A historical review and bibliometric analysis of research on fracture nonunion in the last three decades

BackgroundNonunion continues to be the most frequent and challenging complication to treat following fracture fixation. Herein, we carried out a bibliometric analysis aiming to identify the key researchers, centres and research trends developed during the past 30 years in this important clinical condition.MethodsThe Science Citation Index Expanded database and the Web of Science Core Collection were interrogated for manuscripts published between 1990 and 2019 in the topic domain, utilising title, abstract, author keywords and KeyWords Plus. Overall, such citation indicators were used as TCyear, Cyear and CPPyear to help analyse the identified manuscripts.ResultsOver the prespecified period, there was a steady increase in the number of articles published in fracture nonunion. In total, 12 languages were the primary languages in the documents, with English being the most prevalent. The CPP sharply increased to reach a plateau in three full years and up to a peak in ten full years. A total of 8976 nonunion-related articles in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) were published in 790 journals. The 8976 articles were published by 26,079 authors among 101 different countries. There is a slightly fluctuating steady increase of articles from 116 in 1991 to 201 in 2003, and thereafter, the number of articles sharply increased to reach a plateau in 2015. Seven possible main research foci in nonunion-related research were identified including: epidemiology, classification, aetiology, diagnosis/prediction, treatment modalities, functional outcomes and health economics.ConclusionsThis bibliometric analysis revealed information on citation number, publication outputs, categories, journals, institutions, countries, research highlights and tendencies. The current research activity on fracture nonunion identified key opinion leaders and leading research institutions focusing on this important clinical condition. It is hoped that the informed included will aid to guide research work in the foreseeable future.

Ethics and privacy of artificial intelligence: Understandings from bibliometrics

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its broad applications are disruptively transforming the daily lives of human beings and a discussion of the ethical and privacy issues surrounding AI is a topic of growing interest, not only among academics but also the general public This review identifies the key entities (i.e., leading research institutions and their affiliated countries/regions, core research journals, and communities) that contribute to the research on the ethical and privacy issues in relation to AI and their intersections using co-occurrence analysis. Topic analyses profile the topical landscape of AI ethics using a topical hierarchical tree and the changing interest of society in AI ethics over time through scientific evolutionary pathways. We also paired 15 selected AI techniques with 17 major ethical issues and identify emerging ethical issues from a core set of the most recent articles published in Nature, Science, and Proceedings of the National Science Academy of the United States. These insights bridging the knowledge base of AI techniques and ethical issues in the literature, are of interest to the AI community and audiences in science policy, technology management, and public administration.

Industrial science of the tank industry during the Great Patriotic War: contribution to solving problems of engineering and technical optimization of armored production in 1941–1945. Part 2

The work is devoted to the contribution of leading research institutes of the People’s Commissariat of Tank Industry to improve the metallurgical, welding and machining industries in the tank industry of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. The evacuation of main capacities of the USSR’s tank industry at the east demanded to transfer not only workers and industrial equipment to the base of civil engineering plants, but also to ensure the restoration of key technological processes in a new place. It was required in emergency conditions of war, at a new place, in conditions of personnel, equipment and energy shortage, industrial cooperation collapse, to create workable units, for mass production of tanks. Thanks to the concentration of industry management in the hands of the People’s Commissariat for Tank Industry, the country’s establishment was able to maintain the scientific and technical potential of industrial research institutes that had been engaged in core work in armor metallurgy, electric welding, mechanical processing and mechanical engineering technology before the war. They managed to integrate their personnel and technical potential into the production stuff of tank-building giants, created in the east after the evacuation. It made possible to create under extremely war conditions, a workable territorial production complexes for the production of medium and heavy tanks, which nevertheless got under the conditions of serious personnel and technological limitations.

Industrial Blockchain: A state-of-the-art Survey

As an underlying and backbone technology of Bitcoin, Blockchain attracted extensive attention worldwide in recent years due to its unique characteristics of decentralization, openness, immutability, anonymity, etc., which enables it to build a trust basis through recording the point-to-point decentralized transactions in an immutable way via the attached timestamp, thereby improving system efficiency and reducing the cost without relying on the central agent. As it is considered to be a potentially revolutionary technology, Blockchain has been introduced into various industrial fields including finance, supply chain, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, and smart city. In this paper, we conduct a state-of-the-art survey of industrial Blockchain in terms of published articles between 2017 and 2020, and worldwide Blockchain movement including North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region so far. We conduct a statistic analysis of the collected articles in terms of three dimensions, which are year of publication, leading research institutes and researchers, and article classification to present a multi-dimensional trend or conclusion. Besides, we analyse articles that are cited over a certain number of times in detail to investigate the hot research directions. Finally, the challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives are discussed to summarize the main obstacles of industrial Blockchain and identify the open research questions in the near future.

Scientific and organizational activity of the staff of the History Institute of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences (1929–1941)

The Institute of Нistory of the National Academy of Sciences ofBelarusis the leading research institution of historical profile in the Republic. The history of the Institute testifies to the formation and development of Belarusian historiography. The article reveals the scientific and organizational activities of the staff of the Institute of Нistory of theAcademyofSciencesof the BSSR in the pre­war period. The influence of the socio­political situation on the change in the organizational structure and personnel of the Institute is shown: historians of the “old school” gave way to representatives of the new Marxist paradigm. The conclusion is made about the establishment of methodological monopolism in Soviet historical science. The author analyzed the process of formation and change of the main directions of historical research in the development of the concept of the history ofBelarusin 1929–1941. It is noted that in scientific research, priority was given to the problems of the history of the revolutionary movement, class struggle, and Soviet construction.

Climate change and winter outdoor activities in Austria

Winter tourism is an often-mentioned example of industries with high sensitivity to climatic changes. Existing reviews are either focusing on one activity and/or type of tourism or represent a global overview. What is missing are regional or country-specific assessments of both climate change impacts on winter tourism and this sector's contribution to climate change shedding light on potential vulnerability and adaptation as well as mitigation options of this economic sector. This paper contributes to fill this gap by investigating Austrian winter tourism's vulnerability, adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. The paper at hand is part of a special report on tourism, which has been developed by leading research institutions in Austria supported by selected experts and stakeholders. Research and communication needs are addressed including the need for climate risk assessments for businesses, research on tipping points in tourism demand as well as opportunities for non snow related tourism products and needs of non-skiers. As evidence on the sector's contribution to CO2 in Austria is scarce, better knowledge of the status quo and monitoring is required.

Where there is no research: a bibliometric analysis of health research output from the resource-constrained Bihar state of India

Background Significant gap exists in health research output globally, both in terms of geographic distribution and priorities. In India, wide inter-state disparity in health research output is reported and eight large states with a combined population of nearly half of India contribute to less than one-tenth of total research output. Bihar is one of the most resource-constrained states in this group with multiple health systems challenges. The objectives of this study were to understand the trend, distribution, focus, actors, and funding sources of health research on Bihar in order to propose policy recommendations. Methods A bibliometric analysis was carried out for all PubMed indexed original research papers on health, which is either focused on Bihar or authored by an author from an organization in Bihar. Trend, author affiliation, location, theme, and funding source was analysed by review of either abstract or if required by review of the full text. Results A total of 982 research papers were extracted, out of which 40% was basic or clinical research and nearly 60% was public health research. There was an extraordinary surge in research output during the last decade. Clinical subjects (25 %) followed by leishmaniasis (23%) were the most common theme. Medical institutions (45%) were the biggest contributor to health research. More than 60% of papers were authored by a lead author from outside Bihar and the majority do not have a local co-author. 11 leading organizations published more than 35% of total research papers. ‘Leishmaniasis’ contributed to more than 35% of the research output by the author based in Bihar and more than 90% research output of the leading research institution in Bihar. The majority of the funded research in the last decade was supported by international agencies. Conclusions The health research output from Bihar is very limited. The recent surge in research output is driven by global actors or from actors located in bigger cities and more developed states within India. To strengthen the health research systems, a specific health research policy should be formulated to steward and improve the health research ouput from Bihar.

The National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan is undertaking a broad range of environmental research activities for realization of sustainable future in an interdisciplinary and comprehensive manner in conjunction with leading research institutes and universities in Asia.To disseminate the outcomes of the research activities based on the research collaboration and to bridge the gaps between science and policy, NIES initiated the Forum on Sustainable Future in Asia in collaboration with The University of Tokyo and the Asian Institute of Technology in 2016. In January 2020, 5th International Forum for Sustainable Future in Asia / 5th NIES International Forum was organized in Yangon, Myanmar, co-organized by Institute for Future Initiatives at The University of Tokyo (IFI-UTokyo); the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT RRC.AP), Bangkok, Thailand; and University of Medicine 1, Yangon (UM1), Myanmar.In order to foster a healthy and sustainable environment in Asia, the conversation and collaboration between academia, scientists, policy makers and other various stakeholders in the region is especially necessary. The 5th International Forum introduced recent research findings on SDGs, such as Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, Goal 13: Climate Action, Goal 14: Life below Water and Goal 15: Life on Land. Through the forum, new ways of building sustainable societies in Asia were actively discussed among stakeholders; catalyze policy-research networking to formulate relevant science-based policies; and find feasible paths toward sustainable societies in Asia by converting aspirations into actions at the local, national, and regional levels.The forum also aims to create the foundation for a consortium of relevant institutions and governments in the region through periodic gatherings of researchers and policymakers, that will facilitate the exchange of knowledge gained through research and catalyze dialogue at the policy-research interface in the spheres of environmental management and sustainable development in Asia.Website : http://www.nies.go.jp/i-forum/

Family policy and women's employment outcomes in 45 high‐income countries: A systematic qualitative review of 238 comparative and national studies

AbstractThe article reviews the available quantitative evidence on the relationship between explicit family policy and women's employment outcomes in 45 high‐income countries between 1980 and 2016. At the methodological level, we gathered 238 papers through a four‐stage systematic qualitative review. We included articles published in English in international journals or by leading research institutes. Despite the accrued importance of the field, comparative works and national case studies do not sufficiently engage one another for methodological and disciplinary reasons. Our contribution is to integrate the findings from both streams of the literature in two ways. First, we chart systematically the debate describing its evolution over four decades, the disciplines involved (demography, economics, politics, social policy, sociology, and interdisciplinary work), and the geographical and policy breadth of the empirical contributions. Second, we provide a rich guide for scholars in the field by exploring how national case studies fit (or not) the broad trends captured in comparative research and discussing key and controversial debates in the field. In conclusion, we point out also important gaps in the literature and propose new avenues for future research. An exhaustive set of tables provides information on each comparative and national case study and on the databases and variables employed in the literature.

Enhancing the efficiency of intellectual property management: a case study of leading research institute in Korea

Many organisations have recognised the importance of intellectual property rights (IPR) and have tried to increase it. However, this inevitably led to an increase in costs related to IPR. Thus, a reasonable balance between IPR growth and its administrative costs is called for. This paper aims to suggest the solution to this problem through ETRI's case analysis. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) is a leading research institute for information and communications technology in Korea. This paper first describes the vision and performance of ETRI's intellectual property management. Second, it describes the challenges facing ETRI's intellectual property management. Third, it presents its strategies and techniques to deal with these challenges. Fourth, the performance of the improved IP management efforts is analysed by using data envelopment analysis method. The result showed that ETRI was successful in that it could obtain higher profitability and more efficiency. Finally, some guidelines for efficient IP management are suggested based on the study.

Recent patterns and trends in sustainable concrete research in India: A five-year Scientometric review

Research shows that the energy consumption of a facility has a significant relationship with the materials used for its construction. Concrete is a widely used construction material in the building and infrastructure sectors in India due to its low-cost and easy availability. However, it makes significant contributions to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions due to high embodied energy. Therefore, research on the development, selection, and use of sustainable concrete constitutes an essential research area for the researchers in the fields of material science and the built environment. As a result, a large number of articles have been published on sustainable concrete in the last few years. This paper outlines the recent patterns and trends in the field of sustainable concrete research in the context of India. A total of 439 journal articles published in the last five years (2014–2019) were selected from the Scopus database. Scientometric mapping approach was used to examine the current research focus and advancements in this field. Four major clusters of sustainable concrete research are concrete properties, concrete mix, supplementary/alternative materials, and recycled concrete. Around 60 per cent of the published journal articles come from non-engineering disciplines such as management, environmental sciences and social science, which shows the emerging multidisciplinary nature of this field. The insights into the research clusters, researchers, leading research institutions, and national and international collaborative networks could provide new research opportunities to both novice and experienced researchers.

Рыбохозяйственная и академическая наука —новый этап сотрудничества

The history of the Russian fisheries research is briefly reviewed, starting from the moment when the Academy of Sciences was founded by Peter I in Saint Petersburg on January 28, 1724, to the present day. The year of founding of applied fisheries science was named 1881, when the Solovetsky biological station was created. The leading research institute of the industry —VNIRO —was established in 1933 in Moscow. VNIRO join the efforts of all applied institutes of the USSR, which have been created by that time in the main fishery basins. The interaction of fisheries and academic science is traced. The greatest flourishing of cooperation during the Soviet period was in the 1950s —1960s. A new stage of cooperation between scientists began from the moment of signing on September 6, 2018 by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation —Head of the Federal Agency for fisheries —I.V. Shestakov and the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences A.M. Sergeev the Agreement on cooperation, allowing to achieve a significant synergistic effect through coordinated annual research program of scientists from fishery research and academic science.

Consensus Meeting on International Standards for Oral Whole Cell Killed Cholera Vaccines, 17-18 May 2018, Seoul, Republic of Korea

Cholera causes an estimated 3 million cases of watery diarrhea and 100,000 deaths globally per year. Although the long-term solution for cholera control lies in universal access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, Oral Cholera Vaccines (OCVs) are the most cost-effective measure to contain and prevent the disease and are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as part of an integrated strategy to control cholera. Currently, three OCVs are WHO prequalified and two of these are part of the cholera vaccine stockpile. Other OCVs have been developed for national use or are under development. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are used by both manufacturers of OCVs and national regulatory agencies (NRAs) for: in process analysis, as a potency assay for drug substance and drug product batch release, and as an indicator of stability during the shelf life of OCVs. To ensure quality and consistency of this assay performed by different OCV manufacturers and NRAs, harmonization of assay reagents by the introduction of WHO International Standards (IS) for essential reagents is desirable. In May 2018, the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) with assistance from National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) and financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) organized a meeting with representatives from vaccine manufacturers, NRAs, leading research institutions and independent experts to discuss and share experiences on potency assays for batch release and select reagents of the LPS Inhibition ELISA as candidate WHO ISs.

Bibliographic measures of top-tier finance and information systems journals

Purpose Pay, tenure and promotion decisions are frequently based upon inferences regarding the value of faculty research. Meanwhile, departmental, college and university reputations are frequently based on perceptions regarding the quality of research being produced by its faculty. Making correct inferences requires accurate measurement of research quality, which is often based upon the journal through which results are shared. This research expands upon the research found elsewhere through its detailed investigation of leading journals in two business disciplines, including examination of four different citation-based measures and four journal characteristics which are exogenous to the quality of any individual piece of research. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This study assists in the development of an accurate perspective regarding research quality, by studying the popular Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor. A further expansion on the past literature is consideration of three newer journal quality metrics: SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) and percentage of articles cited. Top-tier journals in finance and information systems are compared to evaluate the consistency of these measures across disciplines. Differences in journal characteristics and their impact on citation-rate based measures of quality are also examined. The potential impact of discipline-based variation in acceptance rate, issue frequency, the time since journal inception and total reviewers are put forth as additional potential exogenous factors that may impact the perception of journal quality. t-Tests are employed for discipline comparisons, while correlation and multiple regression are used for journal characteristic analysis. Findings There is a significant difference in the JCR impact measures of high-quality finance journals vs high-quality information systems journals, which are correlated with a variety of journal-specific factors including the journal’s acceptance rate and frequency of issue. Information systems journals domination of finance journals persists whether one considers mean, median, minimum or maximum impact factors. SJR measures for finance journals are consistently higher than information systems journals, though the SJR value of any individual journal can be quite volatile. By comparison, the SNIP metric rates premier information systems journals higher. Over 12 percent more of the articles in leading information systems journals are cited during the initial three years. Research limitations/implications Logical extensions of this research include examining journals in other business disciplines. One could also evaluate quality measures reaction to variation in journal characteristics (i.e. changes in acceptance rates). Furthermore, one could include other measures of journal quality, including the recently released CiteScore metric. Such research will build on the present research and improve the accuracy of research quality assessment. Practical implications To the extent that citation-based research measures and journal-specific factors vary across disciplines as demonstrated by our investigation, discipline-specific traits should be considered adjusted for, when making inferences about the long-term value of recently published research. For instance, finance faculty publishing in journals with JCR readings of 2.0 are in journals that are 53 percent above the discipline’s average, while information systems faculty publishing in journals with JCR readings of 2.0 are in journals that are 18 percent below the discipline’s average. Furthermore, discipline-specific differences in journal characteristics, leading to differences in citation-based quality measures, should be considered when making inferences about the long-term value of recently published research in the process of making recommendations regarding salary adjustments, retention and promotion. Social implications Quantity and quality of research are two hallmarks of leading research institutions. Assessing research quality is very problematic because its definition has changed from being based on review process (i.e. blind refereed), to acceptance rates, to impact factors. Furthermore, the impact factor construct has been a lightning rod of controversy as researchers, administrators and journals themselves argue over which metric to employ. This research is attempting to assess how impact factors and journal characteristics may influence the impact factors, and how these interactions vary business discipline. The research is especially important and relevant to the authors which separately chair departments including finance and information systems faculty, and therefore are in roles requiring assessment of faculty research productivity including quality. Originality/value This study is a detailed analysis of bibliographic aspects of the top-tier journals in two quantitative business areas. In addition to the popular JCR, SJR and SNIP measures of performance, the analysis studies the seldom-examined percentage of the article cited metric. A deeper understanding of citation-based measures is obtained though the evaluation of changes in how journals have been rated on these metrics over time. The research shows that there are discipline-related systematic differences in both citation-based research measures and journal-specific factors and that these discipline-specific traits should be considered when making inferences about the long-term value of recently published research. Furthermore, discipline-specific difference in journal characteristics, leading to differences in citation-based quality measures, should be considered when making personnel and remuneration decisions.

Напрями наукового забезпечення аграрного виробництва Кіровоградської області (ХХ ст. – початок ХХІ ст.)

У представленій статті, на основі дотримання принципів історизму та об’єктивності, проаналізовано зміну напрямів наукового забезпечення сільськогосподарського виробництва Кіровоградської області, форм та методів популяризації наукових досягнень і шляхів їх освоєння виробництвом протягом останнього століття. Встановлено, що у ХХ ст. - на початку ХХІ ст. провідними науково-дослідними установами, що впливали на розвиток аграрного сектору в зоні північного Степу України були: Аджамська сільськогосподарська дослідна станція, Українська науково-дослідна станція олійних культур, Кіровоградська державна сільськогосподарська дослідна станція, Кіровоградське НВО «Еліта», Кіровоградський інститут агропромислового виробництва НААН, що в ході ряду реорганізацій стали основою сучасного Інституту сільського господарства Степу НААН. Аналіз методів поширення наукових досягнень у сільськогосподарське виробництво регіону від початку ХХ ст. до сьогодення, дозволив встановити, що основними з них були: публікація результатів досліджень у спеціалізованих виданнях; семінари, наради, на яких інформували про досягнення аграрної науки; огляд на науково-демонстраційних полігонах нових сортів рослин та технологій їх вирощування; реклама наукової продукції у ЗМІ та ін. На території сучасної Кіровоградщини, протягом періоду, що досліджувався, першочерговими закладами із випробування та впровадження наукової продукції сільськогосподарського спрямування були: «колективні досліди», опорно-показові пукти, дослідні господарства. У періоди активізації заходів із популяризації, поширення та впровадження наукових досягнень у с.-г. виробництво Кіровоградської області спостерігалося досягнення високих показників виробничої продуктивності та економічної ефективності в агарній сфері регіону. Зменшення активізації наукового забезпечення с.-г. виробництва відповідало періодам із найнижчим рівнем основних виробничо-фінансових показників аграрного сектору Кіровоградської області.
