Global Research Status and Comparison of Major Countries in Microbiology from 2017 to 2021
In order to better understand the development trend of microbiology at home and abroad,and provide valuable references for relevant scientific and technological decision-making and scientific research,based on ESI(Basic Science Indicators Database)and InCite platform,taking 129 965 articles in microbiology from 2017 to 2021 as research objects,bibliometric analysis is carried out from the aspects of region,institution and research topic.The results showed that the United States,China mainland,Germany and the United Kingdom are the most published countries,the number of papers and the overall influence of the United States are the first,and China mainland still has a large gap with the United States,Germany and the United Kingdom in the overall influence of the paper,patent citation rate and so on.Alliance of French Research Universities,University of California System,Chinese Academy of Sciences are the major research institutions;The United States Department of Health &Human Services,the National Natural Science Foundation of China,the US National Institutes of Health and other institutions funded the most papers.Clinical and life science is the main body of research in the field of microbiology,among which gut microbiota and coronavirus-related papers has increased significantly in the past two years.In general,the overall research level and achievement conversion rate in the field of local microbiology are low,and international cooperation has significantly improved the impact of our papers.It is suggested to enhance the level of local microbiology research by strengthening the layout of microbiology research and focusing on the cultivation of talents.At the same time,international exchanges and cooperation should be strengthened,especially the cooperation with international advantageous institutions in related research directions,and pay attention to the integration of industry,university and research.
