Over the last few years, CiteScore has emerged as a popular metric to measure the performance of Journals. In this paper, we analyze CiteScores of the top 400 Scopus-indexed journals of 2021 for years from 2011 to 2021. Some interesting observations emerged from the analysis. The average CiteScore of the top 400 journals doubled from 16.48 in 2011 to 31.83 in 2021. At the same time, the standard deviation has almost trebled from 13.53 in 2011 to 38.18 in 2021. The CiteScores also show sizable increases for skewness and kurtosis, implying major variations in the CiteScores of the journals for a year. Importantly, the previous year’s CiteScores strongly predict the next year’s scores. This has been observed consistently for the last ten years. The average Pearson correlation coefficient between the preceding and succeeding years’ CiteScores for the ten years is 0.98. We also show that it is easily possible for even people with just basic knowledge of computers to forecast the CiteScore. Researchers can predict CiteScores based on the past year’s CiteScores and decide better about publishing their current research in a journal with an idea about its likely CiteScore. Such a forecast can be useful to publishers, editorial staff, indexing services, university authorities, and funding agencies.

Menstrual health has reaped much attention with a swift increase in the related literature. This study intended to map the knowledge landscape of menstrual health research in India using a scientometric and information visualization approach. The scientometric analysis of Scopus data on parameters like publication output, publication share, growth rate, prolific authors, authorship pattern, scientific fields, citation analysis, international collaboration, etc., has been conducted. 52257 publications were produced globally during the study period, with 2668 papers from India. The majority of these research output is collaborative and multi-authored. America is the most productive country and India's top collaborative associate in menstrual studies. All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Clinical and Diagnostic Research journal is the most efficient institute and journal. Moreover, menstrual health, menstrual cycle and menstrual hygiene, menstrual syndrome, and studies on the function of hormones in menstruation were diagnosed as the mainstream topics in the fields of menstrual health. The study's findings will offer proof of the current status and trends in menstrual health. They will assist researchers and policymakers in understanding the panorama of menstrual health and expecting the dynamic research guidelines.

We carried out a bibliometric analysis of the research production in the field of evolutionary computation in Latin America (LA) for the period 1980-2020. The bibliometric method is applied with a quantitative review of the published literature. The search for publications was carried out in the Web of Science database through the terms that are most commonly used to identify this field of study. The data analysis the data analysis used Microsoft Office tools (excel and Access) to organize our data were used to organize our data: authors, institutions, journals, countries and thematic categories. It was completed with VOS Viewer 1.8.16 to generate a co-authorship network map of authors, and the development of base maps for collaboration by countries. We have identified the first Latin American publications in the journals Archivos de Biologia y Medicina Experimentales and Desarrollo Economico-Revista de Ciencias Sociales; this research field reached a consolidation in the 2000s with the opening of the first graduate programs in this geographical region; there is an extraordinary number of LA scholars active in this research field and an increasing number of academic institutions mainly from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia; while the Asian and European production in this research field is about 30%, the respective LA contribution is just 4.9%. The present study attempts to document the progress of evolutionary computation in Latin America, an issue that has gained relevance for society, especially in recent years. No studies have been generated that cover the Latin American region, and therefore it is hoped that these findings will be useful for the development of scientific and public policies and also for other future work.

The article aimed to develop a systematic review of the scientific literature about indicators for the evaluation of science, technology and innovation activities. For this, the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were used. Through the application of the SysteRe-HSS methodology, 96 publications were selected that formed the basis for a descriptive model of the science, technology and innovation indicators. The results of the research showed that there is a predominance of indicators related to the evaluation of innovation activities, human resources allocated to the activity of science, technology and innovation, financial resources and investments in research plus development, and indicators related to bibliometrics and scientometrics. However, challenges are faced related to measuring indicators of social innovation, linking insights from existing innovation measurement approaches with the essential features of social innovation, measuring the impact of social appropriation practices of science and technology, and the next generation metrics, responsible metrics and evaluation for open science, as well as alternative indicators for the evaluation of the social impact of research in web 2.0.

As part of the research process, relevant documents are identified to keep up with the latest advancements in the domain. Document recommendation systems are used by researchers as a means of accomplishing this goal. Textual content, collaborative filtering, and citation information-based approaches are among the proposed approaches for the recommendation systems. Content-based techniques take advantage of the entire text of papers and produce more promising results, but comparing input document text data to every document in the dataset is not practical for the content-based recommender system. This study looks into the possibility of using bibliographic data to reduce the number of comparisons. The proposed system is based on the assumption that two scientific papers are semantically connected if they are co-cited more frequently than by chance. The likelihood of co-citation, also known as semantic relatedness, can be used to quantify this connection. This work presents a new way to distribute the weight among connected scholarly documents based on a semantic relatedness score. Our proposed solution eliminates a substantial amount of needless text comparisons for the system by gathering scholarly document pairs with high likelihood values and using them as a search area for the content-based recommender system. By spreading the co-citation relationship out to certain distances, the proposed approach can find relevant documents that are not found by traditional co-citation searches. The results reveal that the system is capable of reducing computations by a significant margin and of detecting false positive situations in content comparison using Doc2vec.

Biogas, a by-product of effluent treatment, is increasingly no longer seen as a passive, taking on the role of an asset. This work carried out a bibliometric study of the world production of biogas from domestic wastewater, focusing on the evolution of knowledge over the decades. For this purpose, a search for scientific articles was carried out in the Scopus database and, from the documents obtained, a review of literature was developed to access information and reveal quantification patterns. The analysis of the graphs and networks generated proved efficient in the exploratory study of the scientific and technological evolution of biogas from domestic sewage, making it possible to observe a highlight for the recovery of dissolved methane, as well as for the gains in reducing emissions of GHG from biogas reuse, in addition to the focus on nutrient and energy recovery, which underscores the importance of anaerobic processes for obtaining energy and nutrient conservation, as well as their potential contribution to achieving the goals related to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that is resistant to at least one of the standard first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. DR-TB can occur when patients do not complete their full course of TB medication, leading to the development of drug resistance. Improved diagnostics and more effective treatments are urgently needed to address this global health challenge, So This study uses bibliometric and text mining techniques to conduct a topical analysis of scientific publications on drug-resistant tuberculosis. WOS Core Collection citation database was used to extract data from the beginning until April 25, 2022. Afterward, the data was analyzed using Python and Microsoft Excel. The results revealed that scientific publications on drug-resistant tuberculosis have increased in recent years, with the majority of the publications consisting of articles and reviews. The USA, India, and South Africa, on the other hand, account for the majority of the publications. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that publications related to drug-resistant tuberculosis had the highest publication rate in the following subjects: Drug Resistance, Care, Treatment, Drug Activity, Patient, and Drug Dose Therapy Regimen. The findings of the present study showed that the interest in drug-resistant tuberculosis is increasing and controlling its prevalence is becoming one of the key health preferences in the world.

The ubiquitous applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various domains of human life have resulted in a phenomenal increase in AI research. The research output in AI has grown rapidly during the last decade. While some scientometric studies have noted this growth in publications, there are virtually no studies that could characterize the growth in publications in terms of the increase in domains and journals in which AI research is being carried out and published. This article makes an attempt to fill this research gap by using the Leimkuhler model of Bradford’s law of productivity to produce quantitative estimates of AI research publishing. Publications indexed in Web of Science for the period 2011 to 2020 are used for analysis. The analysis explains the variation in the corpus of AI research using productivity distribution and its characteristics. The quantitative findings support the idea that AI research has not only increased in volume but also in terms of applications to a wider list of areas.
人工智能(AI)在人类生活各个领域的普遍应用导致了人工智能研究的惊人增长。人工智能的研究成果在过去十年中迅速增长。虽然一些科学计量学研究已经注意到出版物的增长,但实际上没有研究可以从开展和发表人工智能研究的领域和期刊的增长方面描述出版物的增长。本文试图利用Bradford生产率定律的Leimkuhler模型对人工智能研究发表进行定量估计,以填补这一研究空白。2011年至2020年期间在Web of Science索引的出版物用于分析。分析利用生产力分布及其特征解释了人工智能研究语料库的变化。定量研究结果支持了这样一种观点,即人工智能研究不仅在数量上有所增加,而且在更广泛的领域得到了应用。
