Zirconium research in nuclear science and technology: a scientometric perspective

Research trends in radioactive waste management: a global perspective

“…Research publications are clearly one of the quantitative measures for the basic research activity in a country. Many scientometric studies have appeared in the literature to focus on the performance of nuclear science and technology (Kademani et al, 2006a(Kademani et al, , 2006b(Kademani et al, , 2006c(Kademani et al, , 2008(Kademani et al, , 2011a(Kademani et al, , 2011bSagar et al, 2009Sagar et al, , 2010aSagar et al, , 2010b. There are also other kinds of research and technology development-mission oriented, industry-oriented, country-specific, etc.…”

Research trends in agricultural science: A global perspective

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Many scientometric studies have appeared in the literature to focus on the performance of nuclear science and technology. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Scientometric studies are useful in understanding the growth of literature, identifying strengths and weaknesses of a country, organization and an individual in various domains of scientific endeavors. These studies will help the policy makers and science administrators to have better insights in framing science policy and guiding the researchers.…”

Review—Preparation of Zirconium Metal by Electrolysis

“…[9][10][11] Moreover, zirconium metal has low thermal neutron capture cross section (1.85 × 10 −29 m 2 ), and 90% of the demand is used in the nuclear field. [12][13][14][15][16] Zirconium does not exist as a natural metal because of its strong chemical activity at ambient temperatures during crust solidification. 17 The economic sources of zirconium are zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) and baddeleyite.…”
