“…Daher soll anhand der wissenschaftlichen Produktionen der zurückliegenden Jahre ein Überblick über die Bedeutung der MRT für die Wissenschaft/Medizin gegeben und analysiert werden. Die vorliegende, im Rahmen des NewQIS-Projekts [14] initiierte Studie, analysiert quantitativ (Anzahl der Publikationen) als auch qualitativ (Zitationsanalysen) unter Zuhilfenahme szientometrischer Methoden.…”

“…While the gain of knowledge concerning these studies was recently summarized by Smith et al 1) and there are also reports on publishing trends and citation indexing available 10,11) , novel scientometric techniques in combination with visualizing techniques have not been implemented so far. Therefore, the present study was designed to visualize research activity using INDUSTRIAL HEALTH articles and density equalizing procedures in combination with classical bibliometric techniques in accordance to the NewQIS protocols 12,13) .…”

Bibliometric techniques have been introduced to the field of industrial health in the past two decades. Since then, several studies have assessed progression of science in this area using quantitative measures and qualitative measures such as impact factor or H-indices. Since novel procedures such as density-equalizing mapping have not been used so far, the present study combined classical bibliometric tools with novel scientometric and visualizing techniques. All "INDUSTRIAL HEALTH" entries listed in the ISI database since 1987 were screened and analyzed. Using bibliometric approaches, a continuous increase in qualitative markers such as collaboration numbers or citations were found while quantity markers such as author numbers or publication numbers remained relatively constant. The combination with density equalizing mapping revealed a distinct global pattern of research productivity and citation activity with Japanese institutions at the leading position. Radar chart techniques were used to visualize bi-and multilateral research cooperations and institutional cooperations. In summary, the present study supplies a first scientometric-bibliometric approach that visualizes research activity in "INDUS-TRIAL HEALTH" over the past decades.

The aim of this study was to assess the evolution of biomedical scientific activities of Wrocław scientists in the post-war time when this field of academics was rebuilt by the works of Ludwik Hirszfeld and colleagues. Using the NewQIS platform and the Web of Science database, novel procedures such as density-equalizing mapping were combined to bibliometric tools to visualize scientific progression. In total, 10,366 biomedical research articles originating from Wrocław were identified. Since 1972, there is a steady increase in research activity with the year 2015 holding the largest number of published items (895). A total of 2934 published research cooperations with 104 different countries is present. This is a percentage of 28.3% of all publications. In total, 101 research areas are present in Wrocław biomedical research with the highest number of articles being published in the area of biochemistry/molecular biology (2140). Research in this field was cited 27,360 times. The field of immunology has 1186 articles with 9247 citations. Density-equalizing mapping and network techniques revealed a distinct global pattern of research collaborations with German, US and UK affiliations as the primary cooperating partners of Wrocław. In summary, the present study supplies the first density-equalizing mapping approach that visualizes research activity in Wrocław over the past decades.
