The development of computer science research in the People's Republic of China 2000-2009: A bibliometric study

This paper reports a bibliometric study of the development of computer science research in the People's Republic of China in the 21st century, using data from the Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports and CORE databases. Focusing on the areas of data mining, operating systems and web design, it is shown that whilst the productivity of Chinese research has risen dramatically over the period under review, its impact is still low when compared with established scientific nations such as the USA, the UK and Japan. The publication and citation data for China are compared with corresponding data for the other three BRIC nations (Brazil, Russian and India). It is shown that China dominates the BRIC nations in terms of both publications and citations, but that Indian publications often have a greater individual impact. © The Author(s) 2012

Modeling the Growth of Food Science and Technology Literature in India

Purpose: The purpose of the research paper is to find the most appropriate growth model in the field of Food Science and Technology in India. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Growth rate functions α1 and α2 methodology suggested by Egghe and Rao. Findings: The research shows that Growth of the Food Science and Technology Literature is viable in terms of Publications as well as in Citations. Research Limitations/ Implications: The research area is limited to Food Science and Technology area in India only. Originality/Value: The growth rate functions in the field of food science and technology particularly in India is not performed earlie

Bibliometrics and scientometrics in India: An overview of studies during 1995-2014Part II: Contents of the articles in terms of disciplines and their bibliometric aspects

This part of the study highlights the contents of the published articles in terms of various disciplines or sub-disciplines and the bibliometric aspects discussed in these articles. The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals. Papers dealing with bibliometric laws received a low priority as compared to other subdisciplines of bibliometrics/scientometrics. The analysis of data indicates that the share of theoretical studies using mathematical and statistical techniques which were missing in the earlier period (1970-1994) has increased during 1995-2014. The field of medicine as a discipline received the highest attention as compared to other disciplines

Revisiting De Solla Price: growth dynamics studies of various subjects over last one hundred years

17-35The stalwart historian of science, Derek J. De Solla Price delivered a series of lectures at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1962, which was dedicated to discussing science and its interaction with society. The collection of these lectures was published in 1963 as a book entitled Little Science, Big Science. Here, Price empirically established that the initial exponential growth pattern of literature reaches a ceiling after a certain time span, which results a logistic growth pattern. This paper analyses Price's empirical theory on the basis of 198 articles that presented growth of literature of variant subjects published since 1913 to 2018. In all, 214 growth models were reported by the 198 articles that analysed growth of literature of more than 50 subjects. It is found that growth patterns reported by nearly 50% articles followed Price's empirical theory, i.e., exponential and logistic growth pattern while remaining 50% articles followed other growth patterns, viz., power model, linear model, etc. All growth models reported by the 198 articles were broadly categorised into five groups on the basis of statistical characteristics, viz., (exponential + logistic), growing without definite pattern (GWDP), linear, non-linear and decaying models. The null hypothesis formulated states that 214 growth models observed by different subjects described in 198 articles will follow either of the five patterns that will be guided by Bradford's Law of Bibliographic Scattering. The null hypothesis is accepted by Chi-square test. It is inferred that the distribution of different models of growth of literature is guided by Bradford's Law where the core or nucleus zone is occupied by the logistic and exponential model, i.e. Price's empirical model prevails in Bradford's nuclear (core) zone

Bradford’s Law Applicability to the Bacterial Blight Research: A Bibliometric Study

The present study test Bradford’s Law of scattering for the literature related to ‘Bacterial Blight’ research for the period 1989- 2021 as reflected in the Web of Science Core Collection database (Science Citation Index expanded). A total of 4748 articles related to Bacterial Blight research published and are scattered in 643 journals during the study period are retrieved. It was observed that the Phytopathology ranks first with total 5.22% (248) publications share, followed By Plant Disease ranks 2nd with 4.82% (229) publications, Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions ranks 3rd with 2.49% (118) publications

Frontiers in Radio Astronomy Research in India (1999-2012): A Scientometric Study

This study discusses the research performance and productivity of India institutions in its publications reflected in Science Citation Index Expanded in the field of Radio Astronomy research during the year 1999-2012. The Indian publications have grown steadily from 4.357% (298) in 1999 to 11.9% (814) publications in 2012. Among top ten Indian Institutes IUCAA ranks first with highest h-index 67, followed by TIFR with 58 h-index, IIAP with 39 h-index, RRI and Panjab University with 35 h-index each

Experimental and Thermodynamical Modeling of Ore-Forming Processes in Magmatic and Hydrothermal Systems

This special issue book includes 10 original research papers that discuss and solve some problems of ore-forming processes in magmatic and hydrothermal systems. Some of these papers in the issue deal with experimental and thermodynamical modeling, while the others are devoted to analytical geochemistry, geochronology and genesis of some ore occurrences. I hope that these papers will be useful for scientists who work on the fundamental problems of ore-forming processes and the genesis of ore deposits, and will provide new ideas for future research
