  • A scientometric review of Global Research on sustainability and sustainable development
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018
    Co-Authors: Timothy O. Olawumi, Daniel W.m. Chan
    Abstract:

    The concept of sustainable development has gained worldwide attention in recent years which had enhanced its implementation. However, few studies have attempted to map the Global Research of sustainability. This study utilizes scientometric review of Global trend and structure of sustainability Research in 1991–2016 using techniques such as co-author, co-word, co-citation, clusters, and geospatial analyses. A total of 2094 bibliographic records from the Web of Science database were analyzed to generate the study's Research power networks and geospatial map. The findings reveal an evolution of the Research field from the definition of its concepts in the Brundtland Commission report to the recent development of models and sustainability indicators. The most significant contributions in sustainability Research have originated primarily from the United States, China, United Kingdom and Canada. Also, existing studies in sustainability Research focus mainly on subject categories of environmental sciences, green & sustainable science technology, civil engineering, and construction & building technology. Emerging trends in sustainability Research were sustainable urban development, sustainability indicators, water management, environmental assessment, public policy, etc.; while the study generated 21 co-citation clusters. This study provides its readers with an extensive understanding of the salient Research themes, trends and pattern of sustainability Research worldwide.

  • Needlestick injuries: a density-equalizing mapping and socioeconomic analysis of the Global Research
    International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2020
    Co-Authors: David A. Groneberg, David Quarcoo, Doris Klingelhöfer, Hannah Braumann, Stefan Rolle, Axel Fischer, Albert Nienhaus, Dörthe Brüggmann
    Abstract:

    Background Needlestick injuries have caused a deleterious effect on the physical and mental health of millions of health-care workers over the past decades, being responsible for occupational infections with viruses such as HIV or hepatis C. Despite this heavy burden of disease, no concise studies have been published on the Global Research landscape so far. Methods We used the New Quality and Quantity Indices in Science platform to analyze Global NSI Research ( n  = 2987 articles) over the past 115 years using the Web of Science and parameters such as Global versus country-specific Research activities, semi-qualitative issues, and socioeconomic figures. Results Density-equalizing mapping showed that although a total of n  = 106 countries participated in NSI Research, large parts of Africa and South America were almost invisible regarding Global participation in NSI Research. Average citation rate (cr) analysis indicated a high rate for Switzerland (cr = 25.1), Italy (cr = 23.5), and Japan (cr = 19.2). Socioeconomic analysis revealed that the UK had the highest quotient Q _GDP of 0.13 NSI-specific publications per bill. US-$ gross domestic product (GDP), followed by South Africa ( Q _GDP = 0.12). Temporal analysis of HIV versus hepatitis Research indicated that NSI-HIV Research culminated in the early 1990s, whereas NSI-hepatitis Research increased over the observed period from the 1980s until the last decade. Conclusion Albeit NSI Research activity is generally increasing, the growth is asymmetrical from a Global viewpoint. International strategies should be followed that put a focus on NSI in non-industrialized areas of the world.

  • Ochratoxin – Characteristics, influences and challenges of Global Research
    Food Control, 2020
    Co-Authors: Doris Klingelhöfer, Dörthe Brüggmann, Markus Braun, N. Schöffel, Gerhard M Oremek, David A. Groneberg
    Abstract:

    Abstract Ochratoxin, especially Ochratoxin A, is assumed to be one of the five most important mycotoxins contaminating food and feed. Primarily developing countries are affected due to the climate conditions and poorer modes of production. The overall adverse health effects on humans are still unclear, although threatening associations have been proven. Knowledge gaps lead to difficult scientific assessments and different regulations worldwide. Therefore, this study aims at the evaluation of Global Research by applying advanced bibliometric approaches in combination with convincing visualization techniques based on density equalizing mapping. An amount of 3900 publications on Ochratoxin could be identified published between 1965 and 2019. The USA, China, and Germany are the most publishing countries, whereas, in terms of socio-economic impact, Croatia, Tunisia, and Serbia occupied the first ranks. Influenced by the scientific infrastructure or epidemiological history, these countries satisfy the needs of Research. Nevertheless, especially developing countries that belong to the most affected regions are only marginally participating. They have to be integrated into international networks. A public increasing awareness would lead to take up the challenge of controlling human exposure by implication of food and feed safety.

  • Crohn's Disease: A Critical Approach to Publication Procedures and Citation Behavior of the Global Research Network.
    Journal of clinical gastroenterology, 2018
    Co-Authors: N. Schöffel, Dörthe Brüggmann, Doris Klingelhöfer, Michael H. K. Bendels, David A. Groneberg
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND AND GOALS Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease, which can lead to abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, severe diarrhea, and malnutrition. Despite enormous efforts and progress in diagnosis and therapy, there are still many aspects of uncertainty leading to an increasing scientific interest in this topic. As it is challenging to survey all articles regarding CD and to measure their scientific importance, this study uses reliable scientometric tools to evaluate the Global Research output on CD related to quantitative and qualitative aspects and in chronological and geographical context. STUDY We conducted a scientometric analysis to assess all Global Research activity on CD from 1900 until 2013. We analyzed the Research output of countries, individual institutions, journals, authors and their collaborative networks and depicted our findings by density-equalizing map projections. RESULTS The worldwide Research architecture indicated that the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France play leading role regarding scientific activity, h-indices, multilateral and bilateral cooperations. There is a dramatic increase of collaborative publications since the 1990s, which underlines recent studies pronouncing that the scientific progress will be mainly depending on international cooperations. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the field of CD is constantly progressing, in which the influence of international cooperations on the scientific productivity is of major and growing importance. North American and Western European nations constitute the scientific leaders in the field of CD whereas developing or underdeveloped countries did not exhibit considerable Research productivity.

  • Ebola and Its Global Research Architecture—Need for an Improvement
    PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2015
    Co-Authors: David Quarcoo, Dörthe Brüggmann, Doris Klingelhöfer, David A. Groneberg
    Abstract:

    The current Ebola outbreak poses a threat to individual and Global public health. Although the disease has been of interest to the scientific community since 1976, an effective vaccination approach is still lacking. This fact questions past Global public health strategies, which have not foreseen the possible impact of this infectious disease. To quantify the Global Research activity in this field, a scientometric investigation was conducted. We analyzed the Research output of countries, individual institutions and their collaborative networks. The resulting Research architecture indicated that American and European countries played a leading role regarding output activity, citations and multi- and bilateral cooperations. When related to population numbers, African countries, which usually do not dominate the Global Research in other medical fields, were among the most prolific nations. We conclude that the field of Ebola Research is constantly progressing, and the Research landscape is influenced by economical and infrastructural factors as well as historical relations between countries and outbreak events.

    Co-Authors: Smisha Agarwal, Karen Kirk, Pooja Sripad, Ben Bellows, Timothy Abuya, Charlotte Warren
    Abstract:

    Background Globally, there is renewed interest in and momentum for strengthening community health systems, as also emphasized by the recent Astana Declaration. Recent reviews have identified factors critical to successful community health worker (CHW) programs but pointed to significant evidence gaps. This review aims to propose a Global Research agenda to strengthen CHW programs. Methods and results We conducted a search for extant systematic reviews on any intermediate factors affecting the effectiveness of CHW programs in February 2018. A total of 30 articles published after year 2000 were included. Data on Research gaps were abstracted and summarized under headings based on predominant themes identified in the literature. Following this data gathering phase, two technical advisory groups comprised of experts in the field of community health—including policymakers, implementors, Researchers, advocates and donors—were convened to discuss, validate, and prioritize the Research gaps identified. Research gap areas that were identified in the literature and validated through expert consultation include selection and training of CHWs, community embeddedness, institutionalization of CHW programs (referrals, supervision, and supply chain), CHW needs including incentives and remuneration, governance and sustainability of CHW programs, performance and quality of care, and cost-effectiveness of CHW programs. Priority Research questions included queries on effective policy, financing, governance, supervision and monitoring systems for CHWs and community health systems, implementation questions around the role of digital technologies, CHW preferences, and drivers of CHW motivation and retention over time. Conclusions As international interest and investment in CHW programs and community health systems continue to grow, it becomes critical not only to analyze the evidence that exists, but also to clearly define Research questions and collect additional evidence to ensure that CHW programs are effective, efficient, equity promoting, and evidence based. Generally, the literature places a strong emphasis on the need for higher quality, more robust Research.
