Abstract: This study was to explore a bibliometric approach to quantitatively assessing current
research trends on atmospheric aerosol, using the related literature in the Science Citation Index
(SCI) database from 1991 to 2006. Articles were concentrated on the analysis by scientific output,
research performances by individuals, institutes and countries, and trends by the frequency of
keywords used. Over the years, there had been a notably growth trend in research outputs, along
with more participation and collaboration of institutes and countries. Research collaborative
papers shifted from national inter-institutional to international collaboration. The decreasing
share of world total and independent articles by the seven major industrialized countries (G7)
was examined. Aerosol research in environmental and chemical related fields other than in
medical fields was the mainstream of current years. Finally, author keywords, words in title and
keywords plus were analyzed contrastively, with research trends and recent hotspots provided.
KeyWords Plus: Organic Aerosol; Chemical-Characterization; Ultrafine Particles; Particulate
Matter; United-States; Pollution; Chemistry; Emissions; Sciences; Language
