Abstract: In contrast with other countries of the Central America biodiversity “hotspot”, El Salvador has received considerable attention from the scientometrics point of view. According to previous studies, the country is unusual in its strong concentration of research funds in the social sciences, and in the unexpectedly low productivity and visibility of its scientific institutions. We only found 788 publications with El Salvador authors in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) until 2015, mostly in English and about health, environment and agriculture. Articles have more authors than previously found for the rest of Central America. The fact that two historically important articles were written exclusively by Salvadoran scientists indicates the potential for high level science that the country has had at least since 1940. Scientific productivity and international collaboration are improving, but the whole productivity and impact of scientific institutions of El Salvador remain unknown because the country publishes 130 scientific journals that are not included in the SCI-EXPANDED. There is a clear need for a regional database covering Central American science and its citation.

TL;DR: A literature review concerning the precision of over 80 publications which originally cited Ho's pseudo-second-order kinetic expression for solute sorption on various sorbents is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a bibliometric approach was used to identify its document types, impact factor, publication outputs, most cited articles and large contributing countries/territories and institutions.

TL;DR: This study provides an evidence from JMS to discuss the feasibility and limitations of impact factor and revealed the impact history of most cited articles.

TL;DR: “China” is a key issue in research in both natural science and social science field, which indicates the rapid development of environmental law research in China as well as the growing concerns of China’s environmental law issues.
