International collaboration is being heralded as the hallmark of contemporary scientific production. Yet little quantitative evidence has portrayed the landscape and trends of such collaboration. To this end, 14,000,000 documents indexed in Thomson Reuter's Web of Science (WoS) are studied to provide a state-of-the-art description of scientific collaborations across the world. Results indicate ...

BACKGROUND Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis disease with oral and genital aphthous ulceration, uveitis, skin manifestations, arthritis and neurological involvement. Many investigators have published articles on BD in the last two decades since introduction of diagnosis criteria by the International Study Group for Behçet's Disease in 1990. However, there is no scientometric analys...

Cardiac optical mapping has proven to be a powerful technology for studying cardiovascular function and disease. The development and scientific impact of this methodology are well-documented. Because of its relevance in cardiac research, this imaging technology advances at a rapid pace. Here, we review technological and scientific developments during the past several years and look toward the f...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the major cause of blindness among the working-age population globally. No systematic research has been previously performed to analyze the research published on DR, despite the need for it. This study aimed to analyze the scientific production on DR to draw overall roadmap of future research strategic planning in this field. A bibliometric method was used to obtain...

This is a report on a panel at the Fifth International Workshop on Database Programming Languages, September 6–8, 1995, Gubbio, Umbria, Italy. The panel was well attended and there was a fair amount of interaction with an audience of about 50 people. The panelists spoke for about 10 minutes each. Then, there was a 30 minute period involving questions and discussion with the audience. The order ...

Main goal of a scientific community is the collaborative production of new knowledge through research and scholarship. An integrative research approach, fostered by confrontation and collaboration among researchers, is widely recognized as a key factor to improve the quality of production of a scientific community. Competence mapping is a valid approach to highlight expertise, encourage re-use ...
