Understanding trends and aiming to be at the forefront of global engineering technology has become a strategic choice for countries around the world. Since 2017, the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), in conjunction with Clarivate Analytics and the Higher Education Press, has been organizing a research project named “Global Engineering Fronts,” which aims to bring together talents in engineering and technology and push the fronts of global engineering research and development by reviewing papers and patent data. They also hope that the results of this project will provide a reference for people to respond to global challenges and achieve sustainable development. The 2019 Global Engineering Fronts research continues to draw knowledge from journals and supplements in academic divisions of the CAE. By paying equal attention to the engineering research and development fronts, this project has obtained 93 global engineering research fronts and 94 global engineering development fronts through data analysis, expert review, integration of quantitative analysis and qualitative research, and combination of data mining and expert argumentation. Among these, 28 engineering research fronts and 28 engineering development fronts are listed as the focus fields. To achieve a more scientific pre-judgment, the 2019 Global Engineering Fronts project began to nominate fronts from the perspective of the demand based on the experience of the first two years. Moreover, three rounds of deep interactions and iterative argumentation between data and experts have been conducted at each stage of data exchange, data analysis, and expert review. The aim is to improve the accuracy of data mining, research, and judgment, which can eectively maximize the utilization of papers, patents, and data indicators. This report consists of two parts. The first chapter explains the research through data and methodology and the second chapter includes nine analysis reports, focusing on nine fields, namely mechanical and vehicle engineering; information and electronic engineering; chemical, metallurgical, and materials engineering; energy and mining engineering; civil, hydraulic, and architectural engineering; environmental and light textile engineering; agriculture; medicine and health; and engineering management. Each report describes and analyzes the engineering research and development fronts in the abovementioned fields, and explains in detail the key fronts. 1 Chapter 1 Methodology Chapter 1 Methodology Underpinned by experts’ evaluation and data, the 2019 Global in which green and purple boxes indicate data analysis and Engineering Fronts project adopts multi-round interactions expert research steps, respectively. between experts and data for iterative research and analysis, realizing a deep integration of the experts’ subjective 1 Identification of engineering research judgments and objective data analyses. This project selected 93 global engineering research fronts and 94 global fronts engineering development fronts in 2019, with 28 engineering In this report, the identification of the engineering research research fronts and 28 engineering development fronts being listed as the current focus of interpreting according to fronts is performed mainly in the following two ways. The principles, such as development prospects and the degree of first is defining the literature clustering theme through the attention. The number distribution of engineering fronts of clustering method of co-citation according to the SCI journal the nine fields is shown in Table 1.1. papers and data of conference proceedings from the Web of Science Core Collection of Clarivate Analytics. The second The specific research methods consist of three stages, namely is defining the engineering research fronts through expert data exchange, data analysis, and expert review. During the nomination. Alternative engineering research fronts that were data exchange stage, the interaction of domain experts and identified through expert argumentation and refinement library and information experts plays a significant role in went through questionnaires and multiple rounds of expert defining the scope of data mining. In the data analysis stage, discussions, yielding approximately ten engineering research research hotspots and ThemeScape maps featured by data fronts in each field. are obtained through clustering methods, and engineering hotspots are determined through expert research. In the expert review stage, the results of fronts are obtained through 1.1 Acquisition and preprocessing of paper methods such as expert discussions and questionnaires. In data addition, to fix the problem of insuicient research data owing to algorithm limitations or lags in data mining, experts from different fields were encouraged to check the results of the Clarivate Analytics mapped the fields of Web of Science and data analysis to fill in the gaps and nominate the engineering the nine academic division fields of the CAE and obtained a list fronts. The specific operation procedure is shown in Figure 1.1, of journals and conferences in each field.
