Summary
This study mapped global dentistry research from 1999-2003. The USA, UK, Japan, and Scandinavian nations led in publication volume and quality, with high impact scientific output.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine
- Bibliometrics
- Scientific Production Mapping
Background:
- Global scientific output in dentistry requires mapping to understand research trends.
- Analyzing publication data provides insights into national research productivity and impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To create a geographic world map of scientific production in dentistry.
- To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze global dental research from 1999 to 2003.
Main Methods:
- Accessed ISI database for articles and reviews in Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine (1999-2003).
- Performed quantitative (publication counts, researcher productivity) and qualitative (impact factor, citation rates) analyses.
- Included socioeconomic indicators (publications per capita, per dentist, GDP relation).
Main Results:
- USA, UK, Japan, and Scandinavian countries were the most productive in terms of publication volume.
- Scandinavian countries demonstrated high-quality research, evidenced by high Impact Factor and Citation Rate.
- The UK exhibited high productivity per researcher.
Conclusions:
- Identified leading nations in global dental research output and quality.
- Highlighted the USA, UK, Japan, and Scandinavian countries as key contributors to dental science literature.
- Demonstrated the value of bibliometric analysis in mapping scientific fields.

01:23Investigation of Disease Outbreaks
Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...
