Abstract

The present study examined scientific publication research productivity in British journal of cancer for a period of selected 11 years between 2005 and 2015. Source and citation data have been downloaded from the Web of Science (WoS) database of Thomson–Reuters. Histcite software is used to analysis the dataset, the analysis covers parameters like most productive authors, word frequency, document type, ranking of institution and countries. Additionally the citespace software is utilized to analysis the article for knowledge mapping.
