STUDY DESIGN Descriptive bibliometric analysis. BACKGROUND Content and bibliometric studies are useful for describing the publication patterns of a given profession, such as physical therapy, within the medical and allied health fields. However, few studies have conducted these analyses on specialty physical therapy journals. OBJECTIVES To conduct a content and bibliometric assessment of pu...

Bioprinting as a tissue engineering tool is one of the most promising technologies for overcoming organ shortage. However, the spread of populist articles among on this technology could potentially lead public opinion to idealize its readiness. This bibliometric study aimed to trace the evolution of bioprinting literature over the past decade (i.e., 2000 to 2015) using the SCI-expanded database...

In this paper, a bibliometric study on the interconnections between the fuzzy logic theory field and the other softcomputing techniques is presented. Bibliometric maps showing the associations between the main concepts between these research fields are provided for the periods 1990–1999, 2000–2003, and 2004–2007. The maps provide insight into the structure of these fields. They visualize the di...

Unique identifiers (UID) are seen as an effective tool to create links between identical publications in databases or identify duplicates in a database. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how well UIDs work for citation linking. We have two objectives: Explore the coverage, precision, and characteristics of publications matched versus not matched with UIDs as the match key.Illus...

In recent years there is a small but increasing number of articles presenting and/or analyzing the scientific production from discrete geographical regions on a certain scientific topic. These articles applied the so-called bibliometric methods in order to evaluate the contribution of different countries in a scientific research field. In the present work, the research output of all countries i...

Bibliometric maps are scaled representations of clusters of papers and provide an overview of a scientific field as provided by those papers and the references between them. We have enhanced our interactive bibliometric explorer (iBEX) to visualise the distribution of phrases over such bibliometric maps. Assuming that generic (non-content-bearing) phrases occur in most of the papers in the map,...

The paper introduces simple bibliometric-enhanced search facilities which are derived from the famous stratagems by Bates. Moves, tactics and stratagems are revisited from a Digital Library perspective. The potential of extended versions of ”journal run” or ”citation search” for interactive information retrieval is outlined. The authors elaborate on the future implementation and evaluation of n...

BACKGROUND Bibliometric studies are increasingly being used for research assessments. Bibliometric indicators involve the application of statistical methods to scientific publications to obtain the bibliographics for each journal. The main objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric evaluation of Human & Experimental Toxicology retrieved from the Scopus database. METHODS This study ...
