The scientific production of CINE reached an important milestone at the end of 2024: the set of articles published in indexed scientific journals received more than 10,000 citations.<\/p>\n
Since mid-2018, CINE members and their collaborators have produced around 600 papers, in which they reported on the progress of the research projects they are developing at the center. To date, these articles have been cited more than 10,800 times.<\/p>\n
The number of citations is an important measure of the impact and academic relevance of a scientific work. \u201cThese data demonstrate the global scientific community’s recognition of CINE’s contributions to the advancement of knowledge in strategic areas such as energy storage, green hydrogen, carbon capture and new materials,\u201d says Professor Juarez L. F. Da Silva (IQSC-USP), coordinator of Education and Knowledge Dissemination at CINE.<\/p>\n
The number of citations to CINE papers has increased consistently year after year. According to Google Scholar, there were 168 citations in 2019, 654 in 2020, 1,485 in 2021, 2,178 in 2022, 2,577 in 2023, and 3,253 last year. \u201cThe continued growth in the number of publications and citations reflects CINE\u2019s commitment to producing excellent science,\u201d says Juarez. \u201cThis effort translates into articles published in high-quality journals, consolidating its position as a reference in research on renewable energy and sustainable solutions,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
Some of CINE\u2019s papers have individually received more than 100 citations. Examples include a review article on porous electrode supercapacitors<\/a>, led by researchers Hudson Zanin and Leonardo M. Da Silva; the first CINE article on machine learning<\/a>, with Gabriel A. Pinheiro and Marcos G. Quiles as corresponding authors, and a paper on hybrid perovskites<\/a>, with Rodrigo Szostak and Ana Fl\u00e1via Nogueira among the lead authors.<\/p>\n
