“…Table 4 shows the data from the 12 most productive countries in biomedicine and health sciences and compares the data for general productivity in the psychiatry and neurology disciplines, with productivity in the specific field of AADs. Our results are similar to those reported by Gupta and Bala [13] ; according to this study, India holds 12 th rank among the productive countries in medicine research consisting of 65,745 papers with a global publication share of 1.59% [46] . It is worth nothing that countries such as India, Spain and Canada sit near the top of the ranking for producing publications on AADs (see also Figure 4).…”

Background:We carried out a bibliometric study on the scientific publications on atypical antipsychotic drugs (AADs) from India. Methods: Using the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases, we performed the selection of documents produced in India. We applied bibliometric indicators of production and dispersion, namely Price's law on the increase of scientific literature and Bradford's law, respectively. We also calculated the participation index (PI) of different countries. The bibliometric data have also been correlated with relevant social and health data from India (including total per capita expenditure on health and gross domestic expenditure on research and development). Results: In this study, we identified 639 original documents published between 1998 and 2013 from India. Our results indicated fulfilment of Price's law (correlation coefficient r = 0.9619 after exponential adjustment vs. r = 0.9382 after linear adjustment). The most widely studied AADs were olanzapine (173 documents), clozapine (117), risperidone (100) and quetiapine (65). Publications appeared in 221 different journals, with only 4 of the top 10 journals having an impact factor greater than 2. Division into Bradford zones yielded a nucleus occupied by the Indian Journal of Psychiatry (53 articles). It is remarkable that the 27.38% of the production is devoted to "medical/pharmaceutical chemistry" field. India has the largest ratio PI AAD / PI Psychiatry and Neurology in the world's 12 most productive countries in biomedicine and health sciences. Conclusions: The publications on AADs in India have undergone exponential growth over the studied period, without evidence of reaching a saturation point.

“…4 Scientometric analysis of research areas enable studying the growth of a research field and helps in identifying prominent authors, institutes, etc. Such studies have been carried out in many areas [5][6][7] ; however, an analytical study on zebrafish research output has not been carried out so far. A scientometric study of this important organism will enable us to understand the trends in zebrafish research as we use this model organism to explore new research frontiers.…”

On the basis of analysis of 17,151 records on zebrafish identified from Zebrafish Information Network: the zebrafish model organism database and Web of Science, the research performance on this model organism has been evaluated. The earliest research work on zebrafish as reflected in the databases goes back to 1951. After a rather slow growth till the 1980s, research on zebrafish gained momentum in the 1990s. Analysis shows a rapid and consistent increase in the publication output with 226 publications in the year 1996, to 1929 publications in the year 2012. The prominent areas of zebrafish research, journals, and leading authors as reflected from the research output have been identified. USA is the most productive country with 8196 articles. The most frequently used keywords were also determined to gain insights about the research trends and some of the commonly used keywords other than zebrafish and Danio rerio are development, retina, and gene expression.

“…This investigation showed that the India rank was the twelfth among world scientific productions about medicine. More India's scientific contributions in Medicine associated with the Cancer and Cardiovascular diseases and were introduced as highly cited articles according to the citation of 100 articles [8]. Kaue studied India's programs in pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceutics from 1998 to 2007, based on several parameters, including the country annual average growth rate, sharing and ranking of global publication, and international collaboration [3].…”

Aim -This study was designed to analyze the citations of medical education to measure primarily the research trend of Problem-based learning in medical education and to compare them in the fields of dentistry with medicine, nursing and pharmacology. Material and Methods -This study was a descriptive study using scientometrics and systematic review of citations. Electronic data bases Web of Science and PubMed were searched during the 2003-2013 for related article were extracted and critically appraised based on the level of education visualize the application of Problem-based learning in dentistry and pharmacology, nursing and medicine. We analyzed data using SPSS 18. A p-value less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results -Dentistry 64(8%) was ranked three followed by nursing. The dentistry was ranked in the third on sharing articles of implementing Problem based Learning in education. The year 2007 was the apex of dentistry's scientific productions on Problem based learning. Among the countries, the USA was identified leading country .All of the four fields of pharmacology, medicine, nursing, dentistry Problem based learning was the most applied in lesson than other levels of education. A statistically significantly association was found between Impact Factor and the number of citations in published articles (p<0.001, rs=0.43) and geographic dispersion (according to continental distribution) and PBL applications field (P<0.001). Conclusion -These findings indicate gap Problem-based learning in the fields of medical sciences and future studies need to establish differences other fields and suggest appropriate solutions to resolve the dispute.
