Looking for: time vs number of DNA (genetics) related publications

[Nathan McCorkle]

I'm looking for some metric to show the popularity of genetics, and thus DNA.

Google isn't being very helpful with "genetics publications total", etc...

Anyone ever see something like this?

Have you tried using Mendeleys API?

Google Ngram viewer, while not an academic, is still interesting.

Yes I am on sci-finder as we speak, it has a pretty nice tool that allows you to analyze search results for key words and put them into a "graph" format.

The problem is, "genetics" even after filtered down to English language + Journals from 1950-2012 only still gives over 2 million hits.  I need to get down to 15,000 before I can view it in a graph form for publication year....and I don't know how.

It seems when you get too many search results tons of functions just seem to shut down on the website. 

I'll post something when I get the results down to a reasonable level.

If you can get into sci-finder, check it out, pretty good tools although I'm not too familiar with them.

That sounds pretty good, except for the whittling down to less than
15000 results.... Does sci-finder have an API? Or maybe a way to just
go through year by year, and return the # of publications... then
graph them with some other program

I'll have to chekc out Mendeley too

I couldn't get genetics or DNA+genetics down to below 15k. sooooo I turned to "synthetic biology"

Here is a list of the # of times Synthetic Biology has been referenced in published papers.  I searched from 1900-2012 in English Language + Journals

Pretty cool, first ones showed up in 2003, and it has taken off.


As for the API, I have no idea, you can see the past few years, and probably sort 2011-2012 or something and do it one by one.  THere is also an option to export as varying file types, but I havn't messed with that yet.

Hi Nathan, 

THis is abhisek,You can use plus one biology journal for recent updated information on genetics or nature genetics 

Thanks,
