source PubMed (2015-2019); for objective 2: systematic review, data source: Google and Google Scholar (2018-2019); for objective 3: systematic review, data source: Google Scholar (2016-2019). The results showed that the United States of America (USA) produced the highest number of publications (n=803). In total, 2419 first authors contributed towards the publications. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment was the highest ranked journal. Institutional collaborations mainly occurred within the USA. The use of ML for BC screening and detection was the most researched topic. A total of 19 distinct papers were included for objectives 2 and 3. The findings from these studies were never presented to clinicians for validations. In conclusion, the use of ML for BC screening and detection is promising.

Dr. Peter E. Dresel was a highly respected pharmacologist who played a significant role in the development of this discipline in Canada. Peter immigrated to the United States of America from Germany at a very young age. After graduating from high school and serving meritoriously in the U.S. Army during World War II, he obtained his doctorate in pharmacology from the University of Rochester in 1952. After serving in several positions in the university and in the pharmaceutical industry, Peter was recruited in 1956 by Mark Nickerson to join the fledgling Department of Pharmacology at the University of Manitoba. Nickerson's wish to develop Peter into a neuropharmacologist was never fulfilled. Instead, Peter went on to become an outstanding cardiac pharmacologist who trained a number of students, many of whom hold prestigious positions in their field of research. Having helped shape the "Nickerson Era" in Manitoba and having established a name in the cardiovascular pharmacology scene in North America, Peter became the Head of the Department of Pharmacology at Dalhousie University in Halifax in 1976. For the next 12 years Peter showed his superb academic and administrative abilities in shaping a vigorous and productive department.Peter served The Pharmacological Society of Canada in many capacities. He was a Councillor (1966–1969), Secretary (1969–1972), Vice President (1974–1975), and ultimately President (1975–1977). In addition to serving on the editorial boards of several international journals and scientific review committees, Peter was very active in university affairs, serving in the Senate at both the University of Manitoba and Dalhousie. He was also elected President of the Associate of Academic Staff at the University of Manitoba.Peter will be remembered for his unique flair. Despite his flamboyance, he had the unique ability to make his students feel at ease. His wealth of life experiences enabled him to teach his students and colleagues more than just science. He was eclectic and provocative, loyal and compassionate. Peter was never afraid of facing a challenge, nor was he too big to admit mistakes. Above all, he was extraordinarily generous in speaking of the accomplishments of his students and colleagues. Peter Dresel lived his life to the fullest, and helped those who crossed his path to do the same. His attributes will be judged not only through his contributions to science, but also by the enrichment of all who were touched by his influence.It is only befitting to honor Peter Dresel with a Memorial Issue in this Journal, which he served so well as an Associate Editor. The response of former students and colleagues has been overwhelming, and we wish to thank them all for their contributions.
