Research Trend Analysis of Molecular Imaging from the Perspective of Literature Data

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study molecular imaging from the perspective of bibliometric. Through data analysis and comparison analysis, study results can provide researchers help and advices, such as research trends, research frontier. This paper quantitatively analysis 18732 related molecular imaging literature from 2006 to 2015 by analysing Published literature quantity, countries and regions, research institutions and source journals using Scopus database based on SCIVAL data analysis platform and Excel software. Result shows that the molecular imaging research is still in the development stage in the last ten years, and the annual publication of the academic literature show the overall growth trend. The ACS Nano and the Journal of the American Chemical Society have the highest reputation in the field of molecular imaging. This study also give some helpful suggestions to domestic researchers in building research team, broadening cooperation channels,and tracking national science and technology policy.
