基于文献计量分析的蒿属植物研究进展

A bibliometric appraisal of research on Artemisia from 1986-2016

为深入了解蒿属植物相关研究的全球状况和前沿动态,客观反映相关研究国家、机构和个人在该研究方面的科学能力和影响力,采用Web of Science核心合集数据库中1986-2016年间收录的有关蒿属植物研究的相关文献,基于信息计量学分析方法进行了统计分析。结果表明,关于蒿属植物全球发文量总体呈上升趋势,中国的发文量居榜首,其次为美国,但在国际合作水平来看,美国的合作贡献最大,与中国有着密切合作关系的是英国。中国科学院占据总发文量、一作总数和一作被引次数的首位,香港大学在总被引用次数和一作被引次数方面排名最高。该研究方面发文的主要期刊有Planta Medica,Phytochemistry,Journal of Natural Products等,平均被引次数最高的是顶级期刊Nature。从学科分布来看,植物科学、化学和药理学/配药学位居相关研究的前三;从类别来看,理学占排名前10学科的50%;从科学层次来看,基础和技术科学占比较大,工程科学的相关发文量有待提高。香港大学的Sy在黄蒿提取物方面的系列研究具有较高的影响力,西班牙瓦伦西亚大学Marco和北京大学Wen两位学者的相关研究被引频次较高。在研究前沿趋势方面,蒿属植物的化学成分及其医药用途方面是研究热点。

In order to identify the location of centres of excellence and better understand the global status of research on Artemisia and to objectively assess scientific capability and influence of countries,institutions and individuals undertaking research on Artemisia,a bibliometric analysis was conducted. Our study surveyed literature published from 1986 to2016 and included in the core collection of the Web of ScienceTMdatabase. The number of publications on Artemisia shows a rising trend. In terms of article number,China ranks first,followed by the United States,but from the viewpoint of international cooperation the United States has made the greatest contribution,and Britain also cooperates closely with China. Among research institutions worldwide,the Chinese Academy of Sciences heads the list for article number,firstauthor papers,and citations of first-author papers. The University of Hong Kong is the institution with the highest total citation count and number of citations of first-author papers. Articles on Artemisia are mostly published in the journals Planta Medica,Phytochemistry,and Journal of Natural Products,but the highest average number of citations per paper appears in the journal Nature. Plant science,chemistry and pharmacology pharmacy are the top 3 disciplines within which the research has been conducted. Approximately 50% of identified articles were categorized as scientific studies,with fundamental science and technological science accounting for a larger amount,and engineering science a smaller share. Among individuals,Prof. L. K. Sy of Hong Kong University is a leading author of studies on the extraction of Artemisia annua; J. A. Marco Valencia University in Spain,and J. Wen of Peking University have the highest citation frequency. The chemical composition and medicinal application are two commonly studied topics in research on Artemisia.
