Assistive technology for people with dementia: an overview and bibliometric study

Abstract

The overall analysis shows that USA and UK are working extensively in AT research for people with dementia. Both these countries also have well established national dementia strategies.

Investigating global trends in paraquat intoxication research from 1962 to 2015 using bibliometric analysis

“…Among the prolific countries, the USA ranked first in terms of the number of publications, citations, h ‐index, and the number of internationally collaborative publications. These results match those observed in earlier bibliometric studies, These findings were expected because the USA has been recognized for its various and high‐quality international journals, scientists, and institutions in different fields of science . Other possible explanations for this, as suggested by previous studies, are that research outputs are positively correlated with a country's rapid economic development, population size, medical infrastructure, or academic investment.…”

Usability evaluation of the eHealth Long Lasting Memories program in Spanish elderly people

“…1 In Spain, as of January 2015, there were 8,572,779 elderly people, 18.4 percent of the total population (46,600,949), 2 of which up to 2014, there were 818,347 people with dementia disorders. 3 At the same time that the population is aging, information and communication technologies (ICT) have become elements of daily use. They are being rapidly integrated into most aspects of life, changing the nature of work, the form and scope of personal communication, education and health care.…”

An overview of the Web of Science record of scientific publications (2004–2013) from Nepal: focus on disciplinary diversity and international collaboration

“…Co-authorship relationship among the most productive countries collaborating with Nepal was visualised using VOSviewer (Van Eck & Waltman 2010). Most prolific and leading collaborators (countries, institutions) were determined by counting the frequency of occurrence of each of them in affiliations of any and the first author only (Asghar et al 2017).…”

“…This study used the number of papers in which a country other than Nepal and foreign institution appeared in affiliation strings as a simple proxy of that country's overall (or disciplinary) contribution in the form of international collaboration, and identified top ten (or five) countries. Following the approach of Asghar et al (2017), the data related to the first authorship also were obtained. Because of the analysis of WoS core collections almost exclusively in English, many regionally and locally important journals outside the WoS sphere but reporting a significant portion of research involving developing countries and their institutions in English and other languages (e.g., Japanese and French, known to contribute to science) with a co-author from Nepal could not be captured.…”
