A bibliometric analysis of research related to ocean circulation

This study is a bibliometric analysis on ocean circulation-related research for the period 1991-2005. Selected documents included "ocean circulation, sea circulation, seas circulation, marine circulation, and circulation ocean" as a part of the title, abstract or keywords

A bibliometric analysis of research related to ocean circulation

[[abstract]]This study is a bibliometric analysis on ocean circulation-related research for the period 1991-2005. Selected documents included "ocean circulation, sea circulation, seas circulation, marine circulation, and circulation ocean" as a part of the title, abstract or keywords. Analyzed parameters included the document type, the article output, the article distribution in journals, the publication activity of countries, and institutes and the authorship. An indicator, citation per publication (CPP) was applied to evaluate the scientific impact of a publication. The relationship between cumulative articles and the year was modeled. Three dominant categories were picked out, and their output increase was modeled. The USA was found to be leading the research with 47% share of total articles, with a CPP up to 5.9. Woods Hole Oceanography Institute in the USA was the most productive institute with a CPP of 6.8. In the citation analysis, a 5th year citation mode was found. A paper life model was applied to compare the cumulative citations increasing rates of different years

Scientometric Study of the Research Performance on Oceanography: The World Perspective

Scientometric methods and resulting citations have been applied to investigate the scientific performance of country. The study examines performance on the basis of output published in the Oceanographic Research output during the study period 2015 to 2019 at the world perspective. A total of 3212 articles were retrieved according to the selection criteria from Web of Science database. The study focuses on various aspect of the Oceanography Research such as growth of publications, prolific authors, document types and institutions involved. The highest number of publication is in the year 2016 with 1179 records, whereas the minimum records published in 2019 i.e. 370. The majority of articles were written by Chen XJ 22 articles. The USA was found to be leading the research with 1144 articles. The researcher suggests for further study of this area research can be carried out the Bradford’s Law, Degree of collaboration (DC), and Geographical wise distribution of the Research

Comparing the post-WWII publication histories of oceanography and marine geoscience

The UK, which has experienced the financial benefits of North Sea oil and gas, while also having an extensive fishing industry and a science base linked to other English-speaking countries and European countries, potentially illustrates some changing influences and collaborative tendencies well. In this article, differences in article publication rates and collaborative tendencies, both globally and for the UK, are examined using the Web of Science™, Scopus™ and Georef™ for the period 1946–2018. The results show that publication rates of global oceanography articles rose exponentially faster than all global scientific publishing from the mid-1960s to 1980. Subsequently, the exponential rate of increase slowed though has remained faster than global science publishing. Global Marine Geoscience publication rates increased into the late 1980s, but have since declined. UK oceanography has roughly followed global trends, though its share of global oceanographic publishing declined from 28% in the 1950s to 8% in 2018. UK Marine Geoscience publishing has also generally followed global trends for that field. However, its share of global publications abruptly increased from 4.9% (average 1960–1980) to 13.2% by 1990, largely due to articles arising from UK participation in the Deep-Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program. Oceanography and marine geoscience have also experienced strongly differing histories of collaborative articles over the last four decades. While oceanographic articles co-authored with researchers in other countries have been steadily increasing as a share of total UK Oceanography articles, those of marine geoscience peaked in 1990 and have since declined, though remained at high levels similar to those experienced by 2018 in Oceanography. Comparing global publication rates in both fields with measures of data and sample collection at sea suggests fundamental changes occurred in the way research was carried out. For example, Marine Geoscience publication rates were strongly correlated with geophysical track-line distances for the decade until ~1970, but were inversely correlated for the decade after then. This reflects, for example, the development of plate tectonics, which partly involved analysis of existing marine geophysical data, improved equipment capabilities and the increased role of scientific drilling
