Purpose: The main purposes of this study were to analyze the document types and languages of published papers on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), along with the top authors, publications, countries, institutions, and disciplines, and to analyze the co-occurrence of keywords and bibliographic coupling of countries and sources of the most-cited COVID-19 literature.Methods: This study analyzed 16,384 COVID-19 studies published between December 2019 and June 2020. The data were extracted from the Web of Science database using four keywords: “COVID-19,” “coronavirus,” “2019-nCoV,” and “SARS-CoV-2.” The top 500 mostcited documents were analyzed for bibliographic and citation network visualization.Results: The studies were published in 19 different languages, and English (95.313%) was the most common. Of 157 research-producing countries, the United States (25.433%) was in the leading position. Wang Y (n=94) was the top author, and the <i>BMJ</i> (n=488) was the top source. The University of London (n=488) was the leading organization, and medicine-related papers (n=2,259) accounted for the highest proportion. The co-occurrence of keywords analysis identified “coronavirus,” “COVID-19,” “SARS-CoV-2,” “2019-nCoV,” and “pneumonia” as the most frequent words. The bibliographic coupling analysis of countries and sources showed the strongest collaborative links between China and the United States and between the <i>New England Journal of Medicine</i> and the <i>JAMA</i>.Conclusion: Collaboration between the United States and China was key in COVID-19 research during this period. Although BMJ was the leading title for COVID-19 articles, the co-author link between <i>New England Journal of Medicine</i> and <i>JAMA</i> was the strongest.

Digital projects are not a new undertaking by university archives, and those related to university sports are often some of the earliest created. This is the case, not only because of the evocative imagery, but also because in the United States college sport is a subject that cuts across economic, social, geographic, and educational strata. To put it plainly, the audience is huge. Thus the opportunity to connect the college sports audience with university archives, which does not normally have a large audience, is irresistible. Increasingly, repositories are taking to the web with their sports collections, while at the same time trying to balance the needs of their mission to preserve knowledge and to serve the educational, research, fiscal, legal, and service missions of their parent institution. In analyzing the successes and challenges posed by the development and implementation of the University of Oregon (UO) sports history digital exhibition and collection, lessons were learned that will improve this on-going project and that can be applied to other projects.

Objectives: To review the literature related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely pre-mature infants, summarize research direction, and report trends.Methods: CiteSpace is a Java application which supports visual exploration with knowledge discovery in bibliographic databases. Relevant articles from 2008 to 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database, and we extracted the following data: title, abstract, year, keywords, author, organization, journal and cited literature. We downloaded the data into CiteSpace (version 5.7.R3) to summarize countries, institutions, journals, and authors. We visualized the data with a knowledge map, collaborative network analysis, cluster analysis, and burst keyword analysis.Results: We identified 610 articles on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely pre-mature infants. The United States had the most articles on this topic (302 articles), followed by Canada (49 articles) and Germany (44 articles). The top three institutions, high-yield journals, and authors were all from the United States. The most common keywords were neurodevelopmental disorders, active perinatal care, mechanical ventilation, inflammation, pulmonary hypertension, low-dose hydrocortisone, development, and patent ductus arteriosus.Conclusions: This study illustrates the trends and frontiers in the study of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely pre-mature infants. The current research direction is to identify the risk factors in developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely pre-mature infants.

Abstract: This study reviewed articles originated in Brazil, in the United Kingdom, and in the United States from 1970 to September 2018 in the Web of Science database. Text mining techniques were used, and a predominantly qualitative analysis was performed, including correspondence analysis and sentiment analysis using the R Software (version 3.5.0) tools. Results show a repathologization of homosexuality in the gerontological knowledge production. This includes studies performed in 51 areas of knowledge in the three countries. That was followed by the depsychiatrization of homosexuality during the peak of deaths caused by AIDS, and its consequent recognition as an epidemiological threat. The article concludes reviewing the collected biomarkers, such as “sexual”, “risk”, “MSM”, and “HIV/AIDS”, which prove the progressive impact of sexual panic in gerontology studies and also associates AIDS with masculine homosexuality.

Abstract Objectives: To review the literature related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely premature infants, summarize research hotspots, and report trends. Methods: Relevant articles from 2008 to 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database, and we extracted the following data: title, abstract, year, keywords, author, organization, journal and cited literature. We downloaded the data into CiteSpace (version 5.7.R3) to summarize countries, institutions, journals, and authors. We visualized the data with a knowledge map, collaborative network analysis, cluster analysis, and burst keyword analysis.Results: We identified 610 articles on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely premature infants.

The current hot issues are to identify the high-risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely premature infants, reasonable hormone use, new cell therapy, and management of complications.

A ghost is wandering around the web: it is called open access, a proposal to modify the circulation system of scientific information which has landed on the sacred soil of scientific literature. The circulation system of scientific magazines has recently started faltering, not because this instrument is no longer a guarantee of quality, but rather for economic reasons. In countries such as Great Britain, as shown in the following chart, the past twenty years have seen a dramatic increase in subscription fees, exceeding by far the prices of other publishing products and the average inflation rate. The same trend applies to the United States.
