TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the global scientific output of simulation research in "meteorology and atmospheric sciences" for the past 16 years and assessed the characteristics of the atmospheric simulation research patterns, tendencies and methods in the papers, from leading countries and institutes.
Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the global scientific output of simulation research in "meteorology and atmospheric sciences" for the past 16 years and to assess the characteristics of the atmospheric simulation research patterns, tendencies and methods in the papers, from leading countries and institutes. Data were based on the online version of Science Citation Index, Web of Science from 1992 to 2007. Articles referring to atmospheric simulation were assessed by exponential regression fitting the trend of publication outputs with r 2 = 0.9996, distribution of source countries, source institutes, source titles, author keywords, and keywords plus, and the four most cited articles in these years. By synthetic analysis of the three kinds of keywords, it was concluded that atmospheric simulation research related to "ozone", "climate", "circulation", "transport", "parameterization" and "assimilation" will be foci of atmospheric simulation research in the 21 st century.

TL;DR: There is a big difference between 2607 and 3057 publications found by the same method as noticed in the original paper (Yang et al. 2017), which stated that 2607 publications in ten document types were found in the SCIExpanded based on the given words during the years 1991– 2015.
Abstract: Yang et al. (2017) recently published a paper in this journal entitled “Mapping the scientific research on non-point source pollution: A bibliometric analysis.”Many of the related results presented in the original paper (Yang et al. 2017) are not acceptable because of the use of inappropriate search filters. Yang et al. (2017) stated in “Materials and methods” that “Non-point source pollution” or “Nonpoint source pollution” or “diffuse pollution” were used to search titles, author keywords, keywords plus, and abstracts of all publications and also in “Results and discussion” that “A total of 2607 publications in ten document types were found in the SCIExpanded based on the given words during the years 1991– 2015.” In fact, a total of 3057 publications in 11 document types were found by the same method as noticed in the original paper (Yang et al. 2017). There is a big difference between 2607 and 3057 publications. The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) database, originally designed for researchers to find literatures but not bibliometric study. Thus, it is necessary to have a bibliometric treatment when using the Web of Science database. However, Yang et al. (2017) considered keywords contained

TL;DR: It was revealed that classic works of wind tunnel research was frequently occurred in 1990s but much less in 2000s, probably due to the development of numerical models of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) in recent decades.
Abstract: Wind tunnels have been widely employed in aerodynamic research. To characterize the high impact research, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on highly cited articles related to wind tunnel based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) database from 1900 to 2014. Articles with at least 100 citations from the Web of Science Core Collection were selected and analyzed in terms of publication years, authors, institutions, countries/territories, journals, Web of Science categories, and citation life cycles. The results show that a total of 77 highly cited articles in 37 journals were published between 1959 and 2008. Journal of Fluid Mechanics published the most of highly cited articles. The USA was the most productive country and most frequent partner of internationally collaboration. The prolific institutions were mainly located in the USA and UK. The authors who were both first author and corresponding author published 88% of the articles. The Y index was also deployed to evaluate the publication characteristics of authors. Moreover, the articles with high citations in both history and the latest year with their citation life cycles were examined to provide insights for high impact research. The highly cited articles were almost earliest wind tunnel experimental data and reports on their own research specialty, and thus attracted high citations. It was revealed that classic works of wind tunnel research was frequently occurred in 1990s but much less in 2000s, probably due to the development of numerical models of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) in recent decades.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bibliometric analysis of relevant publications is presented based on the data collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded Web of Science, and the focus is on highly cited articles and authors.
Abstract: As an emerging research direction in the field of systems and control, distributed control or decentralized control has attracted great interests of researchers in the past decade. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis of the relevant publications is presented based on the data collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded Web of Science. In particular, we make a discussion on the trend of total publications, journal distribution, top research organizations (i.e. universities and institutes), and publication performance of nations, and the focus is on highly cited articles and authors, subject categories, and the future trend of hot topics. Some key bibliometric indexes such as single country articles, first author articles, and internationally collaborative articles are employed to give us a detailed picture about the intrinsic relationship and the state of the art of distributed control publications. Finally, the statistical analysis indicates that multi-agent systems are extremely popular in rece...

TL;DR: The results show that scientific articles associated with wind tunnel increased dramatically, with Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics as the most productive journal and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) was found to be a hot issue, which needs experimental validation by wind tunnels.
Abstract: Development and trend of global wind tunnel research from 1991 to 2014 were evaluated by bibliometric analysis. Based on the statistical data from Science Citation Index Expanded from Web of Science, publication performance of wind tunnel research was analyzed from various aspects, including publication output, category distributions, journals, countries, institutions, leading articles, and words analysis. The results show that scientific articles associated with wind tunnel increased dramatically, with Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics as the most productive journal. The USA has been leading in publication output since 1991, while China has become a new-rising force of wind tunnel research. NASA was the dominant institution in wind tunnel field which published most single institution articles and nationally and internationally collaborative articles. The citation lifecycles of the leading articles exhibited different patterns of their trends, but all reached a plateau in certain years. Based on synthesized analysis of title words, abstract words, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) was found to be a hot issue, which needs experimental validation by wind tunnels. Wind loads and wind turbine also caused increasing attentions while lepidoptera and sex pheromone were less studied. In the wind tunnel articles, numerical simulation of CFD was increasingly mentioned while field measurement showed minor change, suggesting the rapid developments of CFD.

TL;DR: The literature analysis reveals a dynamically evolving landscape and an increasing volume of research investigations that are focused on the study of natural products in the context of cancer.
Abstract: Although numerous bibliometric studies have examined various aspects of cancer research, the landscape of scientific studies focusing on natural products in cancer research has not been characterized. Using the Web of Science Core Collection online database, we identify and analyze scientific articles on natural products in cancer-related research. English is the language of publication for 99% of articles. In general, annual citation count of an article increases quickly after publication, reaches a plateau in the second year, stays in this plateau for 10 yr, and then begins to fall. The five most contributing journal categories are medicinal chemistry, contributing the most at 1890 articles (24% of 8012 articles); oncology (20%, with 1572 articles); pharmacology and pharmacy (19%, with 1557); biochemistry and molecular biology (15%, with 1225); and plant sciences (11%, with 883 articles). The United States and Spain yield a larger number of articles with high average citations, and China has been increasing since 2009. Apoptosis and cytotoxicity are the two most-frequently used keywords. Effects of natural products on autophagy with a relevance to cancer are mentioned in 69 publications. Our literature analysis reveals a dynamically evolving landscape and an increasing volume of research investigations that are focused on the study of natural products in the context of cancer. Curcumin, flavonoids, and resveratrol are the most-frequently mentioned natural products. Cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon are the most-frequently mentioned cancers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the trends, characteristics and citation impact of collaboration as well as collaboration networks for the macrolevel of country, the mesolevel of institution and the microlevel of author, using highly cited articles in environmental engineering (EE) category of the Science Citation Index Expanded.
Abstract: Collaboration has strongly intensified recently and its characteristics are attractive and multi-dimensional. This study explored the trends, characteristics and citation impact of collaboration as well as collaboration networks for the macrolevel of country, the mesolevel of institution and the microlevel of author, using highly cited articles in environmental engineering (EE) category of the Science Citation Index Expanded. A data visualization and manipulation software, Gephi 0.9.1 was used to visualize the relationships of collaboration among authors, institutions and countries. Although collaboration in general is known to be beneficial in many research areas, collaboration is not beneficial for highly cited research in the EE field. Single author, single country and single institution articles were more visible than articles involving international collaboration, inter-institutional collaboration and individual collaboration. There were certain group collaborations, which played an important role in publishing highly cited articles in the EE field.

TL;DR: Before reef resilience runs out, researchers must move beyond lamenting corals’ lost pristine state and develop pragmatic solutions, and new recruits should come from a greater variety of sectors and a wider set of disciplines than today’s conservationists.
Abstract: Coral reefs are again in the spotlight, having suffered mass mortality over the past two years from global bleaching events. Before reef resilience runs out, researchers must move beyond lamenting corals’ lost pristine state and develop pragmatic solutions. In our view, these are likely to stem from a more diverse set of stakeholders than have participated so far. We must ensure that reefs can continue to provide wellbeing for millions of people in the future, despite widespread alterations in their biological state. Degraded reefs still have the potential to provide fisheries benefits, cultural value and other sources of revenue (such as tourism), although all of these are likely to be reduced. With 2018 designated the International Year of the Reef, fresh perspectives and approaches are needed (S. A. Hewlett et al. Harvard Bus. Rev. 91, 30; 2013). New recruits should come from a greater variety of sectors (such as development, health and governance) and from a wider set of disciplines (such as the social sciences — including psychology, economics, political science and geography) than today’s conservationists. Young scientists and researchers from the global south will be particularly important contributors.

TL;DR: The volume of occupational therapy peer-reviewed literature has grown over the last two decades and Australian authors have and continue to make significant contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge nationally and internationally.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Bibliometrics refers to the collection and measurement of publishing and citation data configurations with the goal of quantifying the influence of scholarly activities. Advantages of bibliometrics include the generation of quantitative indicators of impact, productivity, quality and collaboration. Those parties who benefit from the results of bibliometric analysis include researchers, educators, journal publishers, employers and research funding bodies. METHODS A bibliometric analysis was completed of peer-reviewed literature from 1991 to 2015, written by Australian occupational therapists (who were able to be identified as such), and indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-Expanded) or the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases. "Occupational therapy" and "occupational therapist(s)" were used as keywords to search journal articles' publication title, abstract, author details, keywords and KeyWord Plus. RESULTS Between 1991 and 2015, 752 peer-reviewed journal articles were published by Australian occupational therapy authors. On average, those articles had 3.7 authors, 35 references, and were nine pages in length. The top four journals in which Australian occupational therapists published were Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, British Journal of Occupational Therapy, American Journal of Occupational Therapy, and Physical and Occupational Therapy in Paediatrics. The four Australian institutions that generated the largest number of occupational therapy articles were the University of Queensland, University of Sydney, La Trobe University, and Monash University. The top four countries with whom Australian authors collaborated in manuscript writing were the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Sweden. CONCLUSION The volume of occupational therapy peer-reviewed literature has grown over the last two decades. Australian authors have and continue to make significant contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge nationally and internationally.

TL;DR: A LDL/R-reprogrammed transcriptome-lipidome network is discovered, by which impulses platinum insensitivity and disease outcome are discovered, and the drug specific lipidome for liposome manufacture might be an efficienct pharmaceutics strategy for chemoagents.
Abstract: Platinum-based therapy remains the cornerstone for cancer patient management; however, its efficacy varies. Theis study demonstrated the differential expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) determines cisplatin sensitivity. It’s sensitive in serous EOCs (low LDLR), where insensitive in endometrioid and clear cell EOCs (high LDLR). Meanwhile, knocked-down or overexpressed LDLR in EOC could reversed the chemosensitivity pattern both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic dissection with transcriptome vs. lipidome trans-omics analyses elucidated the LDLR→LPC (Lyso-PhosphotidylCholine)→FAM83B (phospholipase-related)→FGFRs (cisplatin sensitivity and phospholipase-related) regulatory axis in cisplatin insensitivity. Implementing LPC-liposome encapsulated cisplatin could facilitate DNA-adduct formation via lipid droplets (LDs) delivery. Furthermore, Bioinformatics analyses found that the LDL/R→LD homeostasis alteration is critical for therapeutic prognosis. Lastly, using LPC-liposome-cisplatin improved cisplatin sensitivities in gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. In conclusion, this report discovered a LDL/R-reprogrammed transcriptome-lipidome network, by which impulses platinum insensitivity and disease outcome. The drug specific lipidome for liposome manufacture might be an efficienct pharmaceutics strategy for chemoagents. Significance LDLR reprograms cellular lipidome and transcriptome profiles to determines chemotherapy therapeutic efficacy. The LDLR-reduced LPC abundance disturbs phospholipids homeostasis of Lands cycle in LD, by which attenuates intracellular platinum transportation for DNA-adduct formation. Targeting LDLR-LD-lipidome with LPC-liposome-platinum could boost therapeutic efficacy for insensitivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a bibliometric analysis of all plant cell publications during the period from 1992 to 2016 by using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database was conducted.
Abstract: The objective of this writing was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of all plant cell publications during the period from 1992 to 2016 by using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database. Basic analysis includes document types, languages, journals, Web of Science categories, distribution by countries and institutes. Indicators such as total, independent, collaborative, first author, corresponding author, and single author publications were applied to compare publication performances by specific countries and institutions of the top ranking. The G7 dominated most of the high impact publications in plant cell research. The high-ranked contributing institutions were non-universities from France, China, Russia, Spain, and USA. University of Tokyo in Japan was the most productive university single out on the top. Plant cell articles were published mainly in Web of Science of plant sciences. Plant Physiology , Plant Journal , and Plant Cell were the top three productive journals on this subject. In addition, top cited and the high impact articles in recent years were also compared. Distributions of words in title, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus in different periods were used for searching research focuses.
