Abstract:
Publication statistics was retrieved on carbon nanodots (C-dots) from 2004 up till 2014 using the web of Science(TM) search engine. The number of publications from Chinese authors increased exponentially during this period. Till 2014 China mainland authors contributed 47% of the total publications. Publications on pharmacology and toxicology lagged far behind the publications on chemistry and material science, indicating that research is not solidly moving toward the direction of application.
