Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry: Celebrating the Publication of 600 Papers in 2021, and First Bibliometric Analysis from 2016-2020

Web of Science (WoS) is covering Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry (BRIAC) from 2015 onwards. However, we performed its 1st bibliometric analysis of the last five years (from 2016 to 2020). The data from WoS was retrieved on 8th February 2021. In this period, BRIAC has published seven hundred and fifty-seven documents (n=757), majorly comprising research articles (n=665), reviews (n=86), and editorials (n=6). In all publications, exactly 2519 authors, 838 institutes or departments, and 77 countries have contributed. For numerical representations, we designed the publication and citation clubs. One thousand four hundred and thirty-four (n=1434) citations were noted. The total h-index was found to be 11, while the citation per item was recorded to be 1.89. The unofficial impact factor is 1.93. The calculation is based on citations in 2020 (498), divided by papers published in 2018-2019 (258). By VOSviewer analysis, we also represented the co-authorship network for authors, institutes, and countries. Four thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight (n=4938) keywords were noted in all publications. By co-words analysis, we represented the trends in publications. From WoS, we retrieved the per year h-index, citation per item, and total citations of BRIAC. It is worthy to note that BRIAC has accepted 600 research articles for the year 2021. All issues in 2021 are already published in advance. The present research article (bibliometric report) is paper number 600th, and it is closing the year. Based on the data, it can be concluded that in a short span of the last five years, BRIAC showed positive growth.
