English abstract
The objective of the study is to analyze how the topics of the publications regarding the biomonitoring of workers have changed from 2007 to 2011, in order to understand how research subjects and priorities are evolving in the last years. Two bibliographic databases have been used, Scopus and PubMed. This last provided 1338 documents published from 2007 to 2011, that were analyzed using MEVA (MedLine Evaluator): a new search for the MESH terms found in the 5 most frequent journals in 2007 and in 2012 was made and compared. The differences between Scopus and Pubmed results were also analyzed. Results are presented as Clouds. The 5 journals were Ann Occup Hyg , J Occup Environ Hyg , Int Arch Occup Environ Health, Occup Environ Med, J Environ Monit. In 2007 among the most frequent MESH terms traditional concerns like Air Pollutants, Dust, Metallurgy, Chemical Industry and Coal Mining were found. In 2011 new MESH terms occur with high frequency, like noise, endotoxin, nanoparticles, power plants and skin chemistry. Bibliographic databases and new bibliometric tools can help the research community to understand how the changes in the society are reflected by the changing topics explored in the scientific papers highlighting which are the new risks, new substances, old and emerging concerns for the workers’ safety and public health.
