Each record contains English language abstract with the bibliographic information, e.g., researcher, name of journal, researcher address, affiliation, key words and cited items, etc., the downloaded data was analyzed for source items to find out the research trend. The downloaded data has been stored in MS-Excel files for further analysis.
