To analyze the literature on forensic sciences indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in recent 10 years, and to understand the research status, characteristics and trends in the field of forensic sciences.
Literature on forensic sciences from 2008 to 2017 in Web of Science (WoS) was retrieved. The documents number and geographical distribution, document types, source titles, organizations, research areas, authors, funding agencies, and the high cited articles were detected. The impact factors (IF) of journals were retrieved in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics.
From 2008 to 2017, there were 21 001 documents on forensic sciences in SCIE. The main document type was articles, with English as the major language. With regards to research areas, pathology has the largest number of papers worldwide, and genetics and heredity has the largest number of publications in mainland China. Among the 18 journals where the documents was published, ranks the first on publication count, and has the highest IF (5.637) in the JCR 2017. In 2017, the number of papers from mainland China increased by 48.50% compared with 2016, which was higher than the global increase (32.63%) and the top-5 countries in terms of number of publications (the US, Germany, the UK, Australia, Italy). The average document count per organization is 1.98 worldwide and 1.17 in mainland China, respectively. The publication number per author is 0.53 worldwide and 0.36 in mainland China, respectively. Around 28.17% of the publications were funded, with National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) as the Top 1 funding agency (192 papers). Among the documents with citations, the most cited publication has been cited for 366 times.
The yearly numbers of publications on forensic sciences are increasing during recent 10 years. Focusing on the mainland China, there would be more high-quality papers with the steady funding of NSFC.
分析近10年被科学引文索引扩展版(SCIE)收录的法医学文献,了解法医学领域的研究现状、特点和趋势。
检索科学网(WoS)中2008年至2017年的法医学文献。对文献数量及地理分布、文献类型、来源期刊、机构、研究领域、作者、资助机构以及高被引文章进行分析。在期刊引证报告(JCR)中检索期刊的影响因子(IF)。采用描述性统计方法对数据进行分析。
2008年至2017年,SCIE收录法医学文献21001篇。主要文献类型为论文,主要语言为英语。在研究领域方面,全球范围内病理学论文数量最多,中国大陆地区遗传学与遗传领域发表的论文数量最多。在发表文献的18种期刊中, 发表数量排名第一, 在2017年JCR中的IF最高(5.637)。2017年,中国大陆地区的论文数量较2016年增长了48.50%,高于全球增长率(32.63%)以及发文量排名前5的国家(美国、德国、英国、澳大利亚、意大利)。全球每个机构的平均发文量为1.98篇,中国大陆地区为1.17篇。全球每位作者的发文量为0.53篇,中国大陆地区为0.36篇。约28.17%的出版物有资助,中国国家自然科学基金(NSFC)为首要资助机构(192篇论文)。在有被引文献中,被引次数最多的文献被引366次。
近10年法医学领域的年发文量呈增长趋势。聚焦中国大陆地区,随着NSFC的稳定资助,将会有更多高质量的论文产出。
