The gulf of cross-disciplinary research collaborations on global river basins is not narrowed (Full-Text)
Using publications in the Web of Science database (WoS), this study investigates the research collaboration on the top 95 most researched global river basins since 1900. The links of both the disciplines involved and the management issues studied between the biophysical, economic, societal, climatic and governance sub-systems of these river basins were examined. We found…

Social life cycle assessment: mapping scientific knowledge
Social life cycle assessment (sLCA) is a methodology to support decision making on social impacts, positive and negative, actual or potential, related to product life cycles [1,2]. Being a relatively new tool, the indicators are not yet homogenized and the method does not have a standard to be followed nor a code of practice [3]…

Integrative model for discovering linked topics in science and technology
Highlights• The science and technology semantic linkage integration model improves the identification of linked topics in science and technology (LTSTs). • Simple fusion and link prediction form a twofold model to identify topics and implicit semantics. • Term co-occurrence networks of basic and applied research are fused. • The fusion expands topic networks and enhances…

Research Trends on Pillared Interlayered Clays (PILCs) Used as Catalysts in Environmental and Chemical Processes: Bibliometric Analysis (full-text)
Over the last four decades, a large number of studies have been published on pillared interlayered clays (PILCs) used as adsorbent materials and catalysts or supports for transition metals in heterogeneous catalysis. Particularly, PILCs have been used for water treatment through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to remove organic pollutants. They have also been studied in…

Anticipating New Treatments for Cystic Fibrosis: A Global Survey of Researchers (full-text)
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease that affects at least 100,000 people worldwide. It is caused by a defect in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene and presently, 360 CFTR-causing mutations have been identified. Since the discovery of the CFTR gene, the expectation of developing treatments that can substantially increase the quality of life…

Detecting trends in sustainability publications: research development and dynamics in “Green and sustainable science and technology” category
Although the sustainability movement began to take shape in the early nineteen seventies, it was not until 1987 with the publication of the Brundtland Report that it acquired institutional recognition. The academic community’s engagement with the movement came a few years later in the form of sustainability science, which developed and consolidated in keeping with…

A postcolonial feminist exploration of the scholarship on women and educational leadership with a bibliometric approach
This study applied a bibliometric approach to a dataset of publications on women and educational leadership to critically explore the nature of research in the field and the utility of the bibliometric method in its mapping. The analysis was conducted on bibliographic records of 823 papers on women and educational leadership published from 1975 to…

Dynamic network analytics for recommending scientific collaborators
Collaboration is one of the most important contributors to scientific advancement and a crucial aspect of an academic’s career. However, the explosion in academic publications has, for some time, been making it more challenging to find suitable research partners. Recommendation approaches to help academics find potential collaborators are not new. However, the existing methods operate…
