Abstract

Objective

The International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives (IJAA) stands out as one of the most prominent international journals on adhesion. This study analyzed articles published by IJAA through bibliometric and altmetric analysis.

Methodology

The search was conducted in July 2024 using the Web of Science. The following data were extracted from the articles: citation count and density, year, language, access type, funding agency, document type, research area, country, institution, authors, and keywords. VOSviewer software was used to generate collaborative network maps. Dimension was consulted to measure altmetric data. Google Trends was used to investigate the global popularity of IJAA research.

Results

A total of 3633 articles were included. Citation counts ranged from 0 to 492. The articles were published between 1987 and 2024. All articles were published in English. Research articles were the most prevalent (n = 3298), and the most investigated area was “Technologies and Engineering” (n = 3205). China was prominent (n = 510), but there was broad distribution among other countries. European authors and institutions were notable. The most common keyword was “adhesion” (n = 242). VOSviewer showed high collaboration between countries. Intense mentions were identified mainly in Mendeley and Patents. According to Google Trends, Iran was the country that searched for IJAA the most.

Conclusions

IJAA has shown significant growth in the number of citations and published articles over the years. Major trends were identified in research articles predominantly originating from China investigating adhesive strategies for engineering activities. Continuous growth was evident for open access studies, literature reviews, and studies in biomedical areas.

《国际粘附与胶粘剂杂志》的历史观点和研究兴趣：替代计量和文献计量分析

目的《国际粘附与胶粘剂杂志》（International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives， IJAA）是国际上最著名的粘附期刊之一。本研究采用文献计量学和替代计量学方法对IJAA发表的文章进行分析。研究方法研究于2024年7月通过科学网进行。从论文中提取以下数据：被引次数和密度、年份、语言、获取方式、资助机构、文献类型、研究领域、国家、机构、作者、关键词。使用VOSviewer软件生成协同网络地图。参考尺寸测量替代数据。谷歌Trends被用来调查IJAA研究在全球的受欢迎程度。结果共纳入文献3633篇。引用数从0到492。这些文章发表于1987年至2024年之间。所有的文章都用英文发表。研究论文最多（n = 3298），调查最多的领域是“技术与工程”（n = 3205）。中国是最突出的（n = 510），但其他国家分布广泛。欧洲的作者和机构是值得注意的。最常见的关键词是“粘附”（n = 242）。VOSviewer显示了国家间的高度合作。主要在Mendeley和Patents中被强烈提及。根据谷歌Trends，伊朗是搜索IJAA最多的国家。结论近年来，sijaa的被引次数和发表文章数量均有显著增长。主要趋势是在研究文章中确定的，这些文章主要来自中国，研究工程活动的粘合剂策略。开放获取研究、文献综述和生物医学领域研究的持续增长是显而易见的。
