ABSTRACT: It is well established fact that Turkish scientists have
increasingly contributed to the literature on the bio-energy in recent years. However, there has not been any biographic study of these scientists as well as scientists working in the field of bio-energy.
Therefore, as a first-ever case study of Turkish scientists, this paper presents a scientometric biography of Prof. Dr. Ayhan Demirbas working in the area of bio-energy since 1980s. He produced 454 articles and reviews in the interdisciplinary areas relating to the bio-energy between 1984 and 2010 where 379 of them were indexed by the SCI or the SSCI. He received 7,309 citations for his 454 papers giving a ratio for the "Average Citations per Item" as 16.1 and "H-index" over 39 as of July 2011, suggesting that the scientific impact of his research on the relevant literature has been significant. This paper suggests that scientometric methods are useful for the evaluation of individual researchers and for publicizing their scientific achievement.

TITLE: The evaluation of the research on biofuels: a
scientometric approach (Article, English)

KEYWORDS: Biofuels; Research evaluation; Scientometrics; Web of

KEYWORDS+: MICROBIAL FUEL-CELLS; BIODIESEL PRODUCTION; RECENT TRENDS;

ABSTRACT: The present study explores the characteristics of the
literature on the biofuels published during the last three decades, based on the databases of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and its implications using the scientometric techniques. The results of this study reveal that the literature on the biofuels has grown exponentially during this period reaching 6,770 papers in total with paralleling enormous changes in the research landscape. Papers mostly have been journal articles, reviews, and proceedings, predominantly in English. USA, China, and Germany have been the three most prolific countries. The "University of Illinois" has been the most prolific institution. The most prolific authors have been "Demirbas A" and "Minter SD". "Biomass & Bioenergy" has been the most prolific journal whilst, "Energy Fuels" has been the most prolific subject area. The total number of citations is 79,304, giving a ratio for the "Average Citations per Item" as 11.71 and "H-index" as 101. Ragauskas et al. has had the highest impact on the literature. Both the research output and the citations have thrived spectacularly after 2005. The results of this first ever such study of its kind, show that the scientometric analysis has a great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the high-profile research on the biofuels, complementing other research techniques.

ABSTRACT: The present study explores the characteristics of the
literature on the biodiesel published during the last three decades based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and its implications using the scientometric techniques. The results of this study reveal that the research output on the biodiesel and the citations received have grown exponentially during this period especially after 2004 with paralleling enormous changes in the research landscape. The US, China, and Brazil have been the three most prolific countries. The "USDA" has been the most prolific institution and "Demirbas A" of Turkey has been the most prolific author.
"Bioresource Technology" has been the most prolific journal whilst, "Energy & Fuels" has been the most prolific subject area. "H-index" was
102 and Ma & Hanna [1] has had the highest impact on the literature. The scientometric analysis has a great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the research on the biodiesel, complementing the scientometric studies in the other fields of the renewable energies such as biohydrogen, bioenergy, biofuels, and microbial fuel cells, providing a unique insight on the incentive structures for all the key stakeholders in the field.

ABSTRACT: The present study explores the characteristics of the
literature on the bioethanol published during the last three decades based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and its implications using the scientometric techniques. The results of this study reveal that the research output on the bioethanol and the citations received have grown exponentially during this period especially after 2004 with paralleling enormous changes in the research landscape. The US, China, and Japan have been the three most prolific countries. The "Tech Univ Denmark" has been the most prolific institution and "Zacchi G" of Sweden has been the most prolific author.
"Bioresource Technology" has been the most prolific journal whilst "Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology" has been the most prolific subject area. "H-index" was 61 and "Demirbas A" [1] has had the highest impact on the literature. The scientometric analysis has a great potential to gain valuable insights into the evolution of the research on the bioethanol, complementing the scientometric studies in the other fields of the renewable energies such as biohydrogen, biodiesel, bioenergy, biofuels, and microbial fuel cells, providing a unique insight on the incentive structures for all the key stakeholders in the field.
