Abstract

Objective: To investigate journal features by collecting data from Medline and to visualize the journal characteristics of Bioinformatics.

Method: Selecting 11,411 abstracts, author names, countries and MESH (medical subject heading) terms by a keyword “Bioinformatics”[Journal] on October 31, 2017 from the Medline, we applied social network analysis (SNA) and Google Maps to report following features:

a. Nation distribution and coauthor collaboration,

b. Journal features represented by paper MESH terms.

We found that

a. The most number of papers are from nations of U.S. (4175, 36.58%) and Germany (1010, 8.85%)

b. The most linked MESH terms are algorithms and software.

Keywords: MESH terms; Authorship Collaboration; Google Maps; Social Network Analysis; Medline
