UNSTRUCTURED Introduction: The emergence of coronaviruses, including SRAS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, is thought to be a pandemic threat to human beings and has aroused considerable academic concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to map research productivity and explore the characteristics of global literatures from SARS to the emerging COVID-19. Methods: Thomson Reuters Web of Science was searched to retrieve 12632 articles related to coronavirus between 1991 and 2020, 2701 articles concerning SARS dated from 2002 to 2020 March, 566 articles corresponded to COVID-19 published by 2020 March. The parameters using VOSviewer and CiteSpaceV. Results: In SARS research field, the most prolific country was China (1115 articles; 41.2%), followed by USA (816; 30.2%). The top 3 most published institutes were University of Hong Kong, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Hong Kong. The authors with greatest numbers of publications was Yuen KY (78 articles), followed by Peiris JSM (73 articles) and Chan PKS (65 articles). “identification”, “infection”, “outbreak” and “spike protein” were found to be among the most frequently used topics. While articles relevant to COVID-19 were most published in China (43.29%) and USA (17.67%), with Fudan University being the most productive (4.06%). LANCET was the most exploited journal (IF 59.102). Besides, the most highly cited publications and co-citation reference were also unmasked from this bibliometric analysis. Conclusions: The findings will provide valuable information for current researchers to learn from the study experience and find effective strategies for COVID-19 control as soon as possible.

ObjectivesTo date, radiomics has been applied in oncology for over a decade and has shown great progress. We used a bibliometric analysis to analyze the publications of radiomics in oncology to clearly illustrate the current situation and future trends and encourage more researchers to participate in radiomics research in oncology.MethodsPublications for radiomics in oncology were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). WoSCC data were collected, and CiteSpace was used for a bibliometric analysis of countries, institutions, journals, authors, keywords, and references pertaining to this field. The state of research and areas of focus were analyzed through burst detection.ResultsA total of 7,199 pieces of literature concerning radiomics in oncology were analyzed on CiteSpace. The number of publications has undergone rapid growth and continues to increase. The USA and Chinese Academy of Sciences are found to be the most prolific country and institution, respectively. In terms of journals and co-cited journals, Scientific Reports is ranked highest with respect to the number of publications, and Radiology is ranked highest among co-cited journals. Moreover, Jie Tian has published the most publications, and Phillipe Lambin is the most cited author. A paper published by Gillies et al. presents the highest citation counts. Artificial intelligence (AI), segmentation methods, and the use of radiomics for classification and diagnosis in oncology are major areas of focus in this field. Test-retest statistics, including reproducibility and statistical methods of radiomics research, the relation between genomics and radiomics, and applications of radiomics to sarcoma and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, are frontier areas of this field.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study to provide an overview of the literature related to radiomics in oncology and may inspire researchers from multiple disciplines to engage in radiomics-related research.

Titanium is one of the widely used metal for orthopaedic implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “Titanium-based orthopaedic implants”. All published articles related to “Titanium-based orthopaedic implants” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the scientific literature regarding “Titanium-based orthopaedic implants” and also to find out the trends related to the same. The most active journal related to this research domain was Biomaterials. The most active country was the United States of America. The leading organization engaged in research regarding Titanium Based orthopaedic implants was the Brown University of the United States of America and the Chinese Academy of Sciences of China. The most active authors who had made valuable contributions related to orthopaedic implants were Webster T.J.

Abstract In the foreseeable future, human beings will continue to live on this blue planet named Earth. Our planet has limited space, resources and environmental carrying capacity, yet the human population and quality of life will continue to rise. Economic development and environmental protection are often conflicting goals, and it is a great challenge for us to achieve both at the same time: to develop sustainably. Green chemistry—the aim of making the whole industrial chain of chemistry and chemical industry environmentally friendly—has contributed, and will further contribute, to the sustainable development of the chemical industry. Recently, NSR talked with Buxing Han—an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the leading scientists in this field. Han introduced the major scientific issues of green chemistry and talked about the challenges and future developments of this field.

Objectives This study aims to evaluate the changes of development trends and research hotspots of biomaterials research from 2013 to 2017, which can identify the general information of papers and explore the changes of research content, thus providing perspectives for the development of biomaterials in China and other countries. Methods Data of the paper were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, and then analyzed by the bibliometric and CiteSpace visualization analysis. Results It was found that a total of 3,839 related papers had been published from the year 2013 to 2017. The analysis of the articles showed that the annual quantity and quality of the articles in the biomaterials research have been increasing since 2013, and the Wang L / Chinese Academy of Sciences were the most productive author/institution. Meanwhile, the keywords “in vitro”, “scaffold”, “nanoparticle” , “mechanical property”, and “biocompatibility” have the relatively higher frequency, and the keywords “apatite”, “deposition”, and “surface modification” have the strongest burst citation. Conclusions After statistics and analysis, we found that biomaterials is a promising research field. The study may be helpful in understanding research trends in this field.

Water use efficiency in agriculture (WUEA) has become a priority given increasing limitations on hydric resources. As a result, this area of research has increased in importance, becoming one of the most prolific lines of study. The main aim of this study was to present a review of worldwide WUEA research over the last 30 years. A bibliometric analysis was developed based on the Scopus database. The sample included 6063 articles. The variables analyzed were: articles per year, category, journal, country, institution, author, and keyword. The results indicate that a remarkable growth in the number of articles published per year is occurring. The main category is environmental science and the main journal Agricultural Water Management. The countries with the highest number of articles were China, the United States of America, and India. The institution that published the most articles was the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the authors from China also were the most productive.

Previous studies have shown that HMF exposure could trigger central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction-like behavioral effects and influence the cognitive processes of various animals, from insects to human beings. However, the underlying mechanism is still an enigma. In general, adult hippocampus continuously generates new-born neurons throughout animals’ life which are functionally integrated into hippocampal circuits and contribute to memory and learning, and the process of adult neurogenesis has been shown to be strongly influenced by a variety of environment stimuli. Here, we show that long-term HMF exposure markedly attenuates cell proliferation, influences multiple stages of neurogenesis of adult hippocampus, resulting in the impairments of hippocampal neurogenesis and hippocampus-dependent cognition of mice. This study provides new insights into the potential risk of long-term HMF exposure on adult hippocampus in deep space missions.</p>
