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.

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.

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.



Clinical pharmacy is one of the areas in which pharmacists work that appeared decades ago; however, it is necessary to know the Brazilian reality of scientific production about it.

Business and academic interests in open innovation have increased; however, the evolution of this topic in the emerging countries is unknown. This article aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of open innovation in developed and emerging countries. The research has covered 1,925 articles between the years 2000 and 2014 in Web of Science (WoS) database. The terms ‘open innovation’, ‘user innovation’, ‘cumulative innovation, ‘trading know-how’, ‘mass innovation’, ‘distributed innovation’, ‘innovative cooperation’ and ‘collaborative innovation’ have been selected as research keywords, considering their presence in the title, abstract or based on the keywords of the articles. The countries were divided into two groups (developed countries, i.e., G7, and emerging countries, i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa [BRICS]) depending on the degree of research maturity described in their studies on open innovation. Data analyses have revealed a significant increase in the research on open innovation in the past years. However, it was found that a huge discrepancy exists between the two groups on the number of publications and citations. This study confirms, through a bibliometric analysis, some differences which could be found between the two groups and their influence on the reversal of this scenario, which indirectly affects the development of the emerging countries. It was also found that the groups G7 or BRICS are not statistically important factors for the further development of open innovation research. Analyzing individually, G7 countries have greater relevance in the conduction of studies on open innovation, whereas the BRICS countries are still at an embryonic stage of research on this topic.

Background Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is a recently discovered cytokine that plays a role in immune suppression and has therefore been the subject of a great deal of research. A bibliometric analysis of the global research concerning IL-35, however, is rare. Objectives The aim of this research was to assess the international scientific output of IL-35 research and explore its hotspots and frontiers from 2009 to 2018 by bibliometric analysis. Methods Publications about IL-35 research from 2009 to 2018 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Citespace V was used to analyze years, journals, countries, research institutions, areas of exploration, research hotspots, and trends of publication. Results We retrieved a total of 416 publications and observed a trend of publications increasing over the past decade. Original articles (351) were the most frequently occurring document type. The largest number of publications belonging to one country and one institution, respectively, was China (202) and Tianjin Medical University (17). Trending keywords may indicate frontier topics, including “infectious tolerance,” “autoimmune,” and “central nervous system.” Conclusion This study provides valuable information on the study of IL-35 so that researchers may identify new research fields.
