term covering many sectors and meanings, it seems possible to distil a joint
interest in “an exploration and exploitation of bio- resources”. Such an
interest may imply different ways of applying biotechnology to bio- resources
and various forms of harvesting new bioproducts. Nonetheless, it may also
foster an improved understanding of the ecosystems in which we live and
possibilities in terms of new and sustainable solutions and the knowledge and
technologies underpinning these.
Appendix A
The following indicators have been calculated in the bibliometric analysis:
• Number of papers per year
• Total number of citations: we obtained the citation data in February
2016
• Citations per paper
• Average number of citations of each paper per year since publishing
• Number of papers per journal
• Citations of papers per journal
• Number of papers per author
• Affiliation of authors based on fraction counts: papers per country and
per organisation
• Organisational affiliation of the authors distinguishing between types of
organisations: higher education institutions, research institutes, companies, public agencies, international organisations, science agencies and
cluster organisations
• Centrality of organisations measured in number of papers based on fraction counts, and SNA centrality measures, such as degree centrality and
betweenness centrality
• Distribution of scientific field based on the categories of the database
Web of Science as an indicator for the scientific field and based on
fraction counts.
