Electronic Theses & Dissertations are the intellectual content of an organization that remains unpublished and is considered a rich source of information for the academic community. Libraries are putting efforts to digitize the content and make it available and accessible online across the globe. The paper aims to portray the status of ETD, services, and embargo policies followed by the institutions. It also provides a glimpse of the data published in various journals indexed in the Web of Science database. Read More Read Less

Abstract Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease affecting tens or hundreds of millions of people, with over ten thousand fatalities every year. More research is needed to help eradicate it or reduce its prevalence. Some of this research needs to be region-specific to deal with public health issues. This article analyses dengue-related publications from one of the affected countries,... Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease affecting tens or hundreds of millions of people, with over ten thousand fatalities every year. More research is needed to help eradicate it or reduce its prevalence. Some of this research needs to be region-specific to deal with public health issues. This article analyses dengue-related publications from one of the affected countries, Malaysia, to assess the growth, prevalence, and subjects of published journal articles. The overall research design was to identify a collection of articles published in PubMed database and indexed in the WoS Core Collection and then produce a bibliometric profile of scientific publication. Malaysian research has increased in line with the growth of the disease, covering the four major topics of public health, mosquitos, the virus, and medical detection/ intervention. Malaysian dengue research is almost always multi-authored, usually involves more than one institution and often includes international collaboration. For all research, the first author is Malaysian (71%). Although Malaysian research is often published in relevant local journals, such as Tropical Biomedicine (8%), articles in international journals have more impact. Overall, the results point to Malaysia possessing an increasing amount of academic expertise in all fields relevant to the Dengue virus, which must be exploited to control infection rates to aid the infected patients.

Abstract The speedy development of the Russian vaccine, “Sputnik-V,” created by the Gamaleya National Research Center (the Gamaleya NRC), attracted great attention worldwide. However, it resulted from many Russian scholar’s” contri- butions to virology research (Kramer A., 2020). This project aims to provide insights into important research development on virology through empirical analysis of Russian publications from 2000-to 2019. The metadata was retrieved... The speedy development of the Russian vaccine, “Sputnik-V,” created by the Gamaleya National Research Center (the Gamaleya NRC), attracted great attention worldwide. However, it resulted from many Russian scholar’s” contri- butions to virology research (Kramer A., 2020). This project aims to provide insights into important research development on virology through empirical analysis of Russian publications from 2000-to 2019. The metadata was retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and InCites (Clarivate Anal.). The search strategy was discussed with an expert on virology. The Russian research performance (RP) growth rate was significantly higher - 290%, then the growth rate (190%) of the world dataset on virology from 2000 to 2019. The Dataset of Russian RP consisted of 6,636 records. A more detailed analysis was focused on the period 2015-2019. We selected for analysis three organizations that produced vaccines available for inoculation against COVID-19. These organizations are the Gamaleya National Research Center (the Gamaleya NRC) of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS), the State Research Center of Virology & Biotechnology (Vector), and the K.M.Chumakov Federal Research Center (Chumakov FRC). Among three organizations, publications of the Chumakov FRC had shown the highest value of all bibliometric indicators (nCites). The quality of publications is high: more than 69.3% of articles published in journals belonged to Q1 and Q2 quartiles. The Gamaleya NRC has the highest number of publications (394 records). Its researchers prefer to publish their results in Russian journals: the share of Q3 and Q4 journals was more than 57%. The “Vector” is a prominent organization on new vaccine development and production (Wilson C., 2002). It is strongly focused on domestic collaboration (67.0%) compared with two other organizations and total Russian RP (29.0%). Its share (56%) of domestic collaboration is approxi- mately twice higher than its share (29.4%) of international collaboration (IC ). The leader of this collaboration was the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch (SB) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Despite the low level of IC (19%), the USA is still the leading partner (10.8%). Funding agencies (FAs) have played an essential role in the research community in Russia since 1994. The leading FA was the Russian Science Foundation (RSF), followed by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) in 2015-2019. The National Institute of Health (NIH) played a significant role in Russian research on virology. The USA lost its dominance. Our results could benefit research, funding agencies, and health policy decision-makers. Read More Read Less
