Mapping Research Productivity of BRICS Countries with Special Reference to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): A Scientometric Study

This study presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of research productivity on Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) among the BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, using data retrieved from the Web of Science database for the period 1990 to 2019. A total of 50,036 records were analyzed to assess publication growth trends, authorship patterns, collaboration levels, and citation impact. The findings reveal a steady increase in CAD-related publications, with China emerging as the leading contributor, followed by Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa. English dominated as the primary language of communication, accounting for over 93% of publications. Authorship and collaboration analysis indicate a high degree of joint research, with 97.91% of studies being co-authored and a degree of collaboration of 0.98, underscoring the collective nature of scientific inquiry in this domain. The study validates the applicability of Lotkas Law for author productivity, Bradfords Law for journal distribution, and Zipfs Law for keyword frequency, while the Price Square Root Law was found inapplicable. The predominant publication format was journal articles (79.7%), and Kardiologiya (Russia) emerged as the most prolific journal. The results demonstrate significant growth in CAD research output and collaboration within BRICS, though notable disparities persist among member nations. The study recommends enhancing individual author productivity, expanding international collaboration, and supporting CAD research through strategic institutional and governmental initiatives. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, funding agencies, and the academic community to strengthen cardiovascular research capacity within developing economies.

A Novel Defocus-Blur Region Detection Approach Based on DCT Feature and PCNN Structure

The motion or out-of-focus effect in digital images is the main reason for the blurred regions in defocused-blurred images. It may adversely affect various image features such as texture, pixel, and region. Therefore, it is important to detect in-focused objects in defocused-blurred images after the segmentation of blurred and non-blurred regions. The state-of-the-art techniques are prone to noisy pixels, and their local descriptors for developing segmentation metrics are also complex. To address these issues, this research, therefore, proposed a novel and hybrid-focused detection approach based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients and PC Neural Net (PCNN) structure. The proposed approach partially resolves the limitations of the existing contrast schemes to detect in-focused smooth objects from the out-of-focused smooth regions in the defocus dataset. The visual and quantitative evaluation illustrates that the proposed approach outperformed in terms of accuracy and efficiency to referenced algorithms. The highest F-score of the proposed approach on Zhao's dataset is 0.7940 whereas on Shi's dataset is 0.9178.

Lotka's Law and Authorship Distribution in Coronary Artery Disease Research in South Africa

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death and disability in developed countries. Although CAD mortality rates worldwide have declined over the past 4 decades, CAD remains responsible for approximately one-third or more of all deaths in individuals over age 35, and it has been estimated that nearly half of all middle-aged men and one-third of middle aged women in the United States will develop clinical CAD. The present paper attempts to check the applicability of Lotka's Law on South African publication on Coronary artery disease research. The study lights on Lotka's empirical law of scientific productivity, i.e., Inverse Square Law, to measure the scientific productivity of authors, to test Lotka's Exponent value and the K.S test for the fitness of Lotka's Law.

The paper explores and analyses the trend of world literature on "Coronavirus Disease" in terms of the output of research publications as indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) of Web of Science during the period from 2011 to 2020. The study found that 6071 research records have been published on Coronavirus Disease till March 20, 2020. The various scientometric components of the research records published in the study period were studied. The study reveals the various aspects of Coronavirus Disease literature such as year wise distribution, relative growth rate, doubling time of literature, geographical wise, organization wise, language wise, form wise , most prolific authors, and source wise. The highest number of articles was published in the year 2019, while lowest numbers of research article were reported in the year 2020. Further, the relative growth rate is gradually increases and on the other hand doubling time decreases. Most of the research publications are published in English language and most of the publications published in the form of research articles. USA is the highest contributor to the field of Coronavirus Disease literature.
