Most impactive authors
A total of 12,894 authors had published in the research of CRS and NPs
in the past two decades. Among them, 265 authors had published ≥10
publications. We analyzed the core authors in this field according to
Price’s law(mp=0.749*\(\sqrt{n\text{pm}}\text{ax}\)).
In this law, mp is the minimum number of articles
published by core authors in the statistical period, andnpmax is the number of articles published by the
authors with the most significant number of publications in the
statistical period. Through calculation, mp = 9.41, and
265 core authors with publications ≥ 10 were counted. Supplementary
table 2 shows the top 5 authors regarding the number of publications.
The author with the most publications was Prof. Bachert Claus, who had
published 158 articles cited 10,093 times. Furthermore, we noted that
Prof. Zhang Luo had a significantly later average publication year than
the other four professors and remained active in CRS and NPs-related
research in recent years.
We drew a visualized collaboration network of these 265 authors (Figure
2D). The same color represents a cluster of authors with collaborative
relationships, such as the collaboration between Bachert Claus, Wang
chengshuo, Lou hongfei, and others.
Authors with ≥50 co-citations were screened. The most co-cited author
was Bachert, C (n=2808), followed by Fokkens, WJ (n=1767) and Gevaert, P
(n=1061) (Supplementary table 3). Close collaboration among the co-cited
authors was prevalent (Supplementary figure 2).
