Worldwide Scientific Research on Nanotechnology: A Bibliometric Analysis of Tendencies, Funding, and Challenges

This document is the unedited Author¿s version of a Submitted Work that was subsequently accepted for publication in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review. To access the final edited and published work see https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.0c02141.[EN] The main objective of this investigation was to analyze the scientific production in global research on nanotechnology, integrating scientific production, funding of studies, collaborations between countries, and the most cited publications. The source for obtaining the research papers for our analysis was the Science Citation Index Expanded from the Web of Science. A total of 3546 documents were extracted during the period of 1997-2018. Food science & technology, chemistry (applied and analytical), spectroscopy, and agriculture appeared as the main areas where the articles were published. Most prolific and cited journals were Analytical Methods, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, and Food Chemistry. The co-word analysis showed the relationships between "nanoparticles", which is the central word, and "silver nanoparticles", "delivery systems", and "zincnanoparticles". The most productive countries were China (1089 papers), the United States (523), Iran (427), and India (359). The main cited topics deal with the biomedical applications of nanoparticles, its synthesis from plants, and its applications in food science. The results highlight an important collaboration between institutions and countries. The availability of funding for research in nanotechnology was remarkable compared to other fields. The multidisciplinarity of the nanotechnology field is one of the main features as well as one of the central findings.Aleixandre-Tudó, JL.; Bolaños Pizarro, M.; Aleixandre Benavent, JL.; Aleixandre-Benavent, R.

Information sources in health sciences in Internet

En este trabajo se describen las principales fuentes de información en ciencias de la salud que pueden ser útiles para los profesionales de la traducción médica, fundamentalmente las bases de datos bibliográficas de información científica nacionales y extranjeras y los buscadores de información en Internet, así como la metodología para efectuar búsquedas bibliográficas precisas y exhaustivas. Se hace hincapié en las posibilidades de Internet para el acceso a los trabajos académicos y científicos, la navegación a través de los documentos hipertextuales y el acceso al documento original en diversos formatos. Por último, se analizan algunas aplicaciones de la web 2.0 destinadas a mejorar la comunicación y el conocimiento y las principales estrategias para mantenerse al día de las nuevas informaciones que van incorporándose al conocimiento en las revistas, bases de datos y páginas web y que son de nuestro interés.This paper describes the main sources of information on health sciences that may be useful to medical translators. We focus on domestic and foreign bibliographic databases and Internet search engines, as well as a methodology for carrying out accurate and comprehensive literature searches. We emphasize the Internet’s potential with regard to accessing academic and scientific papers, hypertext navigation and access to the original document in various formats. Finally, we explore some Web 2.0 applications for improving communication and knowledge and the main strategies for keeping current on the new information that is continually added to journals, databases and websites in our areas of interest

Impact factor, commercial competition between Thomson Reuters and Elsevier, and economic crisis

The use of the impact factor has evolved and it has become the indicator to measure not only the quality of journals but also of authors and research groups, provoking strong reactions from publishers, researchers, librarians and evaluation committees. This paper presents a reflection about the relationship between strategies and business decisions of private companies (such as Elsevier and Thomson Reuters) and the Spanish system of evaluating scientific activity

Scientific communication in 2011

An analysis of the situation of scientific communication in 2011 highlights some of the more relevant events, news and issues. Topics discussed include: the open access initiative and institutional repositories, semantic interoperability and linked data, use of the internet, right to information, rise of professional and academic profiles on the Web, trends in bibliometric indicators, consolidation of national scientific evaluation tools, trends observed in conferences and congresses, and the race for rankings in scientific publication between the United States, China and Europe

La contribució científica de l'exili: El cas de la revista «CIENCIA» (1940-1975)

The Exiles’ Scientifi c Contribution. Citing the Journal Ciencia (1940-1975).Ciencia was a publication launched by Spanish scientists, exiled due to the Civil War (1936-1939), through which they disseminated their work. Despite economic setbacks, which were to blame for the irregularity of its issues, the magazine became an internationally renowned focus of study between 1941and 1975, during which time it was published in Mexico. The Editorial Board brought together the major names in Spanish science that had been forced to leave the country. Noteworthy was the high female participation in writing articles for publication, touching on topic areas such as Biomedical Sciences

Differences by gender and role in PhD theses on sociology in Spain

Trabajo presentado a la 15th International Society of Scientometrics and Informetrics Conference, celebrada en Estambúl (Turquia) del 29 de junio al 4 de julio de 2015.In recent years, there has been a growth in the number of papers that synthesize empirical research studies on gender and sex inequalities in academic statements. Furthermore, these studies can comply with European requirements of equalities since the Treaty of Amsterdam of 1999 enacted that equality between men and women should be included in all policies (Fernández Álvarez, 2014). Theses are the research papers by excellence and a good indicator to elucidate the lines and research trends in a field of science, since this work must be original and specialized and are subject to a rigorous academic assessment (Delgado López Cózar et al., 2006). Our objective is to analyse the differences in gender representation in the Spanish sociological theses focusing on three actors involved in the process: PhD students, supervisors and academic assessment boards.This work has benefited from assistance by the National R+D+I of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of the Spanish Government (CSO2012-39632-C02-01) and Prometeo Program for excellent research groups of Generalitat Valenciana (GVPROMETEO2013-041).Peer reviewe

Analysis of the collaboration between the US and the EU in viticulture and Oenology

[EN] The network of scientific collaboration in viticulture and oenology between the United States and the European Union was studied for the period 1991-2010. A total of 498 articles were published collaboratively during this time. The most collaborative institutions in the US were the University of California Davis and Cornell University (New York), and the most collaborative institutions in the EU were Institut Nationale de la Recherche Agronomique (France), the Italian universities of Milan, Bologna and Udine, and the Spanish University of Barcelona. We note a considerable increase in collaboration in recent years, with the University of California Davis situated in a central position in the network.Aleixandre-Benavent, R.; Aleixandre Tudo, J.; González-Alcaide, G.; Aleixandre Benavent, JL.

Current trends in scientific research on global warming: a bilbiometric analysis

[EN] The objective of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the scientific knowledge in global warming, as well as to investigate the evolution of the research knowledge through the published papers included in Web of Science database. A bibliometric and social network analyses was performed to obtain indicators of scientific productivity, impact and collaboration between researchers, institutions and countries. A subject analysis was also carried out taking into account the key words assigned to papers and subject areas of journals. A number of 1,672 articles were analysed since 2005 until 2014. The most productive journals were Journal of Climate (n = 95) and the most frequent keyword have been climate change (n = 722). The network of collaboration between countries shows the central position of the USA. Papers on the topic are published in a vast amount of journals from several subject categories.
