A bibliometric appraisal of research on Artemisia from 1986-2016

doi:10.11686/cyxb2017082

Abstract

Abstract: 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 to 2016 and included in the core collection of the Web of Science^TM database. 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, first-author 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.
