Analysis of Technological Developments in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease through Patent Documents
Population aging and the consequent change in the profile of the age pyramid are already a reality the world over. One undeniable effect of this aging process is the significant increase in the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is the most common form of dementia, accounting for around 50% – 60% of all cases. AD…

Mapping the landscape of climate engineering
In the absence of a governance framework for climate engineering technologies such as solar radiation management (SRM), the practices of scientific research and intellectual property acquisition can de facto shape the development of the field. It is therefore important to make visible emerging patterns of research and patenting, which we suggest can effectively be done…

Mapping Knowledge Produced on Problem-Based Learning between 1945 and 2014: A Bibliometric Analysis
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been systematized for over forty years. However, there is still a lack of studies that seek to visualize the evolution of scientific literature on the subject. This paper seeks to fill this gap through the development of a bibliometric analysis by carrying out a data search on the Web of Science™ database and subsequently…

Evaluation of the Development of R&D into Parkinson’s Disease through Technology Monitoring Using Patent Documents and Scientific Articles
Characterized as a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, Parkinson’s disease is affecting an ever greater number of people around the world as global life expectancy rises. As the disease progresses, it has physical, mental, emotional, social, and economic impacts on the patient, eroding their quality of…
