Evaluation of the scientific impact, productivity and biological age based upon the h-index in three Latin American countries: the materials science case

ANNALEN DER PHYSIK, Issue 4 2009
A.H. Romero
Abstract We discuss the scientific impact of Latin American scientists in the field of materials science. The analysis is based on the h-index as the scientometric index used to quantify the scientific productivity of an individual. In particular, we focus our analysis in México, Chile and Colombia. We compare the level of productivity between all these countries. We also analyzed the h-index as function of the biological age, by using the first year of publication of a given scientists as a reference and discussed the general distribution of its quantification. We do not find a clear relationship between these two quantities. Based in our results we propose some political measures that these countries could implement to improve productivity as well as scientific development in this field. [source]

Werkzeug für die Chemische Biologie.

CHEMIE IN UNSERER ZEIT (CHIUZ), Issue 3 2010
Semisynthese
Abstract Semisynthetische Verfahren haben einen großen Beitrag zu der rasanten Entwicklung geleistet, die auf dem noch jungen Feld der Chemischen Biologie in den letzten Jahren stattgefunden haben. Dabei haben beeindruckende Beispiele für die Semisynthese von komplexen modifizierten Proteinen sowie die Derivatisierung von Naturstoffen für biologische Studien nicht nur die Grenzen des Machbaren immer weiter verschoben, sondern auch tatsächlich effiziente Werkzeuge zur Erforschung von Proteinfunktionen etabliert. Gerade für Anwendungen in der Proteomik, das Studium zellulärer Zusammenhänge und ihrer Quantifizierung sind von semisynthetischen Ansätzen weitere Impulse zu erwarten. Dabei zeichnet sie besonders ein interdisziplinärer Charakter aus, der Chemie und Biologie verknüpft. Es ist zu erwarten, dass die wissenschaftliche Bedeutung dieser Verfahren weiter zunehmen wird. Semisynthetic techniques have greatly contributed to the rapid development of Chemical Biology in recent years. In this regard the semisynthesis of complex modified proteins as well as the selective derivatization of natural products has evolved into more than mere proof-of-principle concepts but powerful tools to probe protein functions. This technology provides a solid basis for further investigations on proteomics and qualitative and quantitative cell biology. The interdisciplinary charter bridging chemistry and biology is the hallmark of semisynthesis. It can be expected that its scientific impact will further increase in the future. [source]
