Khái niệm cốt lõi
The research presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), integrating natural language processing, topic modeling, and network analysis methods, and engaging domain experts to provide in-depth interpretation and refinement of the results.
Tóm tắt
The study conducted a scientometric analysis of 65,209 MOF research articles to provide a comprehensive understanding of the field. Key findings include:
Identification of the most influential research works, journals, and their latent connections in the MOF area. The top influential publications include foundational works on crystal structure validation, original MOF synthesis experiments, and review articles covering general concepts and applications.
Determination of four main MOF research directions: MOF synthesis, properties/applications of MOF materials, use of MOFs in biomedicine, and MOF data processing and modeling. Analysis of research topic trends over time reveals a shift towards more effective synthesis strategies and property/application studies in recent years.
Detection of eight specific research communities within the MOF field, each with distinct research topics such as drug delivery, carbon capture, catalytic materials, homochiral MOFs, and electrical properties of MOFs.
Demonstration of the value of integrating domain expert feedback into the scientometric analysis workflow. The iterative engagement of MOF researchers helped refine the methods, interpret the results, and uncover insights not apparent from the data alone.
The comprehensive landscape of MOF research provided by this study can help domain scientists target future research directions and address the current gap in fully mapping out the evolving field of metal-organic frameworks.
