“…Overall this demonstrates a focus on renewable energy sources, with greatest emphasis on wind and solar. This result is similar to previous studies [40,41], though we found a somewhat larger share of papers focusing on hydropower and bioenergy than these past reviews. The strong emphasis on solar and wind may seem somewhat unexpected given the small fraction of the global energy supply that currently comes from these sources (0.2% and 0.5% respectively [42]).…”

Robust, quantitative comparisons of environmental effects across energy sources can support development of energy planning strategies that meet growing demand while managing and minimizing undesirable effects on environmental resources. Multicriteria analyses of energy systems often use a suite of indicators to make such comparisons, but those indicators and their units of measure vary among studies. We reviewed 179 papers that described or applied energy indicators to compare environmental effects of different primary energy sources to answer four questions:(1) what environmental indicators have been used in multicriteria energy-source comparisons? (2) across studies, how consistently are these indicators used to quantify effects? (3) to what degree are different effects accounted for across energy sources and locations? and (4) how comprehensive are indicators in terms of assessing known environmental effects? For reviewed studies, we quantified the number of unique indicators and the diversity of indicators used to measure different effects. We also recorded the specific measurement units applied to quantify each indicator, the energy sources evaluated, and the continent where each study was conducted. While we found that many environmental effects of energy development have been analyzed across multiple sources, indicators were frequently measured, interpreted, and applied in ways that are not directly comparable, and some known environmental effects were infrequently assessed. We also found an emphasis on applying indicators to renewable energy sources; assessing current and potential energy sources, both renewable and nonrenewable, would greatly clarify the full suite of tradeoffs among sources and can inform energy development strategies that minimize adverse environmental effects. Overall, our review indicated that making comprehensive comparisons of the effects of energy development across sources may require efforts to standardize how effects are measured, synthesize effects literature into an open-source database, expand the range of environmental effects analyzed, and establish consistent frameworks for comparison.

“…Similarly, the China-Japan collaborations was outstanding with 36 joint publications. Collaborative countries tend to be geographically correlated and centre into the countries ranking higher in terms of total publications, which is mirrored by findings in other scientific fields (Niu et al 2014;Gao et al 2015;Mao et al 2015).…”

With great versatile characteristics, micro/nano-bubble related research have attracted much attention due to their extensive applications in the last half century.Researchers not merely focus on their physi-chemical properties, but also aim at their wellcontrolled generation methods and potential adhibition field. It can be expected that the future prospects of micro/nano-bubble related research will be tremendous and that there will be even more to be explored. In this case study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to evaluate micro/nano-bubble related research from 1991 to 2014, based on the Science Citation Index EXPANDED database. The Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology with the highest h-index of 56 is the leading journal in this field, publishing 6.9 % of articles over this period, followed by Langmuir and Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. USA and the Univ Toronto, Canada were the most productive country and institution, respectively, while the USA, was the most internationally collaborative and had the highest hindex (111) of all countries. A new method named ''word cluster analysis'' was successfully applied to trace the research hotspots. Innovation in detection means and novel pathways for medical applications via micro/nano-bubble is considered to relate to the Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…Only two other languages were found, but they can be considered anecdotal, since only three documents were written in French and another one in Spanish. Once more, this bibliometric analysis demonstrated that English is the principal language for scientific research, and more specifically in the engineering field [76,77]. The distribution of document types was analyzed.…”

A Bibliometric Study of Scientific Publications regarding Hemicellulose Valorization during the 2000–2016 Period: Identification of Alternatives and Hot Topics

A bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database was carried out to identify the research trends related to hemicellulose valorization from 2000 to 2016. The results from the analysis revealed an increasing number of annual publications, a high degree of transdisciplinary collaboration and prolific contributions by European researchers on this topic. The importance of a holistic approach to consider the simultaneous valorization of the three main components of lignocellulosic biomass (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) must be highlighted. Optimal pretreatment processes are critical for the correct fractionation of the biomass and the subsequent valorization. On the one hand, biological conversion of sugars derived from hemicellulose can be employed for the production of biofuel (ethanol) or chemicals such as 2,3-butadiene, xylitol and lactic acid. On the other hand, the chemical transformation of these sugars produces furfural, 5-hydroxyfurfural and levulinic acid, which must be considered very important starting blocks for the synthesis of organic derivatives.
