Bibliographical approach to the scientific production on marine technology indexed in Web of Science database (1995-2005)

Abstract(s)

The application of bibliometry in the scientific production developed for the last ten years in the field of marine technology allows us to know which authors and institutions lead the development of this speciality. Moreover, the result of this analysis identifies the most important scientific journals for publishing works on this subject. To carry out this analysis it has been interrogated the Web of Science database, produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). This database includes the bibliographic records of what is considered the most relevant worldwide technical and scientific literature. This relevance index is fixed by the impact index of all the articles published in 8.000 scientific journals. Our bibliographic research has been obtained searching these keywords “marine technology” and “engineering ocean”, but, in order to identify the whole existing literature in the database about this subject, a second search has been executed with other synonyms and related words.
