Abstract:

 For better understanding the global trend in wastewater resource recovery and reflecting major nation’s scientific capability and influences on the world’s science community in the field, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the literatures in the Science Citation Index (SCI) database during the period 1995–2014. Results indicate that: 1) among all articles included by the SCI, water recovery from wastewaters account for the largest percentage with 72.0% of all related research fields. 2) The mainly involved subject areas are Environmental Sciences, Engineering Environmental, Water Resources, Engineering Chemical, Biotechnology Applied Microbiology, and so on. The number of the Environmental Sciences articles has the largest annual growth. 3) The topranked countries of both the total number of articles and the average impact factor are USA, Spain, and India. However, China has the fastest growth rate of publishing articles only. 4) Three research institute including University of California System, India Institute of Technology, and Consejo Superior De Investigaciones Cientificas are the most abundant research institutes in this field. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University were the two toppest institutions in China that have advance its international influence in recent years.

摘要：

为了深入了解废水资源回收相关研究的全球状况和前沿动态, 客观地反映相关国家在该领域的科学能力和科学影响, 利用ISI Web of Science引文数据库, 采用文献计量学方法, 对1995—2014年SCI收录的相关文献进行计量分析。结果表明: 1) 1995—2014年SCI收录的废水资源回收领域论文中, 水回收所占比例最高, 为72.0%; 2) 废水资源回收主要涉及环境科学、环境工程、水资源、化学工程、生物技术与应用微生物等学科, 其中环境科学学科论文年度增长速度最快; 3) 发表论文数和论文被引用率排名均靠前的国家为美国、西班牙和印度, 中国论文数增长的趋势最为显著; 4) 美国加利福尼亚大学、印度理工学院以及西班牙科学研究理事会3个研究机构在当前废水资源回收领域综合实力最强, 中国科学院、清华大学等机构近几年国际影响力有明显提升。
