Abstract

In this paper, we present a bibliometric analysis of the Periodic Table. We have conducted a comprehensive analysis of Scopus based database using the keyword “Mendeleev Periodic Table". Our findings suggest that the Periodic Table is an influential topic in the field of Inorganic as well as Organic Chemistry. Areas for future research could include on expanding our analysis to include other bibliometric indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Periodic Table in the chemistry-based scientific investigations and even in the field of astrochemistry, which explores chemical processes in space, is intricately linked to fundamental chemistry. In this context, the quote of Carl Sagan is relevant where he eloquently expressed an inherent connection between chemistry and astrophysics: “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars.” In the ongoing study we have presented a ground level investigation of the conjecture of Sagan via Periodic Table based on bibliometric analysis whereas in the next level our aim is to present the stellar connection of it through Hertzsprung-Russel diagram as well as cluster of stars. The Periodic Table holistically serves as a foundational platform for understanding chemical elements both on the Earth and in celestial bodies. The present investigation fundamentally identifies the main working field of research and lays the groundwork for potential connections to astrochemical studies.

元素周期表的研究现状:文献计量分析
在本文中,我们对元素周期表进行了文献计量分析。我们使用关键词 "门捷列夫周期表 "对基于 Scopus 的数据库进行了全面分析。我们的研究结果表明,元素周期表在无机化学和有机化学领域都是一个有影响力的主题。今后的研究领域可以包括扩大我们的分析范围,纳入其他文献计量指标,以便更全面地了解元素周期表在以化学为基础的科学研究中的影响,甚至在探索空间化学过程的天体化学领域的影响。在这方面,卡尔-萨根(Carl Sagan)的一句话很有意义,他雄辩地表达了化学与天体物理学之间的内在联系:"我们 DNA 中的氮、我们牙齿中的钙、我们血液中的铁、我们苹果派中的碳都是在坍缩恒星的内部产生的"。在正在进行的研究中,我们通过基于文献计量学分析的元素周期表对萨根的猜想进行了基础研究,而在下一阶段,我们的目标是通过赫兹普朗-鲁塞尔图和星团来展示其与恒星的联系。从整体上看,元素周期表是了解地球和天体中化学元素的基础平台。本次调查从根本上确定了研究的主要工作领域,并为与天体化学研究的潜在联系奠定了基础。

期刊介绍: Foundations of Chemistry is an international journal which seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum where chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, educators and sociologists with an interest in foundational issues can discuss conceptual and fundamental issues which relate to the `central science'' of chemistry. Such issues include the autonomous role of chemistry between physics and biology and the question of the reduction of chemistry to quantum mechanics. The journal will publish peer-reviewed academic articles on a wide range of subdisciplines, among others: chemical models, chemical language, metaphors, and theoretical terms; chemical evolution and artificial self-replication; industrial application, environmental concern, and the social and ethical aspects of chemistry''s professionalism; the nature of modeling and the role of instrumentation in chemistry; institutional studies and the nature of explanation in the chemical sciences; theoretical chemistry, molecular structure and chaos; the issue of realism; molecular biology, bio-inorganic chemistry; historical studies on ancient chemistry, medieval chemistry and alchemy; philosophical and historical articles; and material of a didactic nature relating to all topics in the chemical sciences. Foundations of Chemistry plans to feature special issues devoted to particular themes, and will contain book reviews and discussion notes. Audience: chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, chemical educators, sociologists, and other scientists with an interest in the foundational issues of science.
