Japanese lung cancer research trends and performance in Science Citation Index.
TLDR
Keyword analysis indicated that there has been a strategy to connect molecular biology with clinical practice in Japan and highlights the topics in lung cancer research that are becoming popular in Japan.Abstract:
Objective This study was undertaken to explore a bibliometric approach to quantitatively assess current research trends in lung cancer in Japan, using the related literature in the Science Citation Index (SCI) database from 1991 to 2008. Materials and Methods Articles were analyzed by the scientific output and research performances of individuals, institutes, and collaborative countries with Japan. Distribution of words in the article title, author keywords, and KeyWords Plus in different periods was applied to evaluate research trends by the frequency of keywords used. Results Keyword analysis indicated that there has been a strategy to connect molecular biology with clinical practice. Researchers in Japan have published high impact articles related to non-small cell and small cell lung cancer. Conclusion Finally, this study highlights the topics in lung cancer research that are becoming popular in Japan.read more

Research trend of metal---organic frameworks: a bibliometric analysis
Chong-Chen Wang,Yuh-Shan Ho +1 more
TL;DR: A bibliometric analysis based on the related articles in the Science Citation Index Expanded database was conducted to gain insight into global trends and hot issues of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), finding that adsorption took the lead, followed by catalysis, as a result of their ultrahigh porosity and even their catalytic property.
