Study on global science and social science entropy research trend

Abstract

In this paper the methods of bibliometric analysis were used to investigate the global entropy research trend based on the SCI and SSCI database, which can be employed to study the global research trend. The paper number, subjects, journals, countries, institutes, authors, citations and funding agencies were analyzed respectively on each published papers. As a concept emerged firstly from science, entropy was then extended rapidly to social science as a typical example of such concept extensions. The bibliometric analysis results make out that great academic successes were made on global entropy research and a great success were obtained from science to social science research. Entropy related researches were funded by many funding agencies and countries so that some high quality productivities were published. It is the excellent scientists as well as sufficient foundations that brought the extension on entropy from science to social science in the last two decades.

The User-Preferred Optimal Flight Parameters in an Active Navigational System in a Multi-Alternative Situation

“…Then: (15) At the given problem setting for the second alternative individual's subjective preference function first complete derivative with respect to time: (16) Since the preferences functions do not depend upon time t in the explicit view, then: (17) hence, instead of ( 16) with taking into consideration condition of (17), one can use just: (18) Where: (19) Thus for equation ( 19): (20) And (21) Therefore for equation ( 21) the proposed approach yields: (22) Now, substituting the obtained expressions of ( 20) and (22) for their corresponding values into the complete derivative equation ( 18) satisfactorily for the presented problem setting, one can have: (23) Substituting the result of ( 23) for its corresponding value into the second equation of ( 15), it gives: (24) Canceling in the expression of ( 24) for π ≠ 0, one can get: (25) And from (25) at x ≠ 0.…”

“…And the cornerstone of the theory is the principle of subjective optimality [1, Introduction, especially pp. [15][16][17].…”

“…entropy approaches are very popular in sciences accordingly with the reference study presented in the conference proceedings [16]. In this paper the entropy paradigm in the view of SeMP [1], developed on the basis of the well-known Jaynes' principle [17][18][19], is going to be used for theoretical contemplations related with the navigational flight parameters.…”

Global food allergy research trend: a bibliometric analysis

“…Tabulated are the top 15 articles that have been cited the most in the field of food allergy between 2001 and 2014. It has to be noted that the number of citations generated by a paper is an indicator of the impact of that particular article on the field, but not necessarily the quality and eminence of it (Ma et al 2012).…”

The application of weighted co‐occurring keywords time gram in academic research temporal sequence discovery

“…Corresponding researches have formed some specific research topics such as trend analysis of disciplines, discovery of academic hotspot, etc. Ma and Lv (2012) use bibliometrics analysis with temporal analysis and draw conclusion that concepts in specific research area can expand to other areas with time passing by. Yin and Hirokawa (2013) design a cross tabulation search engine with the functions of conducting search, recognizing important authors and documents, and analyzing research trends.…”
