During the past decade, an increase in the number of studies about dental erosion has been observed. The aim of the present study was to describe the current trends in published scientific articles related to dental erosion between 2011 and 2020. Data of the authors, year and language of publication were analyzed. A bibliometric analysis of the articles published in PubMed was conducted using the MeSH terms (dental erosion) and (tooth erosion) using the Boolean operator OR/AND. A sample of n = 1090 articles published during the past ten years (2011–2020) was obtained. The variables analyzed were the language of the article, the year of publishing, the number of authors, the affiliations of the first and last author and the relationship between them. The countries of origin of the first and last author were ranked according to the number of publications, led by Brazil, the UK, and the USA. During the analysis of the type of article, we observed that 79.4% of all publications were research articles. In recent years, a significant increase in research articles on dental erosion has been observed, especially in Brazil and the UK, with a high number of publications of translational articles in humans and cross-sectional observational studies. The main findings in this article will help researchers, academics and students to characterize scientific results regarding dental erosion, to evaluate management strategies and to identify important topics and issues that will help design future research.

The comments of Nicholas Sarkozy provide a powerful and forceful opening to Dr Richard's article and remind us of the potential significance of academic considerations of colonial legacies in the contemporary world. Dr Richard argues strongly against static conceptualizations of pre-‘Atlantic-era’ Africa and seeks to recast Africans not as victims, but as active ‘producers of history and culture’ (p. 26). In so doing he aligns himself with current trends in critical scholarship on colonial encounters in the Atlantic worlds of the last four centuries, scholarship that overtly criticizes dichotomous understandings of such encounters in favour of approaches that emphasize ambiguity (e.g. Hall 2000; Silliman 2001; 2009; Stahl 2007). Dr Richard's introductory suggestion that we should formulate ‘new questions instead of supplying different answers to the quandaries of an earlier generation of historians’ (p. 3) is clearly applicable to studies of colonial arenas beyond West Africa. In all parts of the world touched by European colonialism (including, of course, Europe itself) the ways in which scholars approach their subjects are very much conditioned by more widely held cultural memories, whatever the relationship of those memories may be to whatever may have occurred in the past.

Project management, as a subsidiary of social science, is a vast and varied topic of the area of knowledge. In the past decades, many studies have compiled an immense amount of information for theoreticians and practitioners in this field. In this paper, traditional and novel methods of bibliometric analysis are introduced through a survey for analyzing the history of research in project management. This study focuses on the last four decades of publications on project management, from 1980 to 2019. In the survey, the number of publications, the countries of publication, the cooperating relations among those countries, and the top categories of publications are analyzed. The extraction of publication keywords and the investigation of knowledge seeds are also presented. In the survey, the examination of the network of top occurring keywords, keyword clustering, together with the keyword correlation matrix, were used to explore the main trends in project management. A novel indicator, called the ICCO ranking, is presented by using the degree, betweenness and cluster coefficient of the network of keywords. Using this indicator, the potential knowledge seeds in project management may be identified.

The landfill is an important method of disposal of municipal solid waste. In particular, the landfill is especially vital in many developing countries, with it being the main biodegradable waste disposal method due to its simple management and ability for mass manipulation. Landfills have recently been shown to be an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by researchers in different countries. However, few reviews have been conducted within the related fields, which means that there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding related to relevant study achievements. In this study, a bibliometric analysis of articles published from 1999 to 2018 on landfill GHG emissions was presented to assess the current trends, using the Web of Science (WOS) database. The most productive countries/territories, authors and journals were analyzed. Moreover, the overall research structure was characterized based on co-cited references, emerging keywords and reference citations by means of bibliometric analysis. Due to the increasing amount of attention being paid to the GHG emissions and their mitigation methods, this study provided comprehensive bibliometric information on GHG emissions from landfills over the past two decades and highlighted the importance of the development and dissemination of updated knowledge frameworks.

The main aims of the present review are to provide a bibliometric analysis of the research published on the nutrition of the exercising horse from 1970 to 2010 and to determine whether this research has had any practical impact on feeding practices. In addition, we evaluated whether some of the key nutritional questions posed at the beginning of the 1980s have in fact been answered. Less than 300 publications were published in the period 1970-1980, but a large increase in the number of publications was observed between the period 1981-1990 and the period 1991-2000. Most papers were published in the Equine Veterinary Journal and American researchers, universities or institutes were particularly productive. The majority of the publications were in the areas of fluid balance, fat and glucose metabolism. Using information from field studies, there appears to have been a trend for a reduction in the amount of starch rich concentrates fed to performance horses from 1979 to 2007 and an increase in the use of oil supplementation. Whilst there have been several significant advances in our scientific knowledge of nutritional practices over the past few decades that have become routine practice in the field, others have not cascaded down. Unfortunately, we have not really fully answered any of the questions posed in the early 1980s and whilst it is possible that such questions can never be fully answered, there is also a concern that lack of sufficient funding, especially for the fundamental pieces of information needed to underpin our nutrition advice, will hamper progress in the future.

This paper presents the current trends analysis of research into the psychological time of personality in foreign and domestic psychology, justified the need to study the dynamics of psychological time at the period of youth at conditional points of bifurcation associated with the forced need to make personal choices: in early and late youth. The reasonability of investigating the relationship of psychological time with personal identity as a predictor of self-realisation or maladaptation of personality at the stage of youth is shown. The pilot study presented in this work is aimed at identifying differences in the content characteristics and structure of psychological time in early and late youth. The ascertaining experiment was conducted with two groups (the total number of participants is 50 people). Diagnostic toolkit: the technique of F. Zimbardo on the time perspective (ZTPI), adapted by A. Syrtsova, the technique Time Experience Scale by E.I. Golovakhi, A.A. Kronik, as well as the technique Identity Status according to Marcia in the modification of the questionnaire G. and R. Aminev. Methods of mathematical statistics: t-Students criterion for independent samples and Pearsons index of linear correlation. The data obtained in the pilot study made it possible to draw conclusions that 1) the meaningful characteristics of psychological time in different periods of youth are not identical, 2) the characteristics of psychological time significantly correlate with the status of personality identity, and such a relationship is more important precisely in the period of early adolescence. The obtained data provided an opportunity to clarify the further direction of research and to outline the necessary ways of psychological support of the person during his youth in the conditions of modern social reality. For the prevention of maladaptation and destructive realization of the personality in the period of youth, targeted work is proposed with the psychological time of the personality, with the adoption of the past and the planning of the future, the determination of priorities, goal setting and the formation of temporal competence.

Abstract Background: There has been rapid development of migraine research in the past 20 years in China and around the world. We analyzed the development trend of migraine research, and made a bibliometric analysis on the growth trend of the total number of publications, countries, institutions, authors, cited references and keywords from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 by applying visualization software, and constructed the relevant knowledge map, and found the trends and hot spots in the field through comparison. Methods: Retrieved the literature on migraine in the Web of Science database from 2000-2009 and 2010-2019 respectively, and then utilized CiteSpace to conduct bibliometric analysis to acquire the knowledge mapping. Results: The total number of publications each year has increased year by year, and the average annual growth rate from 2000 to 2009 was 7.999%, while from 2010 to 2019 was 5.348%, with a faster growth rate from 2000 to 2009. According to the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords, 10/11, 12/11, 12/11, and 8/9 categories were obtained from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 respectively. The most productive countries, institutions, and authors are the USA, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Lipton RB from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, whose frequency is 4274/7107, 322/592, and 279/472 respectively. However, the most important of them are Belgium/ Pakistan, Houston Headache Clin/ Amgen Inc, and Lipton RB/ Klatt J, owing to their highest centrality, they are 1.20/1.08, 1.13/1.32, and 1.22/0.89 separately. Moreover, Cited references that contributed to the most co-citations are Silberstein SD (2004)/ Bes A (2013) from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, however, the most vital cited reference is Welch KMA (2001)/ Goadsby PJ (2017). Keywords such as migraine, headache, prevalence, and the double blind are the most frequently used. But prevalence is the crucial keyword. In the cluster analysis of institutions, authors, cited references, and keywords from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019, the more convincing research categories are potential anti-migraine agent/ chronic migration prevention, reducing headache recurrence/ following symptomatic treatment, to-left shunt/ placebo controlled phase, spectrum study/ family study hemiplegic migraine, with S values of 0.952/0.956, 0.985/0/986, 0.981/0.970 and 0.985/0.982 respectively. Furthermore, the hotspots in this field are “stimulation”, “triptan” from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. Conclusion: Based on the bibliometric analysis in the past 20 years, the knowledge mapping of the country, institution, author, cited reference, and the keyword is gained, which has an important guiding significance for quickly and accurately positioning the trend in this field.
