“…Furthermore, the theme of Breast Cancer is composed of several relevant articles 48-52 mainly focused on the treatment of the cancer-related symptoms, highly researched also in the literature. 53 This finding is entirely in concordance with the social and economic repercussion of the breast cancer condition, 54 since it ranks second (15.4%) among cancer deaths after lung cancer in the developed nations. England has the highest relative interest in this theme.…”

Background: The prevalence of cancer has increased over time worldwide. Nevertheless, the number of deaths has been reduced during the past 2 decades. Thus, one-third of the cancer patients are users of complementary and alternative therapies, looking for other types of interventions. The main aim of the present study is to understand the current status of the research in integrative and complementary oncology. Three different aspects were analyzed: production trends, country collaboration, and leading research topics. Methods: The dataset was obtained from the documents indexed under the Integrative and Complementary Medicine category of the Web of Science database from 1976 to 2017. VOSviewer and SciMAT software were employed to perform the bibliometric analysis. Results: The Journal of Ethnopharmacology , China Medical University and the People’s Republic of China are the leading producers in the field. Regarding the collaboration, the United States and China present a close connection. The scientific community is focused on the following topics: apoptosis, breast cancer, oxidative stress, chemotherapy, and nuclear factor-Kappa-B (NF-Kappa-B). Conclusions: The present article shows potentially important information that allows understanding of the past, present, and future of research in integrative and complementary oncology. It is a useful evidence-based framework on which to base future research actions and academic directions.

“…The most related themes in a cluster network of "Waste Management Systems" are "Waste Collection", "Waste Generation", and "Source Separation". This could suggest that the themes are weakly (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020) incorporated and lacking in salience (Cobo et al, 2011;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018a;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018b). In this study, the theme "Environmental Impact Assessment" is firmly tight to "Ecosystem" and "Comparative Study".…”

“…Table 4 depicts the performance method of the themes in the second period. In this period, the motor theme "Municipal Solid Waste" presents the highest publication (797), h-index (52), and a strong position as the most vital theme (Cobo et al, 2011;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018a;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018b). Although the motor themes "Waste Disposal Facility", "Waste to Energy", and "Costs" has a fewer number of publications; the themes had provided an adequate h-index.…”

“…Themes that have a relationship between periods are associated with a link. The link thickness is relative to the Inclusion Index, which is explicated by the degree of commonly shared keywords between the two theme clusters (Cobo et al, 2011;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018a;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018b). Solid line links indicate the theme clusters that share keywords concerning themes, while dotted line links indicate the theme clusters that share keywords relating to themes that are not the main item (Cobo et al, 2011;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018a;Moral-Munoz et al, 2018b).…”

This study aims to learn the thematic evolution of Municipal Solid Waste Management research by revising Scopus indexed publications between 2001 and 2020. Within a longitudinal system, a scientific co-word inspection is conducted from 2001 to 2020. The publication series was split into two periods; the first period is from 2001 to 2010, and the second period is from 2011 to 2020. The findings, impact rates, and Municipal Solid Waste Management research’s conceptual growth are verified. In this emerging field of research, the co-word review established three key topic areas which are “Landfill”, “Urban Area”, and “Uncertainty”. The themes “Municipal Solid Waste,” “Waste Disposal,” “Costs,” “Waste to Energy” and “Environmental Impact Assessment” have changed from the first themes. The themes “Waste Management Systems,” “Treatment Technologies” and “Leachate” were found to have newly emerged and indicated that MSWM had been varied over successive periods. Future researchers could use this information to recognise the focus of awareness and make verdicts in various ways. There are a few limits of this study: 1) some of the Municipal Solid Waste Management publications may not have been included; 2) this study only considered publication records from the Scopus database, and 3) accordingly, the subject area may have changed if other new databases such as Google Scholar, Microsoft academics, or Dimensions have been retrieved. This study’s findings should be conceded as one proof-based structure for building future studies that benefit researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

“…They also discovered the scientific evolution of cancer-related symptoms in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) research area and identified the main research thematic by using the coword analysis. The coword analysis identified 12 main thematic areas including anxiety, survivors and palliative care, and meditation [ 8 ]. Jose's research studies can reflect the difference between CAM and ICM.…”

Background. This article aims to analyze the research status of integrative complementary medicine (ICM) and features of highly cited papers in the field to provide reference of the future development of ICM. Methods. Publications in the field of ICM from 2009 to 2018 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The top 20 countries/territories, institutions, journals, keywords of highly cited and noncited papers, and characteristics of essential science indicator (ESI) papers, as well as open access (OA) and non-OA papers, were analyzed. Results. Mainland China had the largest number of ICM publications. The top 20 journals published a total of 31667 papers in 2009–2018, which represented 92.9% of all publications. Keywords of highly cited and noncited papers point to different research directions. 48 ESI highly cited/hot papers were identified, most of which are related to phytochemistry. Furthermore, the average citation rate (percentage of publications that have been cited one or more times) of OA papers was lower than that of total papers and non-OA papers. Conclusions. China leads in number of publications; however, publication quality in ICM field requires improvement. A few journals accounted for more than half of number of publications and citations, which are important for the development of ICM. Many of the keywords in ICM noncited publications pointed towards broad meaning that poorly reflect the exact research content. Most highly cited ICM studies focused on the identification and evaluation of plant active components. OA may not be an effective approach to increase paper citations in the field of ICM.
