Objective: Bibliometric analysis can be used to assess the contributions of scholars, institutions, countries by examining the materials published in a certain discipline. The objective of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis in the field of pediatric anesthesia and to examine Turkey’s contribution to research in this field. Methods: I used the search engine of the Web of Science (WoS), and included all types of contributions (original articles, reviews, letters, editorials, etc.) in the bibliometric analysis. I scanned Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) as they were the most relevant indexes for my study. Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS 22. I used a binomial test to make a comparison between Turkey and other countries in terms of research output, and academic performance. Results: Pediatric Anesthesia is the only journal that positions itself in WoS categories of both “pediatrics” and “anesthesia”. A total of 5,791 citations were found in this particular journal of which 227 were from Turkey. In addition to this journal, 2,096 published materials were found in 433 different sources. Turkish authors have made only 61 contributions to these journals. Hacettepe University, Istanbul University, and Baskent University are the predominant institutions from Turkey accounting for a total of 80 published materials. Conclusion: The findings of this bibliometric analysis not only showed the contribution of Turkish authors to the field of pediatric anesthesia but also revealed the areas of improvement for their future research. The study also showed a list of journals that publish articles in the area of pediatric anesthesia.

The aim of this article is to examine the bibliometric analysis of global publication output on coronavirus, as covered in Web of Science during the period from 2000 to 2019. A total of 10,861 documents were found during a 20-year period spanning from 2000 to 2019 published in the ISI Web of Science. The study analyses annual productivity, most productive source titles, prolific countries, eminent institutions, linguistic analysis and productivity of authors and their contribution in the subject area. The findings reveal that the most productive year of publication was 2004 that included 782 publications with the majority published in the Journal of Virology. The result further indicates that the USA, China and Germany are the most productive countries in the field of Coronavirus research output. In terms of institutional output, University of Hong Kong emerged as the most productive institution; Yuen KY from Hong Kong is the most prolific author. In the subject category type, the most prominent subject field is Virology, Infectious Disease and Veterinary Science. The findings of the study are limited to the data harvested from ‘Web of Science’. This study is of immense relevance to researchers and academicians who are searching for answers to this pandemic. This will provide insights to academicians to collaborate with other researchers based on the quality of the research produced by other countries and institutes. The study is useful for researchers, immunologists and epidemiologists who are interested in the field of Coronavirus and serves as a base for future research.

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.

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.

Abstract Background: Precision medicine provides medical solutions to stratified patients with personalised forecasting outcome as an important method of treatment in the medical field. This study aims at delivering a structured overview to carry out a bibliometric analysis of precision medicine retrospectively. Methods: The compilation of data and the use of bibliometric methods based on academic databases (Science Citation Index-Expanded and PubMed) from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Research outputs, countries, institutions, authors, major journals, cited papers, hot subject areas were analysed. Results: 8,566 papers related were identified (98.728% in English) covering 1,975 different journals. The papers were originated from 109 countries; the USA held the predominant contributors with 4,635 papers, China was on second with 925 papers. Conclusions: Precision medicine serves important purposes in clinical treatment, and widely used in the oncology, biochemistry, molecular biology field. The study summarised existing work and provided guidance for future research in this promising precision medicine area.

As previous research has established that communication and public relations play a crucial role, to understand the resources needed for effective online intervention has been proven particularly helpful to locate in time the central issue. Science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science are gleaned, concerning advances in online authority research. The result indicates that the main research territory is England, accounting for 30%, then followed by USA and Spain of 20% respectively. The number of publication literature on this topic mainly distributes in recent 5 years, reaching climax of 4 in 2011. And from the analysis of research area, research on communication accounts for 40%, then followed by computer science of 30%. Overall, the related research topics can be classified in four areas: evaluation of the online authority, cognitive search models, authority in online community and online authority communication. Finally, new opportunities for future research are discussed.

Urban renewal and the built environment have become two of the hottest topics in urban planning studies. Although existing literature has started to examine both of them from different perspectives, a comprehensive review with a bibliometric analysis is necessary to fully reveal the association between them. To overcome these gaps, this paper critically reviews the literature on urban renewal and the built environment and proposes a novel research framework to systematically understand the relationship between them. Based on 155 articles which were published between 2001 and 2020 collected from the Web of Science Core Collection Database, a bibliometric analysis offers the overall development and trajectory of the existing research, and a critical review fully analyzes the relationship between the two topics from three perspectives: main categories of urban renewal, multiple stakeholders, and economic, social and environmental development needs. To better clarify the interaction mechanism between urban renewal and the built environment and guide further research in this area, a future research agenda is also provided.
