A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis: Celebrating the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The 2025 Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) represents a remarkable milestone, as it is the thirtieth anniversary of PSB. We use this opportunity to analyze the bibliometric output of 30 years of PSB publications in a wide range of analyses with a focus on various eras that represent important disruptive breakpoints in the field of bioinformatics and biocomputing. These include an analysis of paper topics and keywords, flight emissions produced by travel to PSB by authors, citation and co-authorship networks and metrics, and a broad assessment of diversity and representation in PSB authors. We use the results of these analyses to identify insights that we can carry forward to the upcoming decades of PSB.
