This scientometric analysis of curare research reflects several tendencies as previously seen in other bibliometric investigations, i.e. the scientific quality standard of North America and Europe.
Abstract
This scientometric analysis of curare research reflects several tendencies as previously seen in other bibliometric investigations, i.e. the scientific quality standard of North America and Europe. Research on curare decreased however, due to the declining attention towards this muscle relaxant. This work exemplifies also how scientometric methods can be used to illuminate historic circumstances immediately stimulating scientific research.

11,535 Citations2005J. E. Hirsch
The index hbar, defined as the number of papers of an individual that have citation count larger than or equal to the citation count of all coauthors of each paper, is proposed as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher that takes into account the effect of multiple authorship.
