Malaria has inflicted serious morbidity and mortality across the globe. The major brunt of the disease has been on African, South-East Asian and South American countries. Proportionally, malaria has attracted global research priorities and this is evident from the number of publications related to malaria from across the globe, irrespective of its endemicity. However, formal and exhaustive analyses of these ‘malaria publications’ are rarely reported. The systematic review and secondary data analyses were done to retrieve information on what has been published on malaria, where is it published, and which countries are major contributors to malaria research.The study presents malaria publications from 1945 to 2020 retrieved using three databases: Web of Science™, Embase® and Scopus®. Exported data were examined to determine the number of publications over time, their subject areas, contributions from various countries/organizations, and top publishing journals.The total number of published records on malaria ranged from 90,282 to 112,698 (due to three different databases). Based on the number of publications, USA, UK, France, and India were identified as the top four countries. Malaria Journal, American Journal of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene, and PLoS One were the most preferred journals, whereas the University of London (Institutions other than LSHTM), the National Institute of Health, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the University of Oxford appeared to be the top contributing organization.A disproportional contribution to malaria research was observed with non-malaria endemic countries making the largest contribution. Databases differed in their output format and needed standardization to make the outputs comparable across databases.

“…Although a few bibliometric studies have been performed on research related to malaria, ours is a first analysis of this kind as its targets global malaria bibliometric research through three different databases. Previously published bibliometric malaria-related research was either restricted to a particular geography (Latin America -Munoz-Urbano et al, 2014; China – Fu et al, 2015, Du et al, 2021; India – Singh and Mahanty, 2019, Gupta and Bala, 2011; Malawi – Mwendera et al, 2017; Portugal – Ferreira and Teixeira, 2019; Central African Republic - Nzoumbou-Boko et al, 2022), a particular period or a specific context related to malaria (artemisinin – Dong et al, 2022, Xu et al, 2018; Yao et al, 2012; malaria vaccines – Garg et al, 2009; malaria in pregnancy - van Eijk et al, 2012; malaria vector resistance – Sweileh et al, 2016; anti-malarial drug resistance - Sweileh et al, 2017; citations - Ghamgosar, Zarghani, and Nemati-Anaraki, 2021, Kolle, Vijayashree, and Shankarappa, 2017) or to a wider term such as mosquito-borne disease (Ong, Pauzi, and Gan, 2022) or parasitology (Ellis et al, 2020) or even COVID-19 (Mala et al, 2022). We could find only one article that analyzed global research on malaria (Garrido-Cardenas et al, 2019) but this article was focused on P. vivax and only from the Scopus database.…”

BackgroundMalaria is a life-threatening and ancient disease that has inflicted serious morbidity and mortality across the globe. The major brunt of the disease has been on African, South East Asian and South American countries. Proportionally, malaria has attracted global research priorities amongst infectious diseases and this is evident from the number of publications directly or indirectly related to malaria from across the globe, irrespective of the endemicity of the disease. However, formal and exhaustive analyses of these ‘malaria publications’ are rarely done and published.MethodsWe therefore did a systematic analyses of the literature published on malaria with an intent to retrieve information on what has been published on malaria, where is it published and which countries are major contributors in malaria research. The study presents malaria publications from 1945 to 2020 retrieved using three global databases: Web of Science™, Embase® and Scopus®. Exported data was examined to determine the number of publications over time, their subject areas, contributions from various countries/organizations, and top publishing journals.ResultsThe total number of published records on malaria ranged from 90,282-1,12,698. On the basis of the number of publications, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and India were identified as the top four countries. Malaria Journal, American Journal of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene and PLoS One were the most preferred journals whereas the University of London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the University of Oxford appeared to be the top contributing organizations.ConclusionThe study concluded that a disproportional contribution to malaria research was observed with non-malaria endemic countries making the largest contribution. Databases were found to be incomparable and must be standardized on multiple dimensions before making a comparison. There are still some pertinent outstanding questions that need to be addressed: why there is still a research mismatch between endemic and non-endemic regions? why a standardized and comparable information is still not available for direct and quick analyses? is less case-based research conducted as compared to in-vitro or in animal models?

“…We further assessed the attributes by using two feature selection methods: RFE ( Figure 7 ) rigorously filtered all the variables and found five attributes highly related to the target outcome, and Boruta further selected the two most important attributes ( Figure 8 ) as the representative determinants. Feature selection is a standard procedure to filter or select the important attributes that determine the sentiments of the public [ 25 ], and we further pinpointed the sentiment determinants related to the vaccine booster by using multivariance logistics regression. This study’s procedures are standard across other infectious diseases [ 15 , 16 , 25 ], and the results of our model showing two representative attributes—“pfizer” and “mix”—were supported by Ahmed et al [ 13 ], Aygun et al [ 16 ], Marcec et al [ 17 ], etc., in that the brand of vaccine played a crucial role when the public plan was to administer an additional vaccine booster.…”

Text Mining and Determinants of Sentiments towards the COVID-19 Vaccine Booster of Twitter Users in Malaysia

Vaccination is the primary preventive measure against the COVID-19 infection, and an additional vaccine dosage is crucial to increase the immunity level of the community. However, public bias, as reflected on social media, may have a significant impact on the vaccination program. We aim to investigate the attitudes to the COVID-19 vaccination booster in Malaysia by using sentiment analysis. We retrieved 788 tweets containing COVID-19 vaccine booster keywords and identified the common topics discussed in tweets that related to the booster by using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and performed sentiment analysis to understand the determinants for the sentiments to receiving the vaccination booster in Malaysia. We identified three important LDA topics: (1) type of vaccination booster; (2) effects of vaccination booster; (3) vaccination program operation. The type of vaccination further transformed into attributes of “az”, “pfizer”, “sinovac”, and “mix” for determinants’ assessments. Effect and type of vaccine booster associated stronger than program operation topic for the sentiments, and “pfizer” and “mix” were the strongest determinants of the tweet’s sentiments after the Boruta feature selection and validated from the performance of regression analysis. This study provided a comprehensive workflow to retrieve and identify important healthcare topic from social media.
